Microcement for Outdoor Surfaces in Dubai

While most microcements on the market are not suitable for exterior applications, our system is designed for extreme heat, UV exposure, and humidity. We use flexible base layers and UV-resistant sealers.

No — when applied correctly over a stable base, microcement performs exceptionally well outdoors, even with temperature variation.

No. While our microcement is suitable for wet floors, our sealers can even be adjusted with anti-slip aggregate for zones like pool decks, steps, or sloped walkways.

Different microcement products have their own limitations, but Dusk & Dune's microcements can go over almost any surface. The general rule is: as long as it's smooth, solid & stable, microcement can go over it! But be sure to use the right brand, and the right installer!

Yes — microcement is ideal for resurfacing balconies, terraces, and patios without the need to demolish what’s underneath.

Yes, Dusk & Dune provides a 5 year warranty on the product, and the installation. In that time, If there are any defaults caused by either, then it will be repaired for free. However, if there are issues caused from the substrate or environment, that would be covered in our warranty.

Very little. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a neutral pH cleaner is all that’s required.

Due to wood being an organic product, it flexes and contracts with temperature, creating an unstable foundation for microcement to be applied to, therefore unfortunately it's one of the very few substrates that it cannot be installed over.

These terms are often used interchangeably, but they’re not always the same. At Dusk & Dune, we use true microcement — a thin, polymer-modified cement coating designed for seamless decorative finishes. Some products labelled micro concrete, microcrete, or microtopping may differ in thickness, flexibility, or application methods. If you’re unsure, we’ll be happy to guide you on the right material for your project.

Any of Dusk & Dune's microcements are an option for application over stairs. However, it's usually recommended to use our strongest range - Baxab Eco, due to it being an area that goes through more knocks than perhaps some other parts of a project.

All D&D microcements can be installed on exterior surfaces, provided precautions are taken to properly waterproof the bases where the coatings are applied. With these measures plus a correct planimetry, rising damp and accumulations of water on the surface are avoided. Remember, our microcement is completely UV protected, so sunlight won't damage or affect the colour.

While different microcements vary in their slip ratings, Dusk & Dune's microcements are all commercially viable due to it's fantastic slip reports, taken by third party's. We can even add an aggregate to the final layer, which send the resistance sky-high, but this generally isn't necessary at all

The microcement we use, along with the highly skilled installers we have to hand, mean that we know precisely how to install over tiles, knowing which precautions to take in order to ensure you don't have to worry about the costs for demolition & disposal of the existing tiles. Saving you an incredible amount of money if you're doing a renovation!

Microcement can last well over our 5 year warranty period if taken care of correctly. We have maintenance packages as well for commercial projects if necessary. Go to our downloads page and check out the maintenance manual for more info

Normal microcement products are not suitable for swimming pools or areas in constant contact with water. However, D&D has Topcret's T/Swim range - a product that has been specially made for such occasions.
