If you’re comparing microcement flooring vs timber flooring, you’re choosing between two very different experiences: a seamless mineral finish versus a warm natural surface that changes over time.

How they feel day-to-day
Timber floors
- Warm, slightly softer underfoot
- Scratches and dents happen, but many people like the “patina”
- Moisture is the big risk (especially near kitchens, entries, and wet-adjacent zones)
Microcement flooring
- Seamless, calm, architectural look
- Great continuity across open-plan layouts
- Performance depends heavily on prep and sealing
Maintenance and long-term reality
Timber
- Ongoing care depends on coating type (oil vs polyurethane)
- Water exposure can mark or swell boards
- Refinishing is possible, but it’s a bigger job
Microcement
- No grout lines, so cleaning is straightforward
- Best with pH-neutral cleaners and grit control (entry mats matter)
- Sealer system is the protection layer, so it must be selected properly

Best use cases in Melbourne homes
- Timber: bedrooms, living zones where warmth is the priority
- Microcement: modern open-plan renovations where you want a calm, seamless look
