Microcement Coastal Homes Zeeland

Zeeland is water. The Zeeland islands, the coastline, the Delta Works. It is a province where moisture always plays a role, and where materials need to withstand salt, wind and water. That is exactly where microcement excels, and specifically the Forcrete system we use.

The Forcrete system is fully waterproof. Not just at the surface, but through all layers: primer, base layers, finishing layers and sealer together form an impenetrable barrier. That makes it ideal for Zeeland coastal homes where moisture from salty air and stormy weather is a constant. Where traditional tile floors suffer from moisture problems in the grout, microcement stays intact for years.

In Middelburg, Goes and Vlissingen we see a mix of historic townhouses and modern apartments. The Zeeland city centres with properties from the Golden Age require a finish that respects the character of the building. With just 3 millimetres of build-up, microcement goes over the existing floor without demolition, ideal for listed buildings where every millimetre of height counts.

The coastal towns of Domburg, Renesse and Cadzand-Bad have a growing market for luxury holiday homes. Microcement is the perfect choice here: sand blowing in, wet feet from the beach and heavy use by changing guests, the surface can handle it all. The sealer protects against salt and UV, keeping the colour stable for years.

From our base in South Holland, Zeeland is easily accessible. Most projects are within an hour and a half's drive, allowing us to plan flexibly.

Bathrooms in coastal homes need extra protection against moisture. The Forcrete waterproof system provides that protection without compromising on design. Walk-in showers, washbasins and walls are seamlessly finished. In a region where salty air and high humidity quickly damage grout, the seamless finish of microcement is a major advantage.

For living rooms and kitchens in holiday homes, microcement is a smart choice. It withstands sand blowing in, wet feet from the beach and heavy use by changing guests. Holiday home landlords in Domburg, Renesse or Cadzand-Bad appreciate the low maintenance: a damp mop is all that is needed.

In historic properties in Middelburg and Veere, microcement fits over existing floors without demolition. That preserves the character of the property while increasing comfort. The combination of a 17th-century Middelburg facade with a sleek microcement floor behind it is an image we see more and more.

For Zeeland's hospitality sector, from beach pavilions to restaurants in Zierikzee, microcement offers a surface that looks presentable under heavy use. Scratch-resistant, moisture-resistant and easy to clean, exactly what a coastal business needs.

The waterproof Forcrete system could have been made for Zeeland. As a certified installer we guarantee a result that withstands the Zeeland climate. Pom and his team apply every layer by hand, with the precision that comes from his background as a professional dancer with Cirque du Soleil.

For coastal homes we recommend specific sealers that offer extra protection against salt and UV. That extends the lifespan and keeps the colour stable for years, even with direct exposure to sea air. We take the Zeeland weather into account during application: moisture and temperature affect the curing process, and we know exactly which conditions are optimal.

Our experience with moisture-sensitive environments, including bathrooms and spa spaces, translates directly to the Zeeland context. Every project gets a tailored system build-up that matches the specific moisture conditions on site.

We start with a visit to your home in Zeeland. We assess the moisture conditions with extra care and advise on the right system build-up for your situation.

We plan the execution in consecutive working days. We take the weather into account, as moisture and temperature affect the curing process. The result is a surface that lasts for years, even on the coast.
