Why Dusk & Dune Leads in Eco Microcement
While others offer eco options as an upgrade, Dusk & Dune makes it standard. Every microcement finish we install — whether for floors, walls, bathrooms or furniture — uses one of two cutting-edge systems:
EcoCemento®
A highly versatile eco-certified microcement designed for both vertical and horizontal surfaces. EcoCemento offers a wide range of finishes — from soft matte to elegant satin — and is ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, feature walls, and furniture. With natural depth, subtle texture, and full customisability in colour and tone, it delivers modern minimalism with maximum environmental responsibility.
Baxab® Eco
Our most durable option, Baxab Eco is engineered for high-traffic spaces, combining ultra-high performance with total environmental safety. It’s up to 3× stronger than conventional coatings — and ready for foot traffic in 24 hours.
And while we only use the best products, we remain one of the most competitively priced microcement installers in the GCC — offering 5-year warranties on installation.

FAQ's

-
Is microcement affected by chlorine or saltwater?Our system is resistant to both. With proper care and maintenance, microcement performs well in chlorinated or salt-treated pools.
-
Is microcement the same as micro concrete, microcrete or microtopping?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.

On what types of surfaces can microcement be applied?Different microcement products have their own limitations, but Dusk & Dune's microcements can go over almost any surface.

-
Can Microcement go over wood or parquet floors?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.
-
What can I use to apply over my stairs?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.
-
Which product can I use for an exterior surfaceAll 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.
-
Is microcement slip-resistantWhile 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
