A new living floor alongside the details you keep
An adjoining-room opening, bay window or timber staircase gives a house its character. Renovation does not have to replace that with an entirely new interior. Microcement can provide a quiet background for existing features. Coated Surfaces installs Forcrete living floors, kitchen walls and bathrooms in Bussum.
Bussum is part of Gooise Meren. The protected areas of Het Spiegel and Bredius reflect the importance of its existing urban fabric. Every property still needs an individual assessment of floors, earlier alterations and finishes you want to retain.
To connect a living room with a renewed kitchen, we examine the junction first. Different bases, levels or movement joints can determine what is possible. Plinths, sliding doors and the first stair tread also belong in the plan before colour and texture are selected.
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.

Continuous colour with respect for the layout
In adjoining rooms, one floor colour can connect the spaces while original openings and frames stay. We check where the finish ends and whether both rooms share the same base. Necessary structural separations cannot disappear beneath a decorative coating. A carefully placed joint can belong in a calm design.
In a kitchen, compare samples with cabinetry, wall colour and daylight through the bay or glazing. Hand-applied texture is not a uniform printed pattern. Discuss whether you prefer quiet variation or more visible movement; a physical sample is more helpful than a screen image.
Bathrooms and walls need an application-specific build-up. A timber upper floor requires assessment of its supporting base. Shower falls, drains and junctions matter. Early coordination with the contractor prevents these from becoming problems in the finishing stage.

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.”
Handwork that belongs in the interior
Our Harmelen farmhouse shows microcement, timber and a kitchen working together. It is outside Bussum, but its photographs clearly show material transitions. The Amsterdam concept store provides another reference, with the floor supporting the interior rather than dominating it.
Pom is your contact for advice and installation, and a certified Forcrete installer based in Schiedam. Assessment covers the existing floor as well as the desired appearance. Clear preparation, finish and scheduling requirements help coordinate several trades in the same home.
Start with what stays and what changes
Send photographs of the room, openings and current floor. Tell us whether the kitchen is installed, whether heating is present and which parts of the layout will change. A plan marking retained features is more useful than area alone.
Inspection leads to samples, preparation and sequencing, followed by a fixed price. Scheduling includes curing and the return of furniture or other trades. If you remain at home, we discuss access beforehand. Handover covers everyday maintenance.
What does microcement cost in Bussum?
Living floors have a base rate of €140 per m², excluding VAT; bathrooms and walls are €180 per m². The minimum fee is €3,000. Old adhesive, different levels and junctions may require additional preparation. A quotation should explain what happens beneath the finish and what your contractor must still complete.

Good to know
Can existing adjoining-room doors stay?
Retention may be possible, but we check clearance against the complete build-up. Levelling or repair can require more space than microcement alone. Agree preparation and dimensions before altering doors.
Do you cover Het Spiegel and Bredius?
Yes, we accept enquiries from these areas and the rest of Bussum. Identify retained features and, where relevant, coordinate proposed changes to protected or listed properties with the municipality and your adviser.
Will colour and texture be identical everywhere?
No. Hand application creates variation in the texture. A sample establishes the direction, not a repeating pattern. Light also affects appearance. We discuss these characteristics before you choose.
