Microcement: The Modern Finish Taking Over Interior Design

When it comes to sleek, seamless, and sophisticated surfaces, microcement is quickly becoming a go-to solution in modern architecture and interior design. Originally used in industrial spaces, this versatile material has made its way into homes, showrooms, restaurants, and boutique hotels—and for good reason.

What Is Microcement?

Microcement is a polymer-modified cement-based coating applied in thin layers to walls, floors, ceilings, and even furniture. It can be installed over existing surfaces like tile, concrete, wood, or drywall, making it perfect for renovations or new builds. Once sealed, it becomes completely waterproof and highly durable, with a finish that resembles polished concrete but feels more refined and custom.

Why Is Microcement So Popular?

1. Seamless Aesthetic
   Microcement creates a smooth, continuous surface with no joints or grout lines. This clean, minimal look is a favorite in modern and contemporary design, making spaces feel larger and more open.

2. Customizable Finishes
   From matte to glossy, light to dark, or smooth to textured—microcement can be tailored to match any style. Whether you're aiming for an industrial loft vibe, a Mediterranean wash, or spa-like calm, microcement adapts effortlessly.

3. Versatility
   It’s not just for floors. Microcement can be used on walls, showers, countertops, stairs, fireplaces—even outdoor patios and pool decks. Its adaptability makes it a favorite for both residential and commercial projects.

4. Durable and Waterproof
   Once sealed, microcement is resistant to water, stains, and everyday wear. It’s perfect for high-traffic areas, kitchens, bathrooms, and even wet zones like showers.

5. Low Maintenance
   The smooth, non-porous surface makes cleaning easy. No grout lines mean no grime buildup—just a quick wipe and it’s good as new.

6. Eco-Friendly Option
   Because it’s applied in thin layers and often over existing materials, microcement reduces waste and demolition, making it a more sustainable option compared to other flooring or wall systems.

Why Metallic Epoxy Floors Are Hot Right Now?

When it comes to flooring that turns heads, metallic epoxy is leading the way in modern design. From luxury homes to high-end showrooms, this bold, glossy surface is showing up everywhere—and for good reason. Combining durability, style, and artistic flair, metallic epoxy floors offer a one-of-a-kind finish that stands out from traditional options like tile, wood, or polished concrete.

What Is Metallic Epoxy?

Metallic epoxy is a high-performance resin coating infused with metallic pigments. These pigments swirl and settle during application, creating fluid patterns that resemble molten metal, marble, lava, or clouds. Every floor is unique—no two installs ever look the same.

Why Everyone Wants It

1. Show-Stopping Appearance
   The depth, shimmer, and 3D effect of metallic epoxy create a luxurious, high-end look. It reflects light beautifully and adds an artistic, custom feel to any space—making it perfect for lobbies, showrooms, garages, and even living rooms.

2. Completely Custom Designs
   With countless color combinations and application techniques, metallic epoxy floors can be tailored to your exact vision. Want a sleek silver wave? A fiery copper swirl? Or a cool ocean blue with depth? It’s all possible.

3. Durability Meets Beauty
   Don’t let the glossy finish fool you—metallic epoxy is tough. It’s scratch-resistant, chemical-resistant, and holds up under heavy traffic. It’s a popular choice not just for its looks, but for long-lasting performance.

4. Low Maintenance
   Seamless and non-porous, these floors are easy to clean and resistant to staining. No grout lines, no sealing schedules—just a smooth surface that stays beautiful with minimal upkeep.

5. Fast and Efficient Installation
   When done by professionals, metallic epoxy can be installed quickly with minimal disruption, especially compared to tile or hardwood. Plus, it can often be applied over existing concrete, reducing demolition and waste.

Why Epoxy Flooring Is the Ultimate Choice for Any Space

When it comes to flooring, durability and design don’t always go hand in hand—but epoxy flooring offers the perfect blend of both. Whether it’s a residential home, commercial showroom, warehouse, or retail space, epoxy has quickly become one of the most popular and practical flooring options available today.

