What distinguished the application was the consistency of the continuous membrane — no variance in thickness, no cold joints. I've worked with four microcement contractors across Europe and the technical standard here was unambiguous. It read exactly as specified on the drawing.

We engaged Deco Preda across three floors of a mixed-use conversion in Brussels. The sequencing worked around our structural programme without a single delay caused on their end. The resin system in the lobby held colour specification to the RAL sample — which, frankly, I didn't expect at that scale.

I was hesitant — I'd seen microcement done badly before, that slightly plastic look. This is entirely different. The surface reads as mineral, not as coating. Six months on, not a hairline crack, not a stain. I find myself explaining it to everyone who comes through the door.

The stone carpet installation on the external terrace was technically demanding — a continuous fall with a concealed drainage channel and zero visible joint at the threshold. They documented every substrate check, sent EN compliance records without being asked. That level of process discipline is rare. We have since specified them for a second project in Geneva.

Contracting · Denmark

We brought them in as a specialist subcontractor on a bathroom package in Copenhagen — twelve units, tight programme, coordinating around tile setters and joinery. Communication was precise, scope handovers were clean and the snagging list was effectively zero. I would call them first for any future mineral surface specification.

They came recommended by our architect and the coordination between them was seamless. The microcement was applied over underfloor heating — they tested the substrate temperature at every stage, which I hadn't seen done before. The floor has been through a full winter cycle and behaves exactly as they said it would.

I specified a wet-area microcement system for a coastal house in West Cork — a notoriously demanding environment for any surface finish. The application report they submitted prior to install was more thorough than anything I had received from an Irish contractor. Two years later the surface is clean, sealed and exactly as intended.

The resin floor on our showroom in Antwerp had to land on a budget, on a timeline and to a specific tone — a warm mid-grey that couldn't read as cold under LED lighting. They produced three test panels before committing to batch production. The result was precisely the grey we were looking for. That kind of iteration before application is what separates a specialist from a general contractor.
