Microcement is emerging as one of Australia's most sought-after surface finishes and according to industry experts, the grout-free, waterproof alternative is set to disrupt the way we finish our homes, particularly in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens.
Distributed exclusively in Australia by Render it Oz who is headed up by Master Artisan, Gorni Cahani, CimentArt microcement is already gaining traction with architects, designers and high-end renovators looking for seamless style, technical performance, and creative freedom.
"Designers are coming to us looking for something different, something more refined than concrete, more practical than tiles, and more luxurious than plaster."
"And our microcement product ticks every box. Once people see it in person, they don't want anything else."
Originally developed in Spain and engineered to meet Australian Standards, CimentArt offers a fully waterproof, grout-free surface with no visible joins, making it ideal for modern walk-in showers, full-height splashbacks, curved vanities, kitchen benchtops, and even stairs and floors.
It's not just about looks either, Cahani explains. "The hygiene benefits are a huge win too, no grout means no mould, no water seeping behind tiles, and very little maintenance. It's perfect for busy families and fuss-free living."
At just 2–3mm thick, the aqua quartz range can be applied over virtually any stable surface, including tiles, plasterboard, concrete, MDF, and even joinery, making it ideal for both new builds and renovations where budget and space are tight.
Its high flexibility and crack resistance also mean it performs exceptionally well where other cement-based coatings might fail.
"A lot of microcement on the market is hard to work with or prone to cracking," says Cahani. "CimentArt is a refined system with proprietary formulas that make it easy to apply, strong, and beautifully consistent in texture."
From soft organic textures to bold, industrial tones and trowelled marbling effects, the aqua quartz range offers designers and homeowners complete control over the final look.
"We've used it on everything from minimalist bathrooms in Torquay to high-traffic retail premises in Melbourne," Cahani adds. "It's versatile, but the real magic is the visual continuity it brings to spaces like walls, showers and benches, all flowing as one seamless design element."
As the licensed distributor nationwide, Gorni provides training and technical support for professionals who want to work with the product with an upcoming workshop scheduled in for mid July 2025.
"This is the future of surface finishes," says Cahani. "It's tactile, timeless, and endlessly customisable. We're proud to be leading the microcement movement here in Australia."
With its blend of luxury aesthetics, robust performance and practical installation, CimentArt microcement is fast becoming a go-to solution for designers who want to make a statement, without compromising on functionality.
