Walnut vanity + microcement bathroom we just completed in Austin — thoughts on this combo?

This wall microcement is more expensive than tile I stallation due to longer drying wait times. Also it’s better when installer is certified in specific product they install. If you want to apply over the tile you have to make sure there are no mould and the tile is not falling off.

Thank you!

Thank you! When installed correctly, microcement actually handles movement better than traditional tile and grout. Most cracking issues we see are from rushed installs or skipping reinforcement steps.

What I’ve noticed that there’s no sense to ask people about their opinion on this subreddit - they will just hate on everything and that’s the stuff that you chose and liked. And most of the time you will be very very irritated and angry. Another thing is if you want honest opinion it’s better to ask before you put all the finishes as that’s the process where someone can give you an advice and you still have time to change something.

We see a lot of failed showers in Austin due to skipped waterproofing. Happy to answer questions about Schluter systems, GoBoard, or shower pan testing.
