Microcement in Overijssel
Overijssel combines the best of city and countryside. The Hanseatic cities of Zwolle, Deventer and Kampen with their historic centres, modern Enschede and Hengelo, and rural Salland and Twente with their farms and estates. It is a province with rich architectural diversity that makes microcement a versatile solution.
In Zwolle and Deventer there are many listed buildings and townhouses from the 17th and 18th centuries. These properties have thick walls, irregular floors and a character you want to preserve. Microcement respects that history: the thin build-up of just 3 millimetres goes over the existing substrate without any demolition. The result is a floor that feels modern but leaves the character of the property intact.
In Twente we see a different type of home. The Twente farmhouses, often with their characteristic hall-house structure and wide barn door, are increasingly being converted into spacious residences. The large open spaces in these farmhouses call for a continuous floor that supports the architecture. Microcement runs seamlessly from the kitchen-diner to the living room, from the hallway to the utility room, without interruptions that visually shrink the space.
The clay soil in large parts of Overijssel provides stable foundations, which is favourable for microcement. The substrate moves less than on sandy ground, keeping the risk of hairline cracks to a minimum. Combined with the flexible Forcrete system, this creates a surface that stays intact for years.
We are happy to come to Overijssel for a no-obligation consultation. Whether it is a small bathroom project in a Zwolle townhouse or a complete finish of a Twente farmhouse, every project deserves our full attention.
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.

Custom finishing in Overijssel
In Overijssel's cities we work in apartments and townhouses. Microcement replaces tiles in bathrooms, creates seamless kitchen walls and gives living rooms a contemporary look. The thin build-up makes it suitable for any type of home, from a compact apartment in Enschede to a 1930s house in Deventer.
In the countryside of Twente and Salland we encounter farms and villas where large surfaces need finishing. A Twente farmhouse with 200 square metres of living space needs a material that can handle this scale without joints or transitions. Microcement offers exactly that: it runs seamlessly across dozens of square metres, from the hallway to the living room, and suits the rural atmosphere with warm, earthy tones.
The Forcrete system we use is fully waterproof, making it suitable for bathrooms, kitchens and even spa spaces. In a region where wellness accommodations and bed-and-breakfasts in the countryside are growing, that is a significant advantage. A microcement walk-in shower or steam room offers the luxury look guests expect, without the maintenance of grout and tiles.
For shops and hospitality venues in Overijssel's historic centres, microcement is a durable choice. It is scratch-resistant, easy to clean and retains its appearance under heavy use.

Why Coated Surfaces in Overijssel
We are one of the few certified Forcrete installers in the Netherlands. That means a proven waterproof system, applied by a dedicated team that applies every layer with precision. No outsourcing, no compromises. Pom, a former professional dancer with Cirque du Soleil, has an eye for detail that translates into perfectly finished surfaces.
Our experience with diverse projects, from small bathrooms to large farmhouses, means we know the right approach for every situation in Overijssel. The clay soil, the historic substrates in the Hanseatic cities, the large surfaces of Twente farmhouses: each type requires specific preparation and we know exactly what is needed.
We exclusively use the Forcrete product range: primer, base layers, finishing layers and sealer. Each product is specifically developed to work together, guaranteeing adhesion and waterproofing. That system guarantee is something loose products can never provide.
The process in Overijssel
A home visit is the first step. We assess the substrate, discuss your preferences and propose a colour scheme. In historic properties in Zwolle or Deventer we pay extra attention to the condition of the existing floor and any moisture issues. Then follows a quote with a fixed price and clear planning.
An average of around five working days for a complete home. For larger farmhouse projects that can extend to seven or eight days. We work cleanly, protect your belongings and deliver a result you will enjoy for years.