Here’s why epoxy isn’t just for garages anymore—it’s a smart, stylish solution for just about any floor.

1. Superior Durability

Epoxy creates a hard, protective surface that stands up to heavy traffic, equipment, and everyday wear and tear. It resists impacts, abrasions, and cracks far better than standard concrete or tile, making it ideal for everything from living rooms and kitchens to warehouses and gyms.

2. Seamless and Easy to Clean

Forget grout lines and dust traps—epoxy floors are completely seamless and non-porous, which means spills, dirt, and debris stay on the surface and wipe away easily. It’s a low-maintenance option for homes, commercial kitchens, hospitals, salons, and anywhere cleanliness matters.

3. Custom Design Options

Epoxy flooring isn’t one-size-fits-all. Choose from solid colors, quartz blends, flake systems, or stunning metallic epoxy for a high-end, marble-like look. With endless color and finish options, you can match your floor to your brand, home décor, or personal style.

4. Chemical and Stain Resistance

Epoxy stands up to oil, grease, cleaning agents, and even harsh chemicals—making it a favorite for garages, workshops, laboratories, and food prep areas. You won’t have to worry about permanent stains or surface damage.

5. Slip Resistance for Safety

Safety is a top priority in any space. Epoxy floors can be customized with anti-slip textures and additives, reducing the risk of slips and falls in wet or high-traffic areas like bathrooms, entryways, and warehouses.

6. Fast Installation with Long-Term Value

Professional epoxy installation is fast and efficient—especially when applied over existing concrete. Once cured, epoxy provides long-lasting performance and adds value to your property with its sleek, high-end finish.

The Perfect Floor, Anywhere

At Advance Epoxy, we install high-performance epoxy flooring across Oahu and all neighboring islands. From homes and retail stores to restaurants, showrooms, and industrial spaces, we help clients choose the perfect epoxy system for their needs—combining function, style, and expert craftsmanship.

Breathe New Life Into Old Concrete with Stained Finishes

If your concrete floors, patios, or driveways are starting to look tired, worn, or just plain dull—don’t rip them out. Stained concrete is one of the most cost-effective and visually striking ways to revive old concrete and give your space a fresh, modern look without a full renovation.

Whether it’s indoors or outdoors, residential or commercial, stained concrete transforms plain gray slabs into beautiful, durable surfaces full of character and depth.

What Is Stained Concrete?

Stained concrete involves applying specially formulated acid- or water-based stains to existing concrete surfaces. The stain penetrates the concrete and reacts with its natural components, creating rich tones, variegated colors, and even natural marbling. Every floor is unique, and the final look depends on the concrete’s age, texture, and original tone—adding charm and personality to each project.

Why It’s a Smart Solution

1. Cost-Effective Transformation
Instead of tearing out and replacing old concrete, staining allows you to refresh your space without the high cost of demolition and new materials. It's a great way to get a high-end look on a budget.

2. Endless Design Options
From earthy browns and warm ambers to cool grays, terra cottas, and even custom tints—stained concrete can match any style, from rustic to ultra-modern. Combine it with scoring, saw cuts, or stencils to mimic tile or stone patterns for added elegance.

3. Long-Lasting Beauty
Stained concrete doesn’t just sit on the surface—it penetrates the material, which means the color won’t chip, peel, or fade like paint. When sealed properly, it becomes even more resistant to stains, moisture, and foot traffic.

4. Low Maintenance
Once sealed, stained concrete is smooth, non-porous, and easy to clean. A quick sweep and mop are all it takes to keep it looking fresh and polished—no grout lines or special cleaners needed.

5. Ideal for Indoor and Outdoor Use
Stained concrete is just as beautiful on a living room floor as it is on a patio or lanai. It stands up to sun, rain, and foot traffic, making it an excellent option for Hawaii’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

Refresh Without Replacing

Whether you want a subtle wash of color or a dramatic statement floor, we’ll help you choose the right stain, finish, and sealer for your vision and lifestyle.
