Microcement Flooring in Kansas City, KS/MO and the Surrounding Metro

Microcement looks straightforward in photos. Most failures happen when the system is treated as if it were. The system is a thin, hand-applied, cement-based floor finish built up in multiple coats over a prepared substrate. There are no grout lines, no joints, and no visual breaks. The result is a continuous architectural surface used in modern homes, bathrooms, retail spaces, and hospitality interiors where the floor reads as one quiet plane underfoot.

Whether you are designing a new home, renovating a bathroom, refreshing a retail space, or finishing a hospitality project in Kansas City, Overland Park, Lenexa, Olathe, Lee’s Summit, or Lawrence, KS, Select Coatings applies microcement when the goal is a clean, continuous look without grout lines or elevation changes.

What Microcement Adds to Your Space

Microcement is not chosen for flash. It is chosen for control and continuity. The floor disappears as a feature and lets the rest of the space, the cabinetry, the lighting, the materials, do the work. The floor becomes the quiet foundation under everything else, not the loud focal point.

Here’s what microcement gives you:

Microcement reads as one soft, continuous mineral surface with subtle trowel movement and tonal depth. It is the finish chosen for modern homes, bathrooms, retail, and hospitality interiors, where the floor and walls are meant to feel calm and intentional rather than busy.

With no grout lines, microcement removes the most common failure point in tiled bathrooms and showers. We spec a sealer rated for water exposure and continuous wear, and we can build in the right level of traction for a bathroom floor so the surface stays safe underfoot.

Microcement is built up in multiple thin coats just a few millimeters thick. It goes over your existing floors, walls, and stairs without raising heights, so doors, thresholds, and transitions stay where they are.

Applied over existing tile, concrete, or worn flooring, microcement covers dated, stained, or mismatched surfaces with one continuous finish, so you update the look without tearing out what is already there.

Reads as one continuous textured surface across the entire slab without visible seams, joints, or color breaks where one section was patched or repaired previously.

The same microcement finish carries across horizontal and vertical surfaces, so a floor can continue up a shower wall, across a vanity, or up a staircase as one uninterrupted material. That continuity is what makes the space read as designed rather than assembled.

Choose from neutral tones that work with most landscape and architecture styles, plus modern greys and warmer earth tones depending on the look you want.

The sealer controls the final reflectivity. Matte reads as natural raw stone. Low-sheen adds subtle protection and slight reflection without making the surface look glossy or wet.

Define spaces, add visual interest, or break up large slab areas with custom borders and patterns that take the floor beyond a single uniform field of color.

Microcement is applied over your existing substrate, so there is no demolition, no hauling out old tile or flooring, and far less debris and downtime than a full tear-out and replacement.

Get the Facts: Microcement Flooring FAQs

Homeowners, designers, and commercial property owners across the Kansas City Metro asked these questions about microcement flooring. Here are the answers.

Microcement is a polymer-modified cement overlay applied by hand in multiple thin coats over a prepared substrate. The system is just a few millimeters thick. It produces a seamless, continuous surface with no grout lines, no joints, and no visual breaks. After application, the surface is sealed for stain protection and durability. Microcement is used on floors, walls, stairs, bathrooms, kitchens, and feature areas where a clean, modern look is the design goal.

Pricing depends on square footage, substrate condition, the prep work required, the number of coats, the color and finish selected, the sealer specification, and the experience level needed for the application. Microcement is hand-applied artisan work, which makes it more expensive per square foot than production coatings. Select Coatings provides free onsite estimates so the number you see is built around your specific project, not a generic per-square-foot rate.

Polished concrete relies on the slab itself. The slab is mechanically ground through finer and finer grits and chemically densified to create gloss and durability. Microcement is the opposite approach. It is a thin overlay applied on top of the existing surface. The look is controlled by the applicator, not the slab. Polished concrete is industrial and slab-driven. Microcement is design-driven and surface-focused. Different goals, different systems.

Yes. Microcement is widely used in bathrooms, showers, kitchens, and wet areas because it eliminates grout lines, which are the most common failure point in tiled surfaces. The sealer specification matters more in wet areas than anywhere else. We use sealers rated for water exposure and continuous wear, and we walk you through the maintenance schedule that keeps the floor performing in those conditions.

Service life depends on the substrate quality, the applicator experience, the sealer chosen, the traffic level, and the maintenance program. Properly applied microcement in a residential interior can last well over a decade. Wet areas and high-traffic commercial spaces benefit from periodic resealing to extend service life. Failures typically come from skipped substrate prep, unaddressed moisture, or the wrong sealer for the application.

If you need a high-gloss mirror finish, heavy industrial chemical resistance, or aggressive slip-resistant texture, microcement is not the right system. It is a decorative architectural finish, not an industrial coating. Garage floors with hot tire pickup, manufacturing floors with chemical exposure, or commercial kitchens with extreme thermal cycling need different systems. We will tell you that during the estimate.

There will be variation. Microcement is hand-applied. Subtle tonal differences, texture, and trowel patterns are part of the finish. This is not a defect. It is the design. If you are looking for a machine-perfect, factory-uniform surface, microcement is not the right system. The natural variation is exactly what makes the floor read as architectural rather than manufactured.
