Microcement for Drenthe interiors
Drenthe is the quietest province in the Netherlands, and that is exactly its strength. Spacious homes, large gardens and a landscape that invites relaxation. The Drenthe building style is pragmatic and honest, with extensive use of natural materials such as wood, brick and thatch.
Microcement fits surprisingly well here. The material brings a modern elegance without diminishing the warm, rural atmosphere. A seamless floor in earth tones, a clean wall in the bathroom, a continuous countertop - it enhances the interior without dominating it. The soft colour variations of hand-trowelled microcement blend seamlessly with the Drenthe landscape.
In Drenthe we see many detached homes and farms with large living areas, sometimes 80 to 120 square metres on the ground floor. Microcement is at its most beautiful on large surfaces, where the seamless character fully comes into its own. Combined with underfloor heating, it is also very practical: the thin 3-millimetre build-up conducts heat more efficiently than thick tiles.
The Drenthe soil is predominantly sand and peat. Homes on sandy ground have stable substrates, which is ideal for microcement. For older properties on peat soil, we always recommend a thorough inspection of the subfloor for potential movement.
We plan projects in Drenthe carefully and work in consecutive periods for an efficient result. Projects in Assen, Emmen, Hoogeveen, Meppel and surrounding areas are typically scheduled in week-long blocks.
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 Drenthe homes
In Drenthe we mainly work with large floor surfaces. Living rooms of 50 square metres or more running into the kitchen and hallway. Microcement creates a calm, cohesive whole here without joints or transitions between rooms.
Bathrooms in Drenthe homes are often generously sized. The Forcrete waterproof system enables walk-in showers and freestanding baths without tiles. The result is a spa-like space in your own home. The full waterproofing of every layer makes silicone sealing unnecessary.
Microcement is also a suitable choice for converting Saxon farmhouses. The characteristic hall houses with their open floor plans are perfectly suited for a continuous floor. The material respects the historic character while adding modern comfort. We also apply microcement to walls and countertops, so the entire interior achieves a cohesive look.
For holiday homes and cottages around the Drenthe forests and the Dwingelderveld, microcement is equally practical: low-maintenance, moisture-resistant and able to handle the varying occupancy of a holiday home.
