Microcement vs Epoxy — Choosing the Right Finish for Your Dubai Project
Both microcement and epoxy are seamless coatings used in modern construction — but they serve very different purposes. Let’s break down their strengths and ideal use cases.
Microcement
Natural, mineral-based feel
Matte, gloss or satin finish
Eco-friendly and VOC-free by default — part of our sustainability-first commitment at Dusk & Dune
Epoxy Resin
High-gloss synthetic finish
Strong chemical resistance
Best for industrial floors needing a harder coating
Typically contains high levels of VOCs, which may not be suitable for sensitive environments or homes
What Works Best Where?
Homes & Villas
Microcement for elegance and comfort
Warehouses & Labs
Epoxy for durability and high resistance
Retail & Hospitality
Microcement is increasingly preferred for its modern look, slip-resistant texture, and ease of maintenance
Outdoor Areas
Microcement is a strong performer in outdoor environments like terraces, patios, and pool surrounds — offering a weather-resistant, slip-resistant finish with elegant continuity from indoors to outdoors
