Standard Wall System
The benchmark for modern microcement walls — elegant, durable, and built to last.
What Is the Standard Wall System?
The Standard Wall System is Microcement USA’s most versatile wall application — combining beauty, strength, and performance.
It provides a natural, seamless surface that transforms ordinary walls into architectural focal points.
Designed for bathrooms, living spaces, and commercial interiors, it’s the go-to choice for installers who need a reliable system with predictable results.
This is the system that defines modern, minimalist interiors — timeless and clean, yet extremely durable.

When to use the Standard Wall System
When you should use it
You should consider using the Standard Wall System when:
- You are working on interior walls (residential or commercial) that are not subject to heavy mechanical or structural movement. You want a high-quality, seamless micro-cement finish with aesthetic appeal (feature wall, living room, lobby wall, etc) and you don’t necessarily need the heavy duty specification of a wet-room or heavy traffic area.
- The budget/time constraints push toward a good-value system — Standard fills the middle ground between Fast (least build up) and Belt & Braces (highest build up).
- You require a finish that is more robust than a typical decorative skim/plaster, but you don’t need full wet-zone reinforcement — e.g., bathrooms (outer walls, not shower walls), corridors, retail interiors.
- You want to match floors or other surfaces finished in micro-cement and desire consistent visual textures across walls.
When you might not use it
Situations where the Standard Wall System may be less appropriate:
- If the substrate is unstable, has notable structural movement/deflection, large cracks, or you are working with a substrate that cannot provide adequate support — in such cases the Belt & Braces Wall System (with mesh reinforcement and epoxy primers) would be the safer choice.
- If the application is in a wet zone (e.g., inside a shower enclosure, steam room) or heavy commercial environment — Forcrete themselves say for wall systems, “walls inside the shower always receive the Belt & Braces Wall system, regardless of substrate.
