Why SEMCO X-Bond Microcement?
The Modern Surface Solution for Luxury Properties
Microcement is a polymer-modified cement coating applied in ultra-thin layers to create seamless, waterproof surfaces on virtually any substrate. Unlike traditional materials, it bonds at the molecular level—delivering the European aesthetic you've admired in luxury properties worldwide, engineered specifically for extreme climates.
The Product Story
SEMCO developed the first modern microcement system in the United States in 1995. For three decades, SEMCO X-Bond has been engineered, manufactured, and refined in Las Vegas, Nevada—delivering proven performance in demanding environments from coastal resorts to high-traffic commercial spaces. It’s even lined the bottom of the Bellagio Fountain in Vegas for 25 years.
Unlike surface adhesion systems, X-Bond creates a molecular bond with substrates. This chemical bonding technology prevents delamination even as buildings naturally shift and settle—critical in coastal environments with temperature swings and high humidity. X-bond offers the ideal balance of strength and flexibility that delivers surfaces built to last.
SEMCO X-Bond brings American manufacturing quality without tariffs or overseas shipping delays. You get the seamless aesthetic with the reliability of U.S.-made materials and local technical support.
Key Benefits
100% Waterproof
When paired with SEMCO Liquid Membrane, creates a completely waterproof system for showers, pools, and wet areas. No grout lines to trap moisture or harbor mildew.
Seamless Finish
Continuous surfaces from floor to wall to ceiling with no grout lines, no joints, no visual interruption. The aesthetic you've seen in European luxury properties.
Apply Over Existing Surfaces
Bonds to tile, concrete, wood, drywall, stone, and metal. Renovate without demolition—saving time, money, and disruption.
Ultra-Thin Application
Only 1/8" (3mm) thick. Preserves room dimensions, eliminates door threshold issues, and adds negligible weight to structures.
Maintenance-Free Durability
10+ years with no resealing, waxing, or special treatments. Resists salt air, UV exposure, and coastal humidity. Clean with standard pH-neutral cleaners.
Coastal Engineered
Molecularly bonded system flexes with substrate movement from temperature and humidity changes. Won't crack, delaminate, or yellow.

Outdoor Living
Patios, outdoor kitchens, walkways - UV stable and weather resistant
Custom Features
Furniture, fireplaces, built-ins - bespoke surfaces for unique design
Why Microcement Outperforms Traditional Materials
Architects and designers have long compromised between aesthetics and performance.
Microcement eliminates that trade-off.
vs. Tile & Grout
Grout absorbs 10-15% moisture by weight - constant mildew breeding ground in Gulf Coast humidity
Requires regrouting every 5-7 years
Demolition creates weeks of disruption and tons of landfill waste
Seamless floor-to-wall transitions physically impossible with tile
vs. Venetian Plaster
Water-based plasters degrade within 3-5 years in wet coastal environments
Requires annual resealing at $3-5/sq ft to prevent moisture damage
Cracks and delaminates as buildings shift - no flexibility
Not waterproof - cannot be used in showers or pools
vs. Epoxy & Polished Concrete
Surface temps 15-20°F hotter in direct sunlight - unbearable on pool decks
UV yellowing within 6-12 months of sun exposure
Brittle system cracks with thermal cycling from Gulf Coast temperature swings
Traps moisture underneath causing substrate rot and mold
