microcement
Concrete-Inspired. Refined by Hand.
A contemporary mineral plaster finish that captures the understated character of concrete through subtle tonal movement and a refined, matte appearance.
Applied by hand, Muralis Microcement creates continuous-looking architectural surfaces with the depth and individuality of traditional plaster craftsmanship.
THE ART OF MICROCEMENTMinimal in Appearance.
Rich in Detail.
Inspired by the quiet strength of concrete, Muralis Microcement brings a contemporary material expression to interior architectural surfaces.
Formulated with hydrated lime, white cement, selected aggregates, and performance modifiers, this decorative mineral plaster combines the visual character of concrete with the subtle variations of a hand-applied finish.
Applied in carefully worked layers using traditional troweling techniques, the material develops natural surface movement and tonal depth. An optional matte acrylic-siloxane color wash can further refine its appearance, creating a cohesive, understated finish.
The result is a surface that feels architectural in its simplicity and distinctive in its detail.
MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICSA Different Kind of Surface
Microcement brings together contemporary material expression, handcrafted texture, and a refined architectural aesthetic.
Concrete-Look Character
A mineral-based decorative finish that recreates the understated appearance of concrete without relying on conventional concrete construction.
Hand-Troweled Texture
Applied in two coats, with customizable surface movement shaped by the artisan's technique.
Matte Mineral Appearance
An optional acrylic-siloxane color wash enhances the matte effect and allows for additional tonal variation.
Architectural Continuity
Creates continuous-looking decorative surfaces that complement minimalist interiors and material-driven spaces.
Considered Material Composition
A lime/cement-based plaster supported by life-cycle assessment documentation developed using ISO 14040/14044 methodology.
THE MICROCEMENT COLOR COLLECTIONColor in Its Purest Form
A considered palette of mineral-inspired shades designed to complement the understated character of microcement. From warm neutrals and soft earth tones to deeper, more architectural colors, each shade takes on a distinctive expression through the material's texture, application, and relationship with light.

Interior architectural surfaces
04 MC10 MCTECHNICAL OVERVIEW05 MC11 MC06 MC12 MCSUITABLE SUBSTRATESMuralis Microcement is intended for appropriately prepared architectural surfaces, particularly interior walls where a continuous, concrete-inspired appearance is desired.
Substrates must be sound, stable, clean, and properly prepared before application. Surface preparation and primer requirements should be determined according to the substrate and specified finishing system.
Exterior applications require an appropriate protective system and manufacturer approval. Suitability for wet areas, floors, and other specialized applications must be confirmed separately.
ENVIRONMENTAL CREDENTIALSMuralis Microcement is supported by life-cycle assessment (LCA) documentation developed using ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 methodology, providing a framework for evaluating the material's environmental impacts throughout its life cycle.
This documentation supports informed material selection for projects with environmental performance objectives. It should not be interpreted as an independent sustainability certification or proof of compliance with specific green building rating systems.
BEYOND THE PALETTEMade to Match Your Vision
The most considered spaces are built around materials that work together.
Beyond our standard color collection, Muralis offers custom color and texture development to complement the architectural direction of each project.
Whether matching an existing material palette, exploring a specific mineral tone, or refining the level of surface movement, our team works closely with designers and architects to develop a finish that feels cohesive with its surroundings.
THE APPLICATIONPrecision in
Every Layer
The simplicity of microcement is achieved through a highly considered application process.
Each layer is applied and refined by hand, with careful attention to surface preparation, texture, movement, and the desired final appearance.
The angle and pressure of the trowel, the way the material is worked, and the finishing technique all influence the character of the surface.
At Muralis, craftsmanship is expressed through precision and restraint, creating continuous-looking finishes that complement the architecture without competing with it.
residential interiors
Create cohesive, understated walls and architectural features that complement contemporary living spaces.
hospitality
Introduce refined material character to hotels, restaurants, lounges, and other hospitality environments.
commercial spaces
Bring a clean, architectural aesthetic to reception areas, offices, retail environments, and shared spaces.
Designed for Contemporary Spaces
With its refined, continuous appearance, microcement offers a versatile aesthetic for interiors where material continuity and architectural simplicity are central to the design.
EXPERIENCE THE FINISHSee the Texture.
Feel the Difference.
The character of microcement is revealed in the details.
Subtle tonal movement, fine surface variations, and the way light interacts with the finish are best appreciated in person.
Muralis offers physical color and texture samples upon request, allowing architects, designers, and clients to evaluate the material alongside their project's lighting, palette, and surrounding finishes.
