Discover the endless possibilities of X-Bond Microcement with expert installation.
X-Bond is a type of microcement. If you’re new here or you’ve never come across the term, microcement is a thin surface overlay (consisting of cement and a liquid polymer) that’s hand-trowelled over an existing substrate to create a concrete aesthetic. With microcement we can make anything look like concrete; from floors to walls, ceilings and furniture — but it doesn’t end there. Our X-Bond range includes four different texture finishes in 10 standard colours and the possibility to create custom shades so you can achieve endless design outcomes.
It has been tried, tested and loved in projects throughout Australia for more than 25 years, a world-first product remaining among the most versatile and durable microcement surface overlays on the market — with the longest standing history. Learn more about what makes X-Bond the best microcement.
