Microcement for Rotterdam architecture
Rotterdam is built on boldness. Clean lines, raw materials, spaces that dare. From a loft on the Wilhelminapier to a new-build in Kralingen, from an apartment on Kop van Zuid to a townhouse in Hillegersberg - Rotterdam architecture demands a finish that matches that energy.
Microcement fits right in. Literally. The material runs from room to room, from floor to wall, from bathroom to walk-in shower. No grout, no interruptions. One continuous surface that amplifies the sense of space Rotterdam is known for.
In a city of concrete and glass, microcement adds warmth without losing the industrial edge. The texture feels mineral and alive, quite unlike a cold tile floor. And because it is only 3 millimetres thick, it works perfectly for renovating existing apartments and over underfloor heating.
As a Rotterdam local, we know the city. We live and work in the region, and you notice that. Short communication lines, no travel surcharges, and we can be on site within fifteen minutes when needed. We completed a full microcement bathroom in Rotterdam-South - 33 m2 seamless, including walk-in shower and integrated vanity.
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 Rotterdam homes
Rotterdam is bold. The city is built on guts, and you see that reflected in its interiors. In lofts on the Wilhelminapier or Kop van Zuid, I regularly apply microcement across large open floor areas. No interruptions, no thresholds between kitchen and living space - exactly how those rooms were designed to flow.
Wet rooms are where microcement truly shines. In Rotterdam-Zuid I finished a complete 33 square metre bathroom: walk-in shower, integrated vanity unit, walls and floor as one continuous surface. Forcrete microcement is sealed to be waterproof and built for daily use in showers and around basins. No silicone joints yellowing over time, no tile edges collecting limescale.
For Hillegersberg villas with spacious kitchens, I apply microcement to countertops and kitchen islands. The Mohs 7 hardness of the Forcrete system means it handles scratches from pots and cutlery. In the industrial buildings around the Maashaven, I see more businesses choosing microcement for showrooms and offices. It fits the Rotterdam character: honest material, no pretence.

Your microcement specialist in Rotterdam
We are based in the Rotterdam area and one of the few certified Forcrete installers in the Netherlands. Pom applies every layer himself. No subcontractors, no middlemen. What you discuss is what you get.
In Rotterdam-Zuid, we completed a full 33 m2 microcement bathroom: floor, walls, walk-in shower and a seamlessly integrated vanity unit. That project shows exactly how we work - with attention to detail and without compromise.
Rotterdam is our home base, and you can tell. We know the architecture of this city inside out. The post-war construction, the industrial lofts on the Kop van Zuid, the townhouses in Kralingen, the new builds along the Maas - for each type of property, we know which primer, which layer build-up and which finish works best. Short communication lines, fast response times, and if something comes up we are at your door the same day. That is the advantage of working locally. We are not a company that arrives from far away and disappears again. We are here.
How does a microcement project work in Rotterdam?
Because Rotterdam is our home base, a project here often starts with a casual introduction at your home or on site. No pressure, no obligations. We look at the space, discuss your wishes and map the substrate. With Rotterdam new builds, the floor is usually level and we can start quickly. For older properties in areas like Hillegersberg or the Oude Noorden, we take the time to assess the existing floor and pre-treat it where needed. You receive a clear proposal with colour selection, exact planning and a fixed price. During execution, we are the only people in your home - no rotating crews. Pom applies every layer himself and maintains complete oversight of the entire project. After the final sealing layer, we let everything cure and do a final inspection together. No rushed work. Just good craftsmanship, close to home.
