Description
Cement 4 – Microcement in Dark Concrete Grey
Concrete with edge
Cement 4 microcement is a dark concrete shade with clear presence: bold, layered and refined. The colour evokes industrial architecture, yet is crisply finished for living and working spaces.
It remains recognisably concrete with a handcrafted texture. C4 is darker than the mid-tones, without moving towards black. Just 1–2 mm thin, applicable after preparation over existing substrates. Maximum impact, minimal thickness.

Frequently asked questions about Cement 4 microcement
Is Cement 4 too dark for living spaces?
Use warm lighting and light-coloured walls. Wood and linen soften the overall effect and keep the space inviting.
Which materials combine well with Cement 4?
Wood, travertine and linen work excellently. Matt black or stainless steel reinforces the industrial effect.
Does Cement 4 work with underfloor heating?
Yes. The thin, seamless layer responds quickly and distributes heat evenly.
Can Cement 4 be applied over tiles?
Yes. Thanks to the minimal layer thickness, it is suitable for renovation. Level tiles with Stucopaste for a flat result.
How do I prevent shiny patches?
Use mild, pH-neutral cleaners and lukewarm water. Felt pads under furniture prevent scratches and shine formation.
What is the best choice for a shower floor?
Microcement with PU topcoat is waterproof and suitable for bathrooms. For intensive shower floors, Lavasteen Seamless Floor is the more durable option.
