🟩 MAGMA 300 - LARGE GRAIN (L)

For when the client wants a rustic look or a base coat with the strength you can actually be confident in.

This is the coarsest decorative grade in the range, and it’s the one to reach for when the brief is raw, industrial, characterful. The larger grain gives you authentic movement and texture - the kind of finish that has plenty of personality and not just a flat paint effect.

Perfect for feature walls, industrial-style floors, and any job where the texture is the design.

🔧 Where it sits: Decorative grade. Maximum character and a strong base coat
✔ Coarsest grain for genuine concrete movement
✔ Texture, depth and natural variation
✔ Built for the raw industrial look

When the spec says “honest materials” - this is the one.

🟧 MAGMA 200 - SUPER BASE (XL)

The layer nobody sees, but every good finish is built on.

Get the base wrong and the whole system tells on you later - telegraphing, movement, inconsistency in the topcoats. That’s why 200 exists.

It’s our high-build foundation grade: the coarsest, hardest-working layer in the range. Goes down on floors and walls to create a strong, stable, consistent bed for everything that follows.

Think of it as the groundwork. Lay it right and 300, 500 or 700 sits perfectly on top - every time.

🔧 Where it sits: Layer one. The structure.
✔ High-build for strength and stability
✔ For floors and walls
✔ Assists to level and unifies the substrate

Need maximum grip on a tricky substrate? Pair it with Magma BondPrime SC - our epoxy scratch coating. Seriously strong adhesion where the project demands it.

Skip the base, chase the problem. Build it right with 200.

THE MAGMA MICROCEMENT RANGE
Four grades. One system. Unlimited finishes.

You already know the difference between a microcement that works with you and one that fights you on the trowel.

That’s exactly why we built MAGMA the way we did, four dedicated grades so you can dial in texture, depth and refinement exactly where the job needs it. No bodging one tub to do four jobs. The right grade, every layer.

🟧 MAGMA 200 - Super Base (XL)
Your high-build foundation. Strength, stability and a consistent bed to build on.

🟩 MAGMA 300 - Large Grain (L)
The coarsest decorative grade. Authentic concrete movement, texture and character.

🟨 MAGMA 500 - Medium Grain (M)
The all-rounder. Balanced contemporary finishes on walls and floors, brilliant workability.

🟦 MAGMA 700 - Smooth Grain (S)
The finest grade. Refined, seamless, elegant surfaces.

Why installers are switching to MAGMA:
✔ UV stable - holds its colour
✔ Ready-to-use - no mixing water or hardeners, open the tub and go
✔ Factory-controlled consistency - batch after batch
✔ Floors, walls, bathrooms & wetrooms
✔ Low-thickness application
✔ Residential & commercial
✔ Low odour, low VOC - pleasant to work with on site
✔ 30 standard colours - plus bespoke colour matching available

Raw industrial concrete, polished contemporary, or something nobody else on your patch is offering - MAGMA gives you the range to win the job and the consistency to keep the client.

Built by installers, for installers.

A Sneak Preview | Elliot Craig Concrete

Nearly 1,000m² of Magma Smooth over Medium, installed throughout this exceptional new-build home in Eastbourne by

This project preview demonstrates the true versatility of the Magma system - seamlessly applied across:
• Floors
• Walls
• Ceilings
• Staircase
• Bathrooms & wet rooms

A carefully selected palette of colours was used, including a bespoke Olive Grey, creating a cohesive, architectural finish that flows effortlessly through the entire property.

Large-scale, design-led projects like this demand consistency, control and reliability - and this is exactly where a Smooth over Medium system excels. Durable, refined and built to perform without compromising on aesthetics.

A standout example of what’s possible when craftsmanship meets the right system.

Real-world testing. Real-world results.

These Magma Microcement samples were fully submerged in water for over a week, then removed, wiped clean, and subjected to surface abrasion - all without any darkening, delamination, or surface failure.

What you’re seeing is the benefit of a single-part, ready-to-use microcement system designed and developed to perform consistently on site - not just in controlled conditions.

• No mixing ratios to get wrong.
• No reactive curing windows.
• No unnecessary waste.

Just an easy to use and durable microcement that behaves exactly as it should.

Magma offers a more efficient, more economical approach - with performance that speaks for itself and flexibility that professional installers now expect as standard.

Simple. Robust. Proven.

A bathroom defined by texture, depth, and personality.

This stunning bathroom installation by Elliot Craig showcases the expressive potential of Magma 300 Large, applied to the walls only in a carefully controlled floated, matt finish.

The larger aggregate of the 300 system introduces natural movement and variation, while the floated application softens transitions and creates a beautifully tactile surface. The matt finish allows the texture to do the talking - absorbing light gently and delivering depth without shine or distraction.

Paired with a striking tiled floor, the contrast between smooth ceramic and textured microcement creates a balanced, considered space that feels both contemporary and timeless.

Projects like this highlight why Magma is increasingly the system of choice for professional installers - offering creative freedom, reliability on site, and finishes that stand apart.

A seamless microcement floor within a truly unique setting.

This project forms part of a contemporary extension to a former church, now thoughtfully converted into a private home in the North.

The brief was clear: a calm, refined surface that would sit comfortably alongside the character of the original stonework while delivering modern performance.

Installed over a screeded subfloor with underfloor heating, the floor required localised crack stitching before application.

A belt-and-braces preparation approach was adopted throughout, ensuring long-term stability and peace of mind in what is a structurally sensitive environment.

The finish is a smooth Magma Microcement system in Grey 2, delivering subtle tonal variation, softness under natural light, and a seamless transition between old and new architectural elements.

Projects like this highlight why Magma is fast becoming a preferred system for professional installers - not only for its aesthetic versatility, but for its consistency, workability, and confidence on technically demanding substrates.

Which primer really performs better on cement boards?

We’ve carried out an independent pull-off strength comparison between:

✔ Magma Liquid Membrane (Tanking Primer)
✔ Standard Epoxy Primer

Both boards were identically prepared and coated in Magma microcement.

Same microcement. Same substrate. Same curing time.

Just two different primers.

The results were more than interesting…

• Magma Liquid Membrane: 1.9 N/mm²
• Epoxy DPM Primer: 1.7 N/mm²

Despite epoxy being considered the “gold standard” for adhesion, our Liquid Membrane outperformed it on cement boards.

Why does this matter?

Bathrooms and wet areas require full tanking below the surface finish under the latest NHBC guidance.

Your substrate needs to be:
• Fully waterproofed
• Fully sealed
• Able to resist moisture movement
• Strong enough to support microcement or tile finishes without failure

Magma Liquid Membrane is a next-generation tanking primer designed specifically for:

• Wet rooms
• Shower walls
• Bathroom floors
• Cement boards / tile backer boards
• High-moisture environments

Stronger bond = longer-lasting installations

This test clearly shows that there is no better all-in-one waterproofing primer for cement boards in bathrooms.

It primes, seals, and protects the substrate - all while delivering exceptional adhesion for microcement systems.

This is a breakthrough for wet-area microcement installations.
