Seamless Architectural Finishes for Floors, Walls & Bathrooms

At NZ Grinders, we specialise in premium microcement and micro topping systems for residential and commercial projects throughout New Zealand.

Microcement — also known as micro topping — or venetian plaster – is a seamless decorative coating designed to create modern concrete-look surfaces across floors, walls, bathrooms, kitchens and exterior spaces. Applied at a thin depth over properly prepared substrates, microcement delivers the appearance of polished concrete without the need for full concrete replacement.

Our systems are ideal for architects, interior designers, builders and homeowners wanting a refined contemporary finish with minimal joins and exceptional durability.

Whether you are creating a luxury bathroom, modern kitchen, commercial retail space or architectural home, NZ Grinders can deliver a high-performance decorative concrete finish tailored to your project.
