Microcement is a form of non-organic and non-residue-producing cement that is made from micro-fine particles. The microcement application process is often used in new or renovated commercial buildings, as well as residential properties, to give them an aesthetic appeal while also protecting their underlying structural integrity. For example, microcement can be used to repair ceilings or walls by creating a watertight surface. It can also be applied to create a decorative finish on walls and countertops or even used to make tiles for floors or walls. Microcement is not just confined to the interior of structures; it can also be used on their exteriors. Commercial and residential property owners can extend their structure’s lifespan by having microcement applied as cladding over the original surface. This will protect the structure from the elements.
What is Microcement?
Microcement, or micro cement, is a special blend of cement, water, and other binding agents that are used to create new surfaces or repair existing ones. It has a very fine grain and is often coloured. It can last a very long time and is very effective as a finishing material. It’s also water-resistant and fire-resistant. Microcement can be used for many different purposes. For example, it’s often used to create the surface of floors, walls, and ceilings. You can also use it to repair or replace broken concrete. It’s also a material that’s often used for outdoor projects, such as for paths, patios, and driveways. And it’s sometimes used in landscaping projects, too.
What are the benefits of using microcement?
Microcement offers several benefits to the construction industry, property owners, and those responsible for managing construction projects. Microcement is an extremely versatile material that can be applied to both interior and exterior surfaces. It can be used to provide a high-quality finish on walls, floors, and ceilings, and is also highly effective at repairing existing surfaces that are damaged or broken.
What is the microcement application process and how is it applied?
Microcement can be applied to a variety of surfaces. When applied to an existing surface, it is often applied by trowel or by brush. The surface is first cleaned and then the microcement is applied in a thin layer. If applied to a new surface, it is usually mixed with water and then poured into moulds to create bricks or tiles. These are then dried and used to create a new surface.
Who can apply microcement and what’s involved?
Various companies specialise in applying microcement. They will meet with the property owner to discuss the project and decide which type of finish would work best for their property. After that, they’ll calculate the amount of material needed and source the appropriate colour, texture, and design. The flooring company will then deliver and mix the microcement and then apply it to the desired surfaces. They’ll also clean up the site and dispose of the leftover materials.
Bottom line
Microcement is a special type of cement that is applied to surfaces to protect and beautify them. It is often used in new or renovated commercial buildings, as well as residential properties, to give them an aesthetic appeal while also protecting their underlying structural integrity. Microcement can be used to repair ceilings or walls by creating a watertight surface and can also be applied to create a decorative finish on walls and countertops or even used to make tiles for floors or walls. Microcement is not just confined to the interior of structures; it can also be used on their exteriors. Commercial and residential property owners can have microcement applied as cladding over a structure’s original surface to protect it from the elements and significantly extend its lifespan.
