Microcement in Groningen
Groningen is independent-minded. A city that charts its own course, with a young, creative population that chooses deliberately. For sustainability, for quality, for materials that age with grace rather than against it. Microcement fits that mindset.
It is a material without waste. Just 2-4 mm thin, applied over the existing floor or wall. No demolition waste, no unnecessary buildup.
The Groningen housing market is diverse. From characteristic townhouses around the Noorderplantsoen to renovated warehouses in the Ebbingekwartier and sleek new builds in Meerstad. In all these homes, microcement offers the same advantage: a seamless surface that elevates the space without altering the existing structure.
We work across the entire Netherlands, and that includes Groningen and Drenthe. Distance is not a barrier for us. We take the time a project deserves, regardless of location. The result is a floor, wall or bathroom that looks exactly the same ten years from now as the day it was finished.
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.

Microcement applications in Groningen
Groningen brings together everything from stately townhouses along the Noorderplantsoen to converted warehouses in the Ebbingekwartier and crisp new-builds in Meerstad. Microcement fits all of them. In the canal-side homes, we apply seamless floors directly over existing tiles - no demolition, no weeks of dust. For new construction in Meerstad, we work alongside underfloor heating systems, because Forcrete microcement conducts warmth more efficiently than tiles or wood.
Our most common requests? Bathrooms and kitchens. A waterproof microcement finish in your shower replaces grout lines that discolour within five years. Kitchen countertops in microcement are heat-resistant and develop more character over time. And for former student properties finally getting a proper renovation: microcement is hard-wearing enough to handle years of heavy use.
We work across the entire north of the Netherlands, from Groningen through Drenthe. Every layer is applied by hand - no machines, no subcontractors. That way we stay in full control of the result, whether it is a compact city apartment or a detached home in the Westerkwartier.

Why microcement in Groningen?
People in Groningen want to know what they are getting. No sales talk, just honest craftsmanship. As a certified Forcrete installer, we work with the best microcement system on the market. 100% waterproof, scratch-resistant, and compatible with underfloor heating. Whether it concerns a characterful townhouse near Noorderplantsoen, a loft in the Ebbingekwartier, or a new-build in Meerstad - we are happy to visit for a no-obligation consultation. Together we assess the space, discuss the possibilities, and create a plan that suits your home and budget.
I do every project myself, from the first base coat to the final seal. No subcontractors, no rotating crews. That means you know who is working in your home and who is accountable for the end result. Yes, Groningen is a long drive from Rotterdam. But good work deserves that journey. And honestly: I love working in the North. The calm, the space, the straightforward people. That fits the way I work.
How does a microcement project work in Groningen?
It starts with a conversation at your home. I inspect the substrate, the light, the spaces. In Groningen I often work in older properties with wooden floors or existing tile surfaces - that requires different preparation than new-build homes in Meerstad. After the consultation you receive a clear quotation, no surprises afterwards. On the agreed day I travel to Groningen and begin with substrate preparation. Then I build up the microcement layer by layer, entirely by hand. An average bathroom takes two to three days, a living room with kitchen three to four. I schedule projects in the North so I can work consecutive days. Efficient for you, efficient for me. After curing I apply the sealer. Then it is done. No aftercare needed, no hassle. Just a surface that lasts for years.
