Houston's Microcement Specialists
Surfaces Built for Houston's Toughest Climate
Houston presents a unique challenge for interior finishes. With average humidity hovering above 75%, temperatures routinely exceeding 95°F, and the ever-present reality of tropical storm season, the materials inside your home need to perform as hard as they look. Traditional tile traps moisture in grout lines, breeding mold. Hardwood warps and buckles. Even polished concrete can develop moisture-driven efflorescence in Houston's subtropical climate.
Microcement changes the equation entirely. ATRIA's Italian-formulated system creates a monolithic, fully sealed surface with zero grout lines, zero moisture penetration points, and zero organic material for mold to colonize. The secret is our polyurethane-dolomite formula — unlike the acrylic resins used by most competitors, polyurethane doesn't cloud, soften, or delaminate in high-humidity environments. It maintains its hardness, clarity, and waterproof integrity year after year, season after season.
For Houston homeowners who lived through Hurricane Harvey — and the flooding events that followed — microcement represents something more than aesthetics. Applied over concrete slabs, it creates one of the most flood-resilient flooring systems available. If water enters, the surface can be cleaned and dried without the catastrophic replacement costs associated with hardwood, carpet, or tile with compromised grout. It's peace of mind troweled onto your floor.

Neighborhoods We Serve
From River Oaks to The Heights
In River Oaks, Houston's most prestigious neighborhood, our venetian plaster and microcement installations complement the grand scale of traditional and transitional estates. Memorial homeowners favor limewash for its organic, lived-in warmth — perfect for the understated elegance that defines the neighborhood's new construction.
The Heights has become a hotbed of microcement demand — craftsman bungalow renovations where owners want to preserve vintage character while adding modern, seamless surfaces in kitchens and baths. In Montrose and EaDo, creative professionals and restaurateurs choose microcement for its industrial edge and low-maintenance practicality. West University and Bellaire families appreciate the hypoallergenic, mold-resistant properties — critical in a city where indoor air quality is a constant consideration.
The ATRIA Difference
Why Houston Homeowners Choose ATRIA
Engineered for Humidity
Houston's 75%+ average humidity destroys conventional finishes. ATRIA microcement is sealed with a two-component polyurethane topcoat that creates a fully waterproof barrier — no moisture penetration, no mold, no delamination. Our limewash finishes are naturally breathable and antimicrobial, allowing walls to regulate moisture rather than trap it.
Flood Recovery Solution
After Harvey and successive flooding events, thousands of Houston homeowners replaced ruined tile and hardwood with materials that can withstand water exposure. Microcement overlays directly onto concrete slabs — the most flood-resilient substrate — creating a surface that can be cleaned, dried, and restored without demolition if water intrusion occurs again.
Coastal Modern Aesthetic
Houston's design scene has embraced a coastal modern sensibility — light tones, natural textures, open floor plans that flow from indoor living to covered patios. Microcement's seamless surface and unlimited color palette make it the perfect material for this aesthetic, especially in warm sand, soft gray, and bleached white tones.
Faster Renovation Timelines
Houston's booming real estate market means renovation timelines matter. Microcement installs in 5–7 days over existing substrates — no demolition, no disposal trucks, no weeks of tile-setting. For flips, rentals, and primary residences alike, the time savings translate directly to money saved.

Common Questions
Microcement FAQ — Houston
Yes. ATRIA microcement is sealed with Atriapol Antibacterial, a two-component polyurethane topcoat that creates a fully waterproof surface. Unlike acrylic sealers that can cloud or peel in high humidity, our polyurethane system is engineered for exactly these conditions. We've installed in Houston homes, restaurants, and spas without a single moisture-related failure.
Installed microcement floors in Houston typically range from $15–$30 per square foot. Walls run $12–$28/sf and bathrooms $18–$35/sf depending on complexity. These prices include full system installation: surface prep, primer, base coats, finish coats, and sealer. Contact us for a project-specific estimate.
Microcement applied over a concrete slab is one of the most flood-resilient flooring options available. The sealed surface resists water absorption. If flood water does enter, the floor can be cleaned, dried, and if necessary, the polyurethane topcoat can be reapplied without removing the microcement itself — unlike hardwood, carpet, or even tile with compromised grout.
Absolutely. We serve all of Houston including River Oaks, Memorial, The Heights, Montrose, West University, Bellaire, Tanglewood, Museum District, Rice Village, Midtown, EaDo, and the greater Houston metro area.
Yes, with specific system modifications. For covered patios and outdoor areas protected from direct rain, we use our exterior-grade primer and sealer system. The surface handles temperature swings, UV exposure, and humidity. Fully exposed outdoor surfaces require additional considerations — contact us for a site assessment.
