Cement and polymers are combined to create microcement, also known as micro-concrete. This decorative coating is applied to walls, floors, and even the surfaces of gardens and swimming pools. Because it is only 2-3 mm thick, it can be applied simply to any surface to provide durability, resistance, and versatility.
It is inexpensive, lightweight, easy to apply by hand, and has good mechanical and chemical resistance to abrasion, water, and UV light. Microcement is less prone to cracking and requires very little upkeep. It is easily applied without removing the existing material because it is only 2-3 mm thick. It adheres well to marble, mortar, terrazzo, gresite, plaster, ceramic, and tiles. Able to provide the desired effects with any color, finish, or effect. Long lasting and, even with several layers, does not increase structural load. To ensure additional protection, anti-slip, and waterproof coatings are advised as additional layers.
Microcement is indeed water-resistant. Microcement is ideal for wet spaces like kitchens and bathrooms because it creates a strong water-resistant barrier when applied properly. It is a popular option for design and building projects because of its water-repelling qualities, which provide a durable and easily maintained surface.
Concrete and other conventional materials have advantages, but they frequently lack waterproofing. Conversely, microcement offers a specially designed way to achieve total waterproofing. Microcement, in contrast to its porous rivals, provides a water-repellent coating that improves durability and gives any area a contemporary feel.
Conventional concrete or cement may not offer the necessary level of protection when it comes to water permeability. Despite their density, these materials are not waterproof. They have the capacity to transmit and absorb water over time, which could lead to harm. Furthermore, water can still permeate even dense concrete or other cementitious materials up to 10–18% of their volume since they are still porous. Microcement, on the other hand, provides a specifically designed waterproofing solution. Our microcement’s water-repellent finish gives a sleek, contemporary appearance to a variety of surfaces, such as high-traffic areas, walls, floors, and bathrooms.
For establishing a waterproof microcement application, it is vital to prioritize the suitable base, primer, and protective. This guarantees durability and stops water from soaking through the top layer, which may cause it to deteriorate quickly. We only use premium waterproof microcement protection at Art Decorating. After extensive testing, these water-based remedies have been shown to be successful. Furthermore, it is crucial to trust professional installers to apply your microcement finish in order to guarantee its best quality and longevity.
