Question 1

What is microcement and how is it different from polished concrete?

Accepted Answer

Microcement is a 2–3 mm cementitious-polymer coating applied over existing surfaces (tiles, screed, plasterboard) to create a seamless, joint-free finish. Polished concrete is a slab-thickness substrate ground and sealed in place. Microcement adds no structural load and can be applied during a renovation; polished concrete is typically a new-build decision.

Question 2

How much does microcement cost in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on substrate condition, square metres, finish (matte vs gloss), and whether walls or pool surfaces are involved. As a rough guide, residential floors start from a Dubai-market range that we share after a site visit. Use our Get a Quote form for an exact assessment.

Question 3

Is microcement waterproof for bathrooms and pools?

Accepted Answer

Yes — our Rynova X Pava systems include hydrophobic micro-resin formulations specifically engineered for wet zones (Idropol 200 Opaco, Idropol 80 Lucido Satinato) and pools (PavaPool). All wet-zone applications use a multi-layer build with a final waterproof sealer.

Question 4

Where in the UAE do you install?

Accepted Answer

We install across the UAE — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, and Fujairah — and deliver to wider GCC projects on request. Our application teams are based in the UAE.

Question 5

How long does installation take?

Accepted Answer

A typical residential floor (~30 sqm) takes 5–7 working days, including surface preparation, primer, base layer, finish layer, and sealing. Larger projects scale linearly.

Question 6

Can microcement be applied over existing tiles?

Accepted Answer

Yes — microcement bonds directly to ceramic, porcelain, and stone tiles provided the surface is structurally sound, clean, and properly primed. This is one of its biggest advantages: no tile-removal demolition, no structural load addition, and no increase in floor height beyond ~3 mm.

Question 7

Does microcement crack?

Accepted Answer

Pava Resine microcement systems include polymer-reinforced formulations that flex with the substrate and resist hairline cracking. Correct surface preparation (including expansion joint bridging) and our multi-layer application protocol prevent the cracking issues associated with standard cement screeds.

Question 8

What colours are available for microcement in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Rynova offers microcement in over 60 standard colours, from warm beiges and raw-concrete greys to bold charcoals and custom tints. We provide 48-hour physical samples matched to your chosen finish so you can review the exact colour in your lighting conditions before work begins.

Question 9

Is microcement suitable for Dubai's outdoor climate?

Accepted Answer

Yes — our outdoor systems are formulated for UV resistance, salt-air exposure, and temperatures that regularly exceed 40°C. We use specific UV-stable sealers and topcoats rated for the Gulf climate, and all outdoor applications receive an anti-slip additive as standard.

Question 10

How do you clean and maintain microcement floors?

Accepted Answer

Daily maintenance requires only a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid acidic or abrasive products. We reseal residential floors every 3–5 years depending on traffic; commercial floors typically require resealing every 2–3 years. Our team provides a full aftercare guide with every installation.
