Microcement in Groningen province
Groningen province is an area with character. The city of Groningen as a vibrant student centre with a young, design-conscious population. The Wadden region with its unique nature and UNESCO status. And the wide Groningen countryside with its characteristic farms, manor houses and villages. The architecture reflects that diversity and offers plenty of opportunities for microcement.
In the city of Groningen we see many old townhouses and apartments ready for a modern finish. The historic city centre with properties from the 17th and 18th centuries has floors that are often uneven and worn. Microcement is ideal for these renovations: it goes directly over the existing substrate without demolition, with just 3 millimetres of build-up. The character of the property is preserved while the floor looks modern and sleek.
In the Groningen countryside there are many characteristic Oldambt farmhouses and Groningen manor houses being converted into modern living spaces. These properties often have enormous surface areas, sometimes 300 square metres or more. Microcement runs seamlessly from room to room and enhances the open character of this special architecture.
The Groningen clay soil provides a stable base for microcement. Unlike sandy ground, clay soils move minimally, keeping the risk of cracks negligible. Combined with the flexible Forcrete system, this creates a floor that stays intact for years.
We are happy to come to Groningen. We plan projects in the north carefully in consecutive working weeks, so we work efficiently and you get an excellent result.
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 Groningen
In the city of Groningen we work in apartments, townhouses and commercial spaces. Microcement floors and walls give these properties a contemporary look. Bathrooms are completely transformed with our waterproof Forcrete system: walk-in showers, washbasins and walls seamlessly finished without joints.
In the countryside we apply microcement in farmhouses and country homes. The Oldambt farmhouse with its enormous barn section being converted into living space, the Groningen manor house with its stately rooms: large surfaces, underfloor heating and the combination with natural materials. That is exactly where microcement is at its best.
For shops and hospitality in Groningen's centre, microcement offers a durable and low-maintenance alternative to tiles. The student city has a lively hospitality and retail scene where the appearance of the venue is a calling card. Microcement offers the sleek, industrial look many of these businesses seek, combined with the durability that heavy use demands.
In the Wadden region, where tourism and nature converge, more and more holiday accommodations are choosing microcement. The material withstands moisture, sand and heavy use by changing guests.

Why Coated Surfaces in Groningen
Distance is no barrier to quality. As a certified Forcrete installer we deliver the same standard in Groningen as in the Randstad. Pom and his team apply every layer by hand. No rushed work, no compromises. That dedication stems from Pom's background as a professional dancer with Cirque du Soleil, where precision and attention to detail were non-negotiable.
We plan projects in the north in consecutive working weeks, so the result is delivered efficiently. When there are multiple projects in the region, we combine them to minimise travel time. Our experience with diverse project types, from compact city apartments to farmhouses of hundreds of square metres, means we have a solution for every situation in Groningen.
The Forcrete system we use is specifically developed for the European market and resistant to the humid North-Netherlands climate. Every layer, from primer to sealer, works as part of an integrated system that guarantees waterproofing and durability.
Your project in Groningen
We start with a visit to your property. In Groningen we sometimes combine that with multiple projects in the region. After the inspection you receive a quote with a fixed price.
We plan the execution in a consecutive period. We work carefully and leave the space tidy. Afterwards we discuss the final result together.
