Microcement has transformed modern interiors across Ireland. Seamless bathrooms, continuous floors, spa-style wet rooms — all without grout lines or tile joints.
But let’s answer the question clearly:
Is microcement 100% waterproof?
When installed as a complete reinforced system — yes, it is.
At Concrete Fair, we install Forcrete, a fully waterproof micro-quartz system engineered for residential and commercial environments.
There is no partial waterproofing.
There are no vulnerable layers.
The system is waterproof from base to finish.
Forcrete is not a decorative skim coat.
It is a structured, multi-layer build-up designed to create a fully sealed surface throughout.
The system includes:
Substrate preparation
Bonding primer
Reinforced base coats
Integrated waterproof membrane layer
Micro-quartz build coats
Fine finish coat
Multi-layer protective sealers
Each layer works together as one continuous waterproof system.
There are no grout joints.
No silicone seams.
No weak points.
Once complete, the surface becomes a continuous waterproof shell.
Forcrete is suitable for:
Walk-in showers
Wet rooms
Bathroom walls
Bathroom floors
Spa areas
Commercial washrooms
Hospitality projects
The sealed surface prevents water penetration while maintaining breathability and flexibility for modern buildings.
Ireland’s climate demands reliable building systems.
Humidity, temperature variation and structural movement require finishes that are both durable and flexible.
Forcrete’s reinforced structure ensures:
Crack resistance
Long-term durability
Waterproof performance
Stability over underfloor heating
It is engineered for Irish residential and commercial construction.
Traditional tiles rely on:
Grout
Silicone
Movement joints
These are maintenance points and potential failure areas over time.
A Forcrete installation removes those weaknesses entirely.
The result:
A fully seamless finish
100% waterproof protection
Minimal maintenance
A calm, natural aesthetic
Architects and designers are increasingly specifying seamless systems for:
High-end new builds
Renovations
Retreat centres
Retail environments
Contemporary hospitality spaces
Forcrete delivers both design flexibility and performance assurance.
When installed correctly as a complete system, microcement is 100% waterproof.
Not surface-resistant.
Not “water tolerant.”
Fully waterproof.
At Concrete Fair, we approach every project with technical precision and design focus — ensuring the finish performs as beautifully as it looks.
We are based in Clonmel and work nationwide.
