Concrete Countertops, Microcement Showers & Venetian Plaster in Calgary

What we build in Calgary

• Concrete countertops for kitchens, islands, bar tops, laundry rooms, and outdoor kitchens

• Concrete bathroom vanities & integrated sinks (single, double, trough)

• Microcement showers & wet rooms (walls, ceilings, niches, benches, curbs)

• Microcement washroom walls & floors for a continuous, low‑maintenance surface

• Venetian plaster for ensuites, powder rooms, feature walls, fireplaces & surrounds

• Concrete details: backsplashes, ledges, shelving, hearths, waterfall panels

Why concrete & mineral finishes (instead of tile)?

• Seamless & grout‑free look in showers and on walls

• Custom colours, textures, edge profiles, and integrated sink designs

• Thin yet durable: microcement adds ~2–3 mm while transforming walls/floors

• Built for wet zones: paired with the right waterproofing membrane and sealers

• Renewable: surfaces can be refreshed/resealed over time

Microcement for Calgary showers & washrooms

Microcement is a high‑performance, cement‑based micro‑coating troweled in thin layers to create a continuous, grout‑free surface. Ideal for showers, tub surrounds, walls, floors, and full wet rooms.
Finishes: natural trowel movement, smoother “clouded” looks, or lightly textured; matte‑to‑satin topcoats; slip‑resistant options for floors.
Our wet‑area system: substrate inspection → waterproofing membrane (as required) → priming & reinforcement mesh → base & finish coats → protective topcoat sealer.

Concrete countertops & integrated sinks

Our microcement showers in Calgary create a grout‑free, low‑maintenance surface on walls and ceilings. For vanities, our concrete countertops in Calgary with integrated concrete sinks deliver a contemporary, durable finish that coordinates with cabinetry and tile alternatives like Venetian plaster.

Design options: cast‑in‑place or precast; square/eased/chamfered edges; waterfall panels; light‑to‑warm greys with subtle or expressive movement; matte, satin, or polished finishes; optional light aggregate exposure.
Details: integrated drain boards, splash returns, ledges, backsplashes, matching floating shelves, and integrated concrete sinks (single/double/trough).
Care: food‑contact‑appropriate sealing options; clean with pH‑neutral products; use cutting boards & trivets; reseal per our care guide.

Venetian plaster (lime‑based, hand‑troweled)

Add depth and soft light play to ensuites, powder rooms, and feature walls. Choose fine Marmorino, smooth polished plaster, or a subtle stone‑like texture.
Use Venetian plaster in dry/low‑splash areas; choose microcement in fully wet zones (showers).

Colours, textures & coordination

We’ll build a cohesive palette across your home: a concrete island, a matching concrete/microcement vanity, and a Venetian plaster feature wall. We provide sample boards and on‑site mockups for key decisions (colour, sheen, texture, and edge profiles).

Permits (Calgary) & code notes

Changing or adding plumbing or gas typically requires a City of Calgary permit; homeowners can apply for plumbing permits, but gas permits must be pulled by a qualified pro. We’ll advise during estimating and coordinate required inspections. https://www.calgary.ca/+1

FAQs (add these to the page)

• Do microcement showers replace tile? Yes—when installed over the correct waterproofing system.

• Can microcement go over existing tile? Often, if the tile is solid and flat, in showers we still require a proper membrane.

• Concrete or microcement for a bathroom vanity top? Concrete for a thicker, sculpted look (and integrated sinks). Microcement for a thin, minimalist surface.

• Do I need permits for bathroom changes? Plumbing and gas alterations usually require permits in Calgary. We’ll advise based on scope. https://www.calgary.ca/+1

• Will these finishes crack? With proper prep/reinforcement/movement‑joint planning, hairline cracking is minimized.

• Cleaning? pH‑neutral cleaners; avoid harsh chemicals/abrasives.
