Topcret microcement: products and EPD coverage
Specifiers know microcement can turn demo-heavy remodels into clean overlays. What they do not always know is which brands bring third‑party environmental proof to the table. Here is a crisp look at Topcret tecnología en revestimientos SL, what they sell across floors, walls and wet areas, and how far their Environmental Product Declarations reach today.
Topcret in one minute
Topcret is a Barcelona‑born specialist in thin, cement‑based decorative coatings applied by trained installers. Their systems show up in retail, hospitality, offices and high‑end residential. The company positions sustainability up front on its site, with a page that consolidates claims and certificates you can point a client to (Topcret Sustainability).
Portfolio at a glance
Topcret is not a single‑product shop. The range spans high‑traffic floor microcement, low‑traffic options for floors and walls, a pool system, a microcement compatible underfloor heating solution, and specialty wall finishes in clay and metal effects. Counting variants, textures and colors, SKUs sit in the dozens rather than hundreds. That breadth lets Topcret cover many rooms and substrates with one aesthetic language.
What has an EPD today
Two Topcret flagships carry product‑specific EPDs registered with the International EPD System. EcoCemento shows publication on June 8, 2023 with validity through June 7, 2028 (EPD International, 2023) (EPD International, 2023). BAXAB Eco posts the same publication and validity dates under registration S‑P‑09513 (EPD International, 2023) (EPD International, 2023). Both follow EN 15804+A2 and are listed for global use.
Gaps worth closing
Based on public listings as of November 20, 2025, we could not find published EPDs for T/Swim pool coatings, the Summery heated floor solution, Microcemento base lines, Real Metals, or Clay. If those are in your sales mix, you are likely leaving credits unclaimed on jobs that count EPDs toward materials targets.
Why this matters on projects
LEED teams often chase the Building Product Disclosure and Optimization credit for EPDs. The USGBC guidance sets concrete thresholds, including exemplary performance for sourcing at least 40 qualifying products from five manufacturers, which means every verified EPD can be the make‑or‑break on a submittal stack (USGBC, 2024) (USGBC, 2024). When your product lacks an EPD, teams must model with conservative defaults that penalize selection, so you end up competing mostly on price.
The spec game example
EcoCemento is pitched as a go‑to for seamless floors and walls. If a client loves the look but a space demands a heavy‑wear topping backed by an EPD, a specifier can pivot to Mapei Ultratop N, a decorative cementitious self‑leveler with a current EPD valid until October 8, 2028 (EPD International, 2023) (EPD International, 2023). In food and pharma, resin systems with active EPDs like Sika Ucrete UD 200 also show up in comparisons for durability and hygiene demands, again with published declarations in 2025 that projects can count (EPD International, 2025). This speeds decisions alot.
Who Topcret competes with most
In real bids, Topcret microcements are evaluated against premium microcement and overlay brands, plus resin floors where service conditions push toward polymers.
- Microcement and cementitious overlays: Mapei Ultratop family, Ardex Pandomo, Ideal Work Microtopping, Topciment, Novamix, Forcrete.
- Resin and hybrid systems in similar settings: Sika Sikafloor and Ucrete families, Flowcrete, Stonhard.
If your opportunity set includes healthcare, retail, food production, education or transit, assume at least one like‑kind or substitute has a live EPD in the binder.
What a smart next step looks like
Map your top sellers to the right PCR and operator. A focused EPD plan starts with product segmentation by use case, not by plant org chart. Then collect one clean reference year of data and let a partner drive the cross‑functional asks, from utilities to bill of materials to scrap. Prioritize the systems that show up most in specs and that face EPD‑rich rivals. Aim to publish with an operator your core markets already consult. The less your internal team has to chase data, the faster you get dependable results you can put in front of design teams.
Bottom line for Topcret
Topcret’s two EPD‑backed microcements give them an entry ticket on many projects. The bigger commercial unlock sits in extending coverage to pools, heated floors and specialty wall finishes. Close those gaps and you turn a distinctive aesthetic into a fully spec‑ready system, from lobby to locker room to lab.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Topcret products have public EPDs and how long are they valid for?
EcoCemento and BAXAB Eco both have EPDs registered with the International EPD System, published June 8, 2023 and valid through June 7, 2028 (EPD International, 2023).
Where can specifiers verify Topcret’s sustainability claims quickly?
Point them to the company’s sustainability page that consolidates program logos and statements, then attach the EPD PDFs from the operator listing for submittals (Topcret Sustainability and EPD International entries, 2023).
If a Topcret product lacks an EPD, what is a credible alternative with one?
For decorative cementitious toppings, Mapei Ultratop N has an active EPD valid to October 8, 2028 (EPD International, 2023). For heavy duty hygienic floors, Sika Ucrete systems carry active EPDs in 2025 that many owners accept in food and pharma settings (EPD International, 2025).
How do EPDs influence LEED material credits in practice?
LEED counts third‑party EPDs toward MR Building Product Disclosure and Optimization thresholds, with exemplary performance at 40 qualifying products from five manufacturers. Missing EPDs make compliance harder for teams and can disfavor your product in selections (USGBC, 2024).
