microcements

Microcement is a decorative coating composed of cement, polymers, additives, and mineral pigments. It is applied in thin layers, typically between 2 and 3 millimeters thick, creating a seamless surface with a natural, textured appearance. Its composition allows it to adhere to a wide variety of substrates, including concrete, tiles, plaster, and drywall, making it a versatile option for renovations and new builds.

The application process involves multiple coats. First, a base layer is applied to ensure adhesion. This is followed by one or more intermediate layers that provide the bulk of the material and create the desired texture. The final layer is a sealant, typically a polyurethane or epoxy varnish, which protects the microcement from water, stains, and wear, and can be finished in matte, satin, or gloss.

Microcement is popular for its aesthetic appeal, offering a contemporary, minimalist look. It is also valued for its durability, waterproof properties, and ease of cleaning, making it suitable for various applications such as floors, walls, countertops, shower enclosures, and furniture. Its seamless nature eliminates grout lines, which can be an advantage in terms of hygiene and maintenance. The material can be produced in a wide range of colors, allowing for customization to match different design schemes.
