Micro Cement is a cement based finish which can be applied to almost any surface. It can be used internally and externally, wet or dry areas and can be used for new build, refurbishment and restoration work.
The case for micro cement is clear. While traditional polished concrete is hard wearing, it is cold and uninviting and needs to be laid on a perfectly flat substrate with no movement joints and cannot be used in most bathrooms and kitchens due to the water penetration problems that occur when using sealed floor finishes. Screeds are expensive to install, take long periods of time to dry out and require a high level of maintenance once installed. Unsealed natural stone tiles are also high maintenance due to their porosity and need to be continually sealed. All these drawbacks mean that traditional floor finishes are either unsuitable or expensive compared to Micro Cement.
Micro Cement is a superior product for several reasons:
– it can be installed on any substrate including existing tiles, timber floors, concrete floors etc;
– it can be applied over existing screeds;
– it can be laid with no movement joints;
– it doesn’t need sealing;
– it has more colour options than traditional polished concrete;
– it is made from natural materials so
Micro cement is a type of very thin concrete that can be applied in layers of 1-3 mm to walls, floors, ceilings and furniture. It is coloured, so the colour runs all the way through.
Micro cement can be used to create beautiful and unique designs. Because it’s so thin, it can be applied onto virtually any surface (including tiles). This means that you don’t need to remove your old tiles or flooring. Instead you can have new concrete on top. This makes renovation a lot faster and easier.
Micro cement is very resistant and durable. It also looks fantastic, especially when combined with other materials such as wood, glass or metal.
Micro cement is a highly versatile material which can be applied to almost any surface and moulded into most shapes. The application of micro cement is firstly a blend of resin and marble dust which is applied by trowel to a thickness of around 1mm. This is followed by the application of a fibre mesh called Armaflex, which gives strength to the finished floor. The final stage is the application of an acrylic sealer, which will give your floor the required finish.
The many advantages of this type of floor make it particularly suitable for both commercial and residential use. The following are some examples:
Micro cement floors are seamless, so there are no grout lines for dirt and germs to hide in.
Micro cement floors have very low maintenance requirements; they can be washed with water, keeping them hygienic, unlike many other floor types.
Micro cement floors are very durable; they do not chip or scratch easily as they are very hard wearing.
Micro cement or micro concrete flooring is a highly durable and decorative floor finish, suitable for both internal and external. It is a cement based coating with incredible strength, flexibility and durability.
The process of application involves the use of a primer, then multiple coats of cement are applied to the substrate before being ground back to reveal the aggregate you have chosen. Once sealed it will provide many years of service.
Micro cement is also suitable for tiling onto as well as being used as a waterproofing membrane in wet areas.
Micro Cement has many unique properties which make it superior to other flooring materials. Micro Cement can be applied to almost any surface including tiles, metal, glass, laminate and many more. This enables you to keep the existing structures and features in place while beautifying your home or business with a modern new look.
Micro-cement, also known as micro concrete is a cement based coating. Mixing the dry materials with water creates a liquid material that can be applied by brush, roller or spray to create seamless surfaces. It can be applied over tiles and other hard surfaces such as stone, metal and wood. It is between 1mm and 3mm thick allowing you to apply it over existing tiles without having to remove them. It has become very popular for use in bathrooms and kitchens due to its flexible range of applications and modern look.
Micro-cement can be used on both walls and floors but needs to be sealed before use. Use of a sealant gives the micro-cement a smooth finish and protects it from water damage. Sealing will also make the surface easier to clean. There is an even more durable sealer available that can protect it from scratches and chemicals but this may reduce the slip resistance of the surface.
Micro-cement is waterproof, impact resistant and flexible which makes it ideal for bathrooms and kitchens where water or high temperatures are used regularly. Like many other types of flooring it comes in a range of colours which can either be mixed into the cement when applying or added afterwards as stain or paint.
Microcement is a type of cement which is applied to the surface of walls and floors where a smooth, almost seamless finish is required. It is most commonly used in domestic kitchens and bathrooms, but also makes an excellent choice for shop flooring as well as many other commercial applications.
Microcement can be applied very thinly, giving it a much more flexible and durable feel than traditional floor tiles or stone. This can be particularly important when dealing with uneven surfaces or wall and floor transitions, where traditional materials are often difficult to install properly. Microcement’s smooth finish will also minimise the amount of grout needed in places where you do need to use tiles; this cuts down on maintenance and helps reduce the chance of damp problems.
In addition to its installation benefits, microcement has several important advantages over traditional flooring materials in terms of appearance and performance. The smooth surface of microcement delivers a contemporary look that complements any type of decor (although it should be noted that microcement can also be textured to create an appealing weathered effect). Microcement is also extremely hard wearing – it will resist heavy foot traffic without chipping or cracking, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms and shop floors. It
Microcement is a cement-based coating, applied in a thickness of 2-3 mm. It has a huge range of applications, from floors and walls to stairs, furniture and even swimming pools. Its advantages are its creative possibilities, high durability and easy maintenance.
It looks like concrete or even marble, but it is lighter, thinner and much easier to apply. It can be used in both indoors and outdoors. It can also be applied in different ways: trowelled smooth, brushed to look like concrete, polished shiny or textured with stencils. Microcement can be coloured (usually integral colours are used) or decorated with the addition of elements such as glass fibre or wood chips.
Microcement is highly resistant to abrasion and traffic (it supports up to 700kg per m2 for floors), scratches, chemicals and humidity. It does not absorb liquids, so spills do not stain it. It is non-slip and maintains its aesthetic properties throughout its life (no cracks, no flaking).
Its resistance makes microcement ideal for bathrooms where liquids often spill on the floor; kitchens where there is heavy traffic; public facilities such as bars and restaurants; or swimming pools where chlorine is commonly used.
