Concrete Microtopping
CONCRETE MICROTOPPING — ULTRA-THIN DECORATIVE COATING
Microtopping is an ultra-thin (1/16" to 1/8") polymer-modified cement coating that creates a smooth, modern surface over existing concrete. Applied in multiple thin coats with a trowel or squeegee, microtopping can be colored, stained, or scored for decorative effect. Popular for interior floors (retail, restaurants, residential), countertops, and exterior surfaces where a contemporary, smooth finish is desired. The thin application adds minimal height to the existing surface.
Starting at $4 per sq ft

FAQs About Concrete Microtopping
Can microtopping be applied over tile?
In some cases, yes — if the tile is firmly bonded and the surface is properly prepared (ground, primed). However, we generally recommend removing tile first for the best long-term bond. We'll assess your specific situation and provide an honest recommendation.
