Microcement & Decorative Finishes
in Austin, Texas
Creative, one-of-a-kind surfaces for a city that never does ordinary.
Austin's Microcement Artisans
Surfaces as Original as Austin Itself
Austin has never been a city content with the expected. From the live music spilling out of Sixth Street to the architecturally adventurous homes climbing the hills above Lake Austin, this is a place where creativity isn't just encouraged — it's required. So when Austin homeowners, architects, and restaurateurs discover microcement, the reaction is almost universal: where has this been?
Microcement is a hand-troweled, seamless surface system that turns floors, walls, and bathrooms into continuous canvases. No grout lines. No repetitive tile patterns. No off-the-shelf predictability. Every ATRIA microcement surface is applied by trained artisans using steel trowels, creating organic movement, subtle texture variations, and depth that photographs can only approximate. It is, by definition, a one-of-a-kind finish — which is exactly why Austin has embraced it.
ATRIA's system is manufactured in Sicily, Italy, using a proprietary polyurethane-dolomite formula that outperforms the acrylic-based products dominating the U.S. market. For Austin's climate — brutal summers, occasional freezes, and the limestone-heavy water that wreaks havoc on conventional finishes — this distinction matters. Our polyurethane matrix doesn't yellow, soften, or crack under thermal stress. It maintains its color, hardness, and waterproof integrity for decades, not years.

Neighborhoods We Serve
From South Congress to Westlake Hills
South Congress and Travis Heights are where Austin's microcement movement started — creative homeowners transforming 1940s bungalows with seamless floors and limewash walls that honor the neighborhood's eclectic character. In Zilker and Barton Hills, mid-century ranch renovations use microcement to create the open, flowing floor plans these homes were designed for but never quite achieved with carpet and tile.
Westlake and Barton Creek clients bring us their most ambitious projects — venetian plaster in double-height great rooms, metallicum accent walls in wine cellars, microcement spanning 3,000+ square feet of continuous floor. East Austin and Mueller fuel our commercial work — restaurants, coffee shops, yoga studios, and co-working spaces where microcement's industrial-meets-refined aesthetic is exactly the vibe.
The ATRIA Difference
Why Austin Homeowners Choose ATRIA
Made for Creative Design
Austin doesn't do cookie-cutter. ATRIA microcement is hand-troweled, making every surface genuinely one-of-a-kind. The texture, movement, and depth of each application reflect the artisan's hand — the same creative authenticity that defines Austin's design culture. From subtle cloud effects to dramatic color blocking, the creative possibilities are limitless.
Mid-Century Modern & Industrial Perfect
Austin's architectural DNA runs from 1950s ranch homes in Zilker to adaptive reuse warehouses on East Cesar Chavez. Microcement speaks both languages fluently — its poured-concrete aesthetic complements clean midcentury lines, while its raw, tactile surface feels right at home in industrial loft conversions. No other material bridges these worlds so naturally.
Sustainable & Low-Waste
Austin leads Texas in sustainability consciousness. Microcement overlays existing surfaces — no demolition, no landfill waste, no new substrate manufacturing. The thin 2–3mm application uses a fraction of the raw material compared to tile or stone. And because ATRIA products are water-based with low VOC content, your indoor air quality stays clean.
Hill Country Climate Ready
Austin's climate swings from scorching 108°F summers to occasional hard freezes. ATRIA's polyurethane-dolomite formula handles thermal cycling without cracking, softening, or delaminating. For homes with radiant floor heating — increasingly popular in Westlake and Barton Creek — microcement's thin profile and thermal conductivity maximize system efficiency.

Perfectly. Microcement's seamless, poured-concrete aesthetic is the natural evolution of the clean lines and open floor plans that define mid-century architecture. It overlays directly onto existing slab or tile at just 2–3mm — preserving original floor heights and door clearances that are critical in vintage home renovations.
Yes. Microcement eliminates demolition waste by overlaying existing substrates. The 2–3mm application thickness uses minimal raw materials compared to tile or stone. ATRIA products are water-based with low VOC emissions, and the long 15–25+ year lifespan means fewer replacement cycles. It aligns well with Austin's sustainability values.
