Bathroom Design Cement
Why using microcement and concrete in the bathroom is a great idea
Architectural concrete seems to have been created for use in the bathroom. It will successfully replace the tiles, it is also much cheaper and easier to install than natural stone. You can choose from architectural concrete slabs, cast tops and washbasins, or claddings of walls and microcement floors, and more recently – concrete interior design accessories such as e.g. soaps dishes. We're explaining why using microcement and concrete in the bathroom is such a good idea. Keep on reading.
Microcement bathroom: walls and floor
For some time on the microcement has been reigning in the interior design as the hottest bathroom trend. Among its advantages (in addition to its stylish appearance) we can mention durability, ease of application and cleanliness – there are no joints and the surface is smooth, so that no dirt and soap deposits are collected. What is more, the sealed microcement is completely waterproof, so it can be used in shower cabins and for finishing off line drains.
Here you can find most frequently asked questions about the microcement in the bathroom.
Australian architect Matt Woods has been specializing in architecture inspired by industrialism and brutalism for years. In this bathroom, he proposed a monochrome palette of colors based on gray and black, complementing it with fittings and golden hangers.
The bathroom in the luxurious Manzoni restaurant in Milan was designed by Tom Dixona, a British industrial designer, one of the most interesting figures in European design. When creating designs, inspired by factory rawness, Dixon primarily uses concrete, stone, metal and glass. The cool color tone is often broken by the warmth of brass and gold, as is the case with this bathroom.
Minimalism reigns in this spacious and bright bathroom. Thanks to the use of microcement on the walls and floor, a smooth, elegant jointless surface was obtained, which is an ideal background for heavily trimmed equipment. The center of the bathroom is a free-standing white bathtub, and the only additions are a wooden table and a hanger and a set of three hanging lamps. Project: Honey and Spice (Germany)
