Allover vs. Continuo Micro-Cement: What’s the Difference and Which Should You Choose?

If you love that modern, seamless look for your floors or walls, you’ve probably come across Continuo Micro-cement as a popular finish sold by The Decora Company. But here’s the thing: while micro-cement has earned its place in design circles, our new product, Allover, offers all the beauty with a lot more ease.

1. Application Time and Simplicity

• Micro-cement: Requires multiple components, careful mixing, and a skilled hand. Prep work can be time-consuming, especially if you need to level or repair the substrate.

• Allover: It’s a ready-to-use, single-component system. No complicated prep, no fussy layering. You can apply it directly over tiles, plaster, or screeds, saving time and labor.

2. Finish Options

• Micro-cement: Offers a beautiful, industrial-style finish but can sometimes look too raw or harsh in softer interior spaces.

• Allover: Gives you full control over the texture and finish. Whether you want something smooth and minimal or with a bit of decorative flair, Allover delivers.

3. Durability & Maintenance

• Micro-cement: Durable, yes, but often needs sealing and can be more prone to hairline cracks over time.

• Allover: Designed for scratch, stain, and water resistance, plus it includes a protective topcoat. That means less upkeep and longer-lasting beauty even in high-traffic or wet areas.

4. Thickness & Weight

• Micro-cement: Typically around 3–5mm thick.

• Allover: Just 2mm thick, which makes it lighter and easier to apply in more places like ceilings or over furniture.

5. Indoor Air Quality

• Micro-cement: Composition may vary by brand.

• Allover: Certified A+ for indoor air comfort, making it a great choice for residential and wellness spaces.

So, Which Should You Choose?

If you’re after a high-performance coating that’s easy to apply, flexible in design, and kind to your indoor air quality, Allover is a smart, modern upgrade. It gives you all the beauty of micro-cement, with way less stress.

If you’re a designer, a DIY renovator, or just someone who loves beautiful interiors, Allover gives you the freedom to create seamless, stylish surfaces that stand up to daily life.
