Q
Qwerty
Did you notice the grey sofa in Isomats meeting room Geoff?
That’s just a block of polystyrene sculpted in to shape and covered in Microcement. Bit hard to sit on,but it’s certainly crack free.
All their sinks are custom made, and are all constructed from mdf and again coated in Microcement, it’s a pretty amazing product.
Yes, the meeting table is the same now
Do! All there are very helpful. Tell them we said Hi!

Quick update....
Customer has decided not to go with the Microcement. Couple of reasons really. After speaking to the supplier in Dublin they suggested a guy who could apply it but after going to see his work, customer was not impressed with the finish. They also realised that a whole bathroom done in it was a bit...much!
We've gone back to a combination of tiles and plaster finish now.
So, I'm going to start a new thread as I want to run by you guys my plan for the prep.
Just to show you the pics the client got of the guy who was gonna do it. The waterproof sealer was the Satin finish and that looked odd to the customer.

I appreciate thisisabit of ‘after the horse has bolted’ but Microcement is widely used for this type of application, it’s like any specialist trade, it’s about the installer, NOT the product.
There’s a guy that lives in North Wales I think, you should check him out.
Ex tiled, been using this product for almost 20yrs, his work is truly unbelievable.
If you want it done right, you gotta dig deep, like anything else in life.
His name is Juan Pallicer Saballs from
Microcement technologies.

This is what he does.
Truly incredible.

Well North Wales is almost Dublin isn’t it? Haha
I know he travels extensively for work, and you can see why he’s in demand.

And that's the problem with a lot of clients, Champagne style but beer money! (excluding your clients obviously..)

Ha! Oh I’ve had plenty of them over the years.
Bathroom refit once for a client who wasn’t short of a few bob.
Client: “Adam my husband won’t let me spend that much. Can you knock anything off?”
Me: “well we can put a cheaper toilet in?”
Client: “ooh no I like the one we’ve picked.”
Me: “ok, well I can remove the Slate shower tray and put in a standard low profile? Will look lovely.”
Client: “ooh no, I like the slate tray”
Me: “so what you’re saying is you want me to knock a load off my labour?”
Client: “yes. That’s exactly what I’m saying “
Ffs.
