Two very different answers to the same question — how do you finish a wet room without visual noise.
Tile is a grid. However fine the grout, the eye reads a repeating unit. Microcement is a single continuous plane, poured and troweled across walls, floors, hobs and shelves without interruption.
That distinction is not aesthetic alone — it changes how the room feels. A microcement bathroom reads as one carved volume. A tiled bathroom reads as a room of surfaces.
When tile is still the right answer
Handmade zellige, Japanese lava tile, honed marble slabs — tile becomes the design when the tile itself is the object worth showing. In those cases we specify tile without hesitation.
Where the brief is quiet, monolithic, and sculptural — a wet room, a powder room, a spa — microcement wins. It is the finish that lets the architecture speak.
