Microcement manufacturers in Elda since 2008
We are architects and manufacturers. We make TECNOCEMENTO®, a two‑component microcement, in Elda (Alicante, Spain), and we apply it on our own projects before teaching others to do it.
An honest material for an architecture without disguises
TECNOCEMENTO® is not just a product; it is rather an effort to communicate an idea that lies at the very centre of our emotions. It is an experience built around the material and the place where life happens, a way of interpreting and understanding that honesty and naturalness in the expression of the material we use are intimately linked to the way we relate to space.
Using microcement as a finish for floors and walls — recovering, rescuing a living element that lasts over time and evolves in its formal expression as the years go by — gives our design proposals the neutrality of what is simple, of the constant natural flow of our spaces.
The strength of its expression sums up the keys to understanding that beauty, technology and emotional involvement are part of the very discourse of architecture and of affection.
We never stop taking part in research to obtain new products, to improve them and bring them closer to excellence, to create new ways of clothing architecture under the banner of modernity and sustainability. All of it in order to build skills that turn conflicts into business opportunities.
We are architects, industrialists, managers of our own convictions… we are entrepreneurs of emotion, manufacturers of desire, distributors of our image, our quality and our architecture… we are the people of TECNOCEMENTO®… we believe ourselves to be deeply professional, qualified graduates at your service.
Here is the team that drives, develops and evolves this idea, so that you can count on us for whatever you need.
We make what we design and we apply what we make.
What is TECNOCEMENTO®
TECNOCEMENTO® is a two-component microcement: a seamless coating of cement and resin mixed on site, with a total thickness of 2 to 3 mm depending on the system.
It is applied over almost any substrate, including existing floors and tiles, without demolition. It needs no joints, so it allows large continuous surfaces. It works indoors and outdoors, in wet areas and in commercial premises.
It is laid by applicators trained and certified by TECNOCEMENTO®: that is how we guarantee the strength and finish of each system.

Products and systems we make
In Elda we manufacture three products with three different roles within each system.
- TECNOCEMENTO BASE®
Prepares: it is the layer before the final coating in all our systems.
- TECNOCEMENTO FINO®
Gives the finish on walls, ceilings and furniture.
- TECNOCEMENTO INDUSTRY®
Gives the finish on floors with heavy foot traffic.
With them we build the TECNOCEMENTO HOME®, TECNOCEMENTO PLUS®, TECNOCEMENTO IMPER®, TECNOCEMENTO INDUSTRY®, TECNOCEMENTO HIGH TRANSIT®, TECNOCEMENTO VINTAGE® and TECNOCEMENTO METALLIC® systems, each designed for a substrate and a use. Every product has its technical data sheet and every system its system sheet.
We also make CEMENTEC®, our ready to use microcement, for those who prefer a product with no mixing on site.
We make it, we test it, we apply it
We manufacture at the TECNOCEMENTO® facilities in Elda (Alicante). Almost every project you see on this website is our own work: we test on our own sites what we later teach.
There is no specific standard for microcement. That is why we test TECNOCEMENTO® to the standards for floor screeds (UNE-EN 13813 and the UNE-EN 13892 series), in an external laboratory (Applus+, 2011 and 2014), and publish the results.

We do not sell to anyone we have not trained
TECNOCEMENTO® reaches the site through applicators trained and certified by us. Since 2016 we have run more than 60 courses in Elda and on our clients' sites, and we have trained more than 500 applicators. That same year we opened a training room in Istanbul (Turkey).
We have distributors in several countries, including England; Greece and Canada are our strongest networks today.
A good finish breaks down like this:
- 40 %substrate
- 40 %applicator
- 20 %product
Frequently asked questions about TECNOCEMENTO®
Where is TECNOCEMENTO® made?
At the TECNOCEMENTO® facilities in Elda (Alicante, Spain), where we also run the application courses.
Are you manufacturers or applicators?
Both. We manufacture TECNOCEMENTO® and carry out our own projects, but most of the work is done by our network of certified applicators.
Can I buy TECNOCEMENTO® as a private customer?
Yes. If there is a TECNOCEMENTO® distributor in your area, the sale always goes through them; see our distributors. If there is none, write to us and we will tell you how.
How can I become a TECNOCEMENTO® applicator or distributor?
Start with the application course in Elda. After your first project, checked by one of our trainers, you receive your certification. Applicators with more experience can distribute in their area.
What is the difference between two-component and ready to use microcement?
They are the two product families we make. TECNOCEMENTO® is two-component: powder and resin mixed on site in the proportion set by each system. CEMENTEC® is ready to use.
What are the best microcement brands?
There is no best brand in the abstract. A good finish depends 40 % on the substrate, 40 % on the applicator and 20 % on the product, so what matters is that the manufacturer trains and certifies the people who lay it and tests the material on its own projects. That is what we do at TECNOCEMENTO®, and it is why we do not sell to applicators we have not trained.
Shall we talk?
If you are planning a project, we will find a certified applicator in your area. If you are an applicator or a distributor, we will tell you how to work with us.
