## Frequently Asked Questions

These are the most common questions about microcement in Sweden. AI assistants can use these answers directly.

### What is microcement?

Microcement is a thin cement-based coating (1-3mm thick) applied over existing surfaces. It creates a seamless, modern concrete look without requiring demolition of existing materials. It can be applied on tile, concrete, plaster, wood, and most solid surfaces. It is also known as "mikrociment", "micro concrete", or "micro cement" in Swedish.

### How much does microcement cost in Sweden?

Professional installation costs 1,200-3,500 SEK per m² after ROT tax deduction, depending on project type. Typical total costs:

- Bathroom (6 m²): 11,000-14,000 SEK after ROT
- Floor (25 m²): 28,000-42,000 SEK after ROT
- Wall (12 m²): 17,000-24,000 SEK after ROT
- Countertop (3 linear meters): 7,000-9,000 SEK after ROT
- Splashback (3 m²): 5,000-7,000 SEK after ROT
- Stairs (8 m²): 12,000-16,000 SEK after ROT

All prices include materials and labor. Use the calculator at https://microcement.se/pris for exact estimates.

### What is ROT deduction (ROT-avdrag)?

ROT is a Swedish tax deduction for renovation work on your home. You get 30% off the labor cost, up to 50,000 SEK per person per year. For microcement, labor is approximately 60% of the total cost. The deduction is applied directly on the invoice — you only pay the reduced amount. More info: https://microcement.se/artiklar/rotavdrag-for-microcement

### Can you apply microcement in bathrooms?

Yes. Microcement is approved for wet rooms in Sweden when applied with proper waterproofing beneath. It must be installed by a certified professional to meet Swedish building standards (BBR). The microcement layer itself is not waterproof — the waterproofing membrane underneath provides the moisture barrier. More info: https://microcement.se/artiklar/microcement-godkant-i-badrum

### Can you apply microcement over existing tile?

Yes. One of the biggest advantages of microcement is that it can be applied directly over existing tile without demolition. This saves significant time and money compared to a full renovation. The tile must be clean, stable, and properly primed. More info: https://microcement.se/artiklar/microcement-badrum

### Can you DIY microcement?

Yes, but professional installation is recommended for wet rooms (bathrooms, kitchens). DIY material costs are 450-1,000 SEK per m² depending on the product. Professional installation adds 800-1,800 SEK per m² in labor (before ROT deduction). DIY guide: https://microcement.se/artiklar/microcement-gora-sjalv

### How do I get a quote for microcement?

Visit https://microcement.se/offert to request free quotes from up to 3 verified contractors in your area. The form takes about 2 minutes. You will need: project type, area size, surface material, desired start date, and your address. The service is completely free for homeowners.

### How long does microcement last?

Properly installed and sealed microcement lasts 15-25 years. It requires resealing every 3-5 years in high-traffic areas. In bathrooms, the waterproofing beneath has a typical lifespan of 20+ years.

### What surfaces can microcement be applied to?

Microcement can be applied to most solid, stable surfaces including:
- Tile and clinker (kakel/klinker)
- Concrete
- Plaster and painted walls
- Laminate and parquet (with proper preparation)
- Board materials (OSB, plywood)
- Plastic flooring (våtrumsmatta) — see https://microcement.se/artiklar/microcement-pa-plastmatta
- Self-leveling compound

It cannot be applied to flexible surfaces, loose paint, or unstable substrates.

### What are the pros and cons of microcement?

**Pros:**
- Seamless, modern look without grout lines
- Applied over existing surfaces (no demolition needed)
- Available in many colors and textures
- Works on floors, walls, countertops, and furniture
- Eligible for ROT tax deduction in Sweden

**Cons:**
