Why Choose Forcrete? The Seamless Surface for Modern Irish Interiors

Feb 18, 2026 / Written By Marie Hally

At Concrete Fair, we are proud to introduce Forcrete — a high-performance, seamless microcement system designed for contemporary residential and commercial interiors across Ireland.

As designers and homeowners move away from grout lines, busy tiles and fragmented finishes, the demand for clean, continuous surfaces has never been stronger. Forcrete delivers exactly that.

What Is Forcrete?

Forcrete is a multi-layer microcement system applied by hand over existing substrates to create a durable, fully sealed, decorative surface.

It can be installed over:

  • Existing concrete

  • Tiles

  • Sand/cement screeds

  • Plasterboard walls

  • Timber substrates (correctly prepared)

The result? A smooth, seamless, modern finish with no joints, no grout lines and no visual interruptions.

Why We’re Focusing on Forcrete Floors

We are currently placing a strong emphasis on Forcrete as a flooring solution, and here’s why:

1. 100% Waterproof System

When correctly installed and sealed, Forcrete is fully waterproof — making it ideal for:

  • Bathrooms

  • Wet rooms

  • Utility spaces

  • Open-plan kitchen/living areas

Unlike tiles, there are no grout joints to discolour, crack or fail over time.

2. Seamless Aesthetic

Forcrete creates a calm, architectural surface.
It works beautifully in:

  • Minimalist interiors

  • Contemporary renovations

  • Period properties with modern extensions

  • Commercial spaces such as retail and hospitality

The finish is design-led yet understated.

3. Low Build-Up Thickness

Typically installed at just 3-4mm thickness, Forcrete can be applied over existing finishes — reducing demolition, waste and programme time.

4. Durability

Forcrete is impact-resistant, hard-wearing and suitable for high-traffic environments. Proper substrate preparation and system build-up are key — and this is where professional installation matters.

Colour, Texture & Specification

Forcrete offers a curated palette of contemporary tones — from soft neutrals to deeper architectural shades.

As installers, we can also work with designers to:

  • Match specific design briefs

  • Coordinate with RAL references

  • Provide large-format samples for review

We understand specification language, detailing and on-site coordination — making the process smoother for architects and interior designers.

Why Choose Concrete Fair as Your Installer?

Forcrete is not a DIY product. It is a technical, layered system that relies on:

  • Correct substrate preparation

  • Moisture assessment

  • Reinforcement where required

  • Proper curing times

  • Professional sealing

At Concrete Fair, we bring years of experience working with architectural concrete finishes and understand the importance of detail, programme and finish quality.

We are currently producing new large-format samples and expanding our showroom offering to allow designers and clients to view the system properly before specification.

Design-Led. Durable. Seamless.

Forcrete is more than a finish — it’s a surface solution for modern Irish interiors.

If you’re an architect, interior designer or homeowner considering a seamless alternative to tiles or traditional flooring, we’d be delighted to discuss your project.
