As Australian homes embrace natural textures, organic forms and more considered material palettes, surfaces are becoming an increasingly important part of design. Rockcote’s MicroStone offers a contemporary way to introduce the sophisticated appearance and tactile character of stone across a variety of surfaces within the home and beyond.
Part of the Rockcote Designer Range, MicroStone is an innovative microcement finish with a refined, stone-like aesthetic. Suitable for both interior and exterior applications, its versatility allows it to be applied across walls, floors and furniture, giving homeowners and designers the freedom to create cohesive spaces where the same material language can flow from one surface to another.
This flexibility makes MicroStone particularly suited to contemporary Australian interiors. It can be used to create statement walls and architectural features, introduce texture to living spaces, or form part of a seamless material palette across kitchens and bathrooms. MicroStone is also approved for wet-area applications, providing further opportunities to carry its distinctive finish into bathrooms and other areas where both aesthetics and performance need to be considered.
Rather than creating a perfectly uniform surface, MicroStone celebrates subtle variations in texture, tone and movement. The finish can also be tailored to achieve smooth, textured or exposed stone effects, providing further flexibility in the final look and feel of a space. These handcrafted qualities give each application an individual appearance, with the finished surface responding differently to natural and artificial light throughout the day. The smooth, textured and exposed stone finish options are specified in the current TDS.
Designers and homeowners can further personalise the result through colour. MicroStone is available in 15 tints and oxides, ranging from understated neutrals through to deeper, more expressive tones. Its natural stone-inspired appearance pairs beautifully with timber, concrete and metal, making it easy to integrate into contemporary material palettes.
MicroStone has also been developed with the application process in mind. Its quick-drying formulation requires no sanding between coats, helping streamline application while still delivering the handcrafted appearance expected from a specialist decorative finish.
For homeowners looking beyond conventional paint, tiles and traditional surface treatments, MicroStone provides an opportunity to make the surface itself part of the design. Whether used as a subtle backdrop or a defining architectural feature, it combines texture, versatility and contemporary aesthetics in a finish designed for creative expression.
MicroStone forms part of the broader Rockcote Designer Range, a collection of Natural Materials and Specialty Finishes designed to give architects, designers and homeowners greater freedom to explore colour, texture and materiality.
