Cemher microcement. Backed by local expertise.
The Finish is the exclusive New Zealand distributor of Cemher microcement.
We bring together Spanish designed microcement systems, hands-on applicator training, a nationwide Certified Applicator network and local specification support - helping you select, specify and install the right finish for your project.
Cemher microcement is engineered with performance at its core, delivering a robust technically advanced system for residential and commercial applications where durability and reliability are essential.
Developed in Spain, Cemher is a complete multi-layer system, with each layer working in synergy to provide strength, controlled flexibility and long-term resistance. The result is a surface that performs in demanding environments - from bathrooms and kitchens to high-traffic commercial spaces.
Applied at just 2-4mm, depending on the system, it can be installed over correctly prepared substrates including tile, concrete and plasterboard. This enables seamless, grout-free finishes without demolition, creating continuity across floors, walls and joinery.
Cemher is defined by its technical performance. With fully waterproof layers, high resistance to wear, and compatibility with certified wet area systems, it is particularly suited to spaces where functionality is critical.
Slip-resistant and stain-resistant options further enhance its suitability across both residential and commercial projects.
