Microcement, resin, lime
We are a family firm in Riva del Garda, father and son, since 2008. We redo floors, bathrooms and walls with seamless surfaces, even straight over the existing floor, with no demolition.
Lake Garda, Trentino and South Tyrol
The craft
Microcement and resin are applied with a trowel, one layer after another, each with its own setting time. The finished surface is never as even as a tile: the clouding and the marks of the hand are part of the material, and they are why people choose it.
For the same reason we look after the site visit, the samples and the installation ourselves, and we take on few jobs at a time.
Work
Hotel restaurant · Vermiglio, TN
Cementoresina
The kitchen of the Elementa restaurant inside Hotel Al Foss: sixty square metres of Kerakoll cementoresina, brought flush with the existing timber floor. Design D4L Cestele Architetti, construction and management Bonfante Interior Contractor, photos Daniele Paternoster.
Private villa · Rovereto, TN
Architop microcement
Eighty square metres of microcement across living room, kitchen and bathroom, next to exposed concrete walls. In the glazed corner the floor runs flush to the window frame, with no step.
Bathroom · Trento
Cementoresina
Floor and walls of the bathroom in the same material, with no joints. The bathtub is set flush with the resin: the floor reaches the edge and carries on. Designed by architect Matteo Bonvecchio.
Retail store · Bolzano, BZ
Architop microcement
The floor of the Ciocomiti store at Waltherpark, microcement in the Smoke shade. We then laid the same floor again, matching it, in the Trento and Riva del Garda stores.
Two-storey house · Mezzocorona, TN
Cementoresina
Two hundred square metres of cementoresina across floors and stairs, laid over an old, damaged resin floor without removing it. Door and stair levels stayed as they were.
Bathrooms and staircase · Toscolano Maderno, BS
Microcement
Four bathrooms in microcement and the stairwell, walls and risers, paired with timber treads. The site is a group of houses by the lake, still in progress.
Living room and bathroom
With no joints the floor is a single surface from wall to wall, and the furniture sits on it without lines cutting across. Microcement goes over the existing floor: a few millimetres, and doors and thresholds stay at their level.
Resin and microcement cover the bathroom floor and walls without breaks. Lime does not go in the shower area: there we use only these two.
Over time
A surface with no joints has no lines for dirt to settle in. At the end of the job we leave you written instructions for cleaning it, with the products to use and the ones to avoid: that is what makes it last.
Configurator
Pick surface, room and material and see the shade in a furnished room. It is not a quote: it helps you work out what you like before you see the real samples.
How we work
We come and look at the substrate: its condition, whether it is level, any moisture, how the light comes in. That tells us which material makes sense and how to lay it.
We make panels with the products and colours you chose, and you look at them in your own home, in the light of the room. We start only when the sample is right.
We lay it ourselves, layer over layer. Corners, junctions and the transitions between rooms are settled before we start, not halfway through.
You get written guidance on cleaning and maintaining the surface, with the products to use and the ones to avoid, and how long to wait before full use.
