Stairwell
/ 01
With microcement, the stairwell walls and sides become a unified, fluid form. Free of tile joints and interruptions, the stairs look lighter, calmer, and distinctly modern.
It is a thin mineral coating applied directly over existing surfaces. In light shades, it makes the stairwell bright and spacious; in dark ones – dramatic and expressive.

Where to use microcement on the stairs
Everywhere around the stairs – except for the stair tread itself.
The stair treads themselves are not covered in microcement – continuous foot traffic would wear it down over time. A more durable material is used for the treads, which pairs beautifully with the microcement sides and walls.
Where it works
- Stair sides and edges
- Vertical risers
- Stairwell walls
- Under-stair area and ceiling
- Ceiling
Where it does not work
- Stair tread – the walking surface
- Solution: wood, stone, or tiles
Sculptural effect
/ 03
Stairs as a sculpture
Microcement makes the stairs look like a single, seamless element crafted from one piece. The sides and walls flow together without joints, creating a calm, sculptural form that becomes the visual focal point of the room.
It pairs brilliantly with wood or stone treads and metal or glass railings – the matte mineral surface unites these materials in a contemporary language.
Light glides across the matte surface, bringing out the subtle shift in tones and adding depth to the stairwell.

Frequently asked questions
Can the stair treads themselves be covered in microcement?
Not the walking surface of the steps – continuous foot traffic would wear it down over time. The sides, vertical risers, and walls – yes. For the treads, wood, stone, or tiles are used, which pair beautifully with microcement.
Is it suitable for stairwell walls?
Yes, it is one of the best applications – a continuous, sculptural wall without joints that follows the line of the stairs.
Can it be applied over existing surfaces?
Yes. Over concrete, plasterboard, or tiles with 4170 decor primer – no demolition needed.
How to care for it?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. The smooth, seamless surface is easy to maintain.
How many shades are available?
10 factory-mixed shades – from light neutrals that expand the space to dramatic anthracite.
