Seamless Microcement Floors Amsterdam
Seamless floors for canal houses, lofts and apartments. Quotes and planning in English.
Microcement tailored to Amsterdam spaces
Planning microcement in Amsterdam starts with the room and the route to it. An upper-floor apartment, a canal house with a narrow staircase and a shop with fixed opening hours each need different arrangements for access, storage and working times. Coated Surfaces works from Schiedam and discusses Amsterdam projects according to the actual address and scope.
A continuous floor can visually connect the hallway, kitchen and living area. The substrate must first establish what preparation is required. Repairs, levelling and a suitable base system can add height; existing material can remain only when inspection shows it is suitable. Include doors, stair edges, skirtings and adjoining floors in that review.
A rented property needs approval for the agreed work. An apartment may also have VvE rules for working hours, transport and wet rooms. Record the proposed build-up, work boundaries and schedule before booking other trades or deliveries.
Coated's completed 110 square metre Amsterdam concept store is the local reference project. Use it to discuss colour, texture and detailing; the substrate and intended use in your own property determine the final specification.
Discipline As Foundation
Coated Surfaces grew out of a world where precision isn't negotiable. Founder Pom spent years as a professional dancer at Cirque du Soleil. Every night the same movement, down to the millimetre. That might sound far from floors and walls, but it's the opposite.
Microcement demands exactly that same control. Timing, feel, precision. The difference between a good floor and an exceptional one comes down to millimetres. We take the time it needs. No rushing, no half measures. Just lasting surfaces that bring calm to a space.

Applications in Amsterdam properties
Amsterdam canal houses require careful assessment of the substrate, access and existing details. Microcement can be applied over a suitable existing floor, but only after adhesion, flatness, joints, moisture and movement have been checked. Repairs or levelling can add height and work.
The primer, base coats and finish are applied on site with hand tools. That limits heavy transport through a narrow staircase without promising that every renovation is demolition-free.
For retail, the product and finish are matched to the expected load and maintenance. With underfloor heating we discuss the installation, screed and commissioning protocol; in a wet room we assess falls, drains, corners and junctions as well as the waterproof material.

What clients say
Google review“We had our bathroom, measuring approximately 3 by 3 metres, completely renovated with microcement by Pom of Coated Surfaces, including a wall enclosing the shower. [...] In short: a craftsman and a pleasure to have in your home.”
Google review“It had been a wish for years. Pom made that wish come true. In a short conversation we shared our wishes and Pom thought along with us. The work was done very neatly, precisely and as agreed. His aftercare is also very good. We are very happy with the end result. Thank you, Pom.”
Google review“Top company, they think along with you and simply keep the agreements they make! As it should be. Pom delivered a piece of true craftsmanship in our bathroom.”
Why Coated Surfaces in Amsterdam
The 110 square metre concept store, completed with Floors In Style, shows real Coated work in Amsterdam. Its project page documents the floor and its relationship to the retail interior. That is useful evidence of the installation, but it does not mean a different substrate permits the same preparation or schedule.
For your project, we record which surfaces are included, what must remain and how materials can reach the work area. Intended use matters too: a shop floor, home and bathroom do not automatically need the same texture, protective finish or care plan. The quotation can then describe your property rather than repeat a general material promise.
How does a microcement project work in Amsterdam?
For the first enquiry, send a plan, approximate dimensions and photographs of the substrate, thresholds and access route. Include the floor level, lift dimensions, loading restrictions and any VvE working hours. Access and preparation can then be discussed before a visit is arranged.
After inspection, the quotation records the work boundaries, substrate preparation, agreed sample and schedule. Application days, curing and the dates for furniture, water exposure or normal loading are separate milestones. Coordinate neighbours, other trades and deliveries around those dates, and keep the care instructions with the project documents.

Good to know
Microcement is a thin, seamless finishing material based on cement, minerals and resin. It is applied by hand in multiple layers and is suitable for floors, walls, bathrooms, kitchens and stairs. The result is a clean, continuous surface without joints or seams. Learn more: View the interactive floor build-up.
Microcement can be applied over existing tiles when the tiled floor is suitable, stable and firmly fixed. We first check adhesion, cracks, grout lines, levelness and residual moisture. If the substrate is suitable, the tiles are roughened with a grinding machine to remove the glaze layer. We then apply the specified primer and preparation, followed by a 160 g/m2 reinforcement mesh in a scratch coat, the High Traffic Base XT and the chosen finish. Repairs or additional levelling may still be needed. When the existing tiled floor can remain, this can reduce demolition work. Learn more: View the interactive floor build-up, Read about microcement bathrooms.
Underfloor heating can be combined with a microcement system specified for that use. The heating type, whether electric or water-fed, the screed and the complete floor build-up must be known beforehand. The completed commissioning protocol also matters. We tailor preparation and instructions for switching the heating off and restarting it to the project and the products used. Learn more: View the interactive floor build-up.
Microcement starts from 140 euros per m2 for floors and from 180 euros per m2 for walls in wet areas such as bathrooms and showers. The final price depends on the condition of the substrate, the complexity of the space and the total surface area. A floor that requires additional levelling takes more time and materials, and a bathroom with many corners and niches demands more work than an open living floor. For larger projects we offer volume discounts: the more m2, the lower the price per m2. The price per m2 includes material and the application of the complete system. Preparation is charged separately: levelling a tiled floor 15 euro per m2, levelling a bathroom 60 euro per m2, stripping and roughening tiles 500 euro per project and 250 euro per niche. We apply a minimum project fee of 3,000 euro. All amounts exclude VAT. Our pricing page lists every rate with two worked examples. Learn more: View all rates and worked examples.
A standard floor project takes an average of five to seven working days, depending on the surface area and complexity. This includes substrate preparation, primer, reinforcement mesh, scratch coat, multiple layers of microcement and the final sealer. Each operation follows the specified drying and recoating times. A bathroom typically takes five working days. It is smaller, but takes more time per square metre because of waterproofing and detailing around drains, niches and connections. Curing after completion is additional. Our terms specify at least 48 hours before light use, 7 days before water exposure and 28 days before full use. No standing water is allowed on the floor during the first 4 weeks. These periods do not replace the product-specific maintenance protocol. Ask us to confirm the waiting period for your finish before water exposure; a longer product-specific waiting period takes precedence.
Yes, provided the wooden subfloor is sufficiently rigid and stable. Wood naturally moves with changes in temperature and humidity, and that movement must first be limited. Loose boards are secured and where necessary the floor is stiffened with bonded sheet material to create a dimensionally stable base. On top comes the standard build-up: epoxy primer, 160 g/m2 reinforcement mesh, scratch coat and the microcement finish. The mesh helps distribute stress, but cannot rule out structural movement or cracking. We always assess a wooden subfloor on site first: not every situation is suitable without additional measures.
