Micro concrete: when boutique rhymes with chic
Marius Aurenti’s micro concrete is particularly popular in fashion boutiques and home decoration stores.
Its ease of installation and ability to cover old, sound floors means that site times are short and clean.
In trendy design boutiques, its contemporary look sets the tone, in line with the collections on display.
The qualities of concrete on floors and walls
On floors in high-traffic areas, micro concrete will develop a patina over time but will not be damaged. Its mechanical strength enables it to retain its smooth appearance and unique texture despite repeated and sometimes careless use.
MA’s protective waxes and varnishes reinforce this resistance and enhance the material’s long-lasting beauty. Marius Aurenti smooth micro concrete is guaranteed for 15 years without cracking.
On walls, micro concrete creates smooth, clean surfaces that are a perfect visual match for floors, for a perfectly harmonious finish.
