Topciment Evoluttion one-component microcement
Evoluttion is Topciment’s one-component powder microcement range, prepared with water. It includes Microbase for base coats and separate Microdeck and Microfino finishes. One component does not mean one coat: preparation, colouring and protection remain part of the installation.

From base coat to the correct finish
Evoluttion Microbase precedes the finishing microcements. Microdeck is the floor finish in the range; Microfino is intended for vertical and non-walkable surfaces. Compare grade and pack size as well as the function of each layer.
Water instead of a separate mixing resin
Preparation with water distinguishes Evoluttion from two-component powder systems. The precise product determines the water quantity and working method. It still requires a suitable primer, joint treatment and specified protective coats.
How the quotation is calculated
Specify floor and wall areas separately, the substrate and desired appearance. Calculate base and finishing coat demand from Evoluttion documentation. Compare all materials and labour; do not automatically add Acricem using a specification for another range.

Questions about Evoluttion microcement
What does single-component Evoluttion microcement mean?
Evoluttion is a cementitious microcement powder containing preformulated additives. It is mixed with an accurately measured amount of clean water. Unlike Sttandard and Unlimitted, it does not require Acricem as a separate mixing component. This simplifies material preparation but does not remove substrate or workmanship requirements.
“Single-component” does not mean ready-to-use paste or a complete system in one container. Priming, base and finish coats, colouring and protective varnish remain separate stages.
When should Evoluttion Microbase, Microdeck and Microfino be used?
Evoluttion Microbase forms the base beneath the finish and comes in L, XL and XXL grades. Microdeck is used to finish interior floors and other suitable trafficked surfaces. Microfino is intended for walls, façades and non-trafficked surfaces where a fine decorative effect is required.
A standard floor build-up uses Microbase base coats and Microdeck finish coats, while a wall uses Microbase followed by an appropriate wall finish. Do not use Microfino on a floor solely because its texture is finer.
How does Evoluttion differ from ready-to-use Efectto Quartz?
Evoluttion is supplied as a powder and prepared on site with water. Efectto Quartz is a paste that is homogenised before application and installed as its own system. Their binders, aggregate grades, consumption rates and protective-coating requirements differ.
Efectto Quartz is intended for interior walls and lightly trafficked floors. Mixing convenience alone should not determine the choice: assess traffic, moisture and whether the particular finishing grade is intended for walls or floors.
Can Evoluttion be applied over tiles?
Yes, provided the existing covering is sound and stable and the system is correctly prepared. First assess hollow or loose tiles, contamination and moisture. Level the joints with a suitable material, then apply a bonding primer for non-absorbent substrates and the required base coats.
Reinforcement mesh and detailed preparation depend on the substrate. Movement joints must be retained. If tiles move or moisture is present underneath them, microcement will not resolve the cause; the defect must be addressed before applying the decorative finish.
Is Evoluttion suitable for a bathroom floor?
Evoluttion Microdeck can serve as the finishing material in an appropriate bathroom system. A stable substrate, required waterproofing and correctly formed falls and drain junctions are essential. Microfino is a wall material and should not be selected for a bathroom floor.
Complete the protection with a compatible varnish suitable for wet areas. The finished surface’s water resistance depends on the whole system and its detailing. Evoluttion should not be equated with the dedicated Atlanttic swimming-pool system.
How much water should be added, and can the mixture be diluted further?
Measure water according to the technical mixing instructions for the exact product and aggregate grade. Microbase, Microdeck and Microfino do not share one universal ratio. Use clean containers and measuring equipment, keeping the dosage consistent across batches on the same decorative surface.
Adding extra water by eye changes consistency, colour and coat behaviour. Do not revive a mixture that has begun to set by arbitrary dilution. Prepare batches that match the working time and the team’s application rate.
Does Evoluttion need sealing, and how long does it take to dry?
Yes. After the base and finish coats, the system is completed with Presealer and a suitable Topsealer. The primer beneath the microcement and Presealer beneath the varnish have different functions and are not interchangeable. Choose the varnish for the application, traffic and moisture.
Distinguish drying between coats, readiness for sealing and development of service resistance. Timings depend on the exact materials, temperature and humidity. A touch-dry surface does not mean a shower or floor is ready for unrestricted use.
How are materials and costs determined for an Evoluttion system?
Calculate Microbase, the selected Microdeck or Microfino, colourant, primer, any required mesh and protective coatings separately. Use the specified coat count and consumption rate for each material. Microbase, Microdeck and Microfino have different pack sizes and should not be compared as equivalent buckets.
For a quotation, provide the area, substrate, floor or wall use, wet or dry exposure and intended colour. The displayed EUR product price is for the stated pack, not the complete installation.
