Microcement is a composite material based on cement and water resins that you can use to cover your wall. This material stands out for its great adhesion and compatibility with any type of surface, be it tile, brick, plasterboard or plaster, among others.

This interior design trend is inspired by hand-spread cement and concrete, ideal for recreating an industrial atmosphere in any room.
