APPLICATION

It is a perfect coating to achieve an elegant surface. The absence of joints results in greater amplitude and a sense of continuity. It is an ideal material for achieving an aesthetic result adaptable to different rooms and styles.

Microcement cannot be applied to surfaces with moisture, as it can impair the adhesion of the coating and its finish. The steam from the moisture can cause staining problems on the surface.

Microcement can be applied to a radiant floor, but it is necessary to first carry out the ignition protocol to prevent cracks caused by temperature changes.

Microcement is a coating that does not crack on its own due to its elasticity. It is crucial, that before its application, the support is in good condition. One must check that there are no detached parts, poorly painted or poorly placed tiles.

Having the basics in good condition is essential to prevent future cracks and fissures on the surface where the microcement is applied.

Yes, you can apply microcement if the surface is maintained, levelled, and free of fats. In this case, it is not necessary to remove the existing surface and the entire application process can be carried out without a problem.

For outdoor floors, it is necessary to apply a microcement with maximum resistance to abrasion and temperature changes. MyRock offers a natural and stony finish for an anti-slip floor.

Before applying microcement, make sure the surface is leveled, free of moisture, completely healthy and clean. With the support cleaned, we must apply a layer of primer to consolidate it and then place the mesh to give the coating an extra strength.

Microcement can be applied on any surface, except live wood. In the case of tiles, first level the support and cover the joints. This material adheres without problems on the existing surface and the previous joints won't be noticeable.

Plaster or plasterboard supports are the most recommended for applying microcement, as they are absorbent surfaces. Before starting with the coating, make sure the plaster or plasterboard has set.

The average time for a microcement application is 4 to 5 days.

Microcement is a porous material, but for added safety a final layer of varnish is applied making it totally waterproof, making it a perfect coating to apply in the bathroom, sink, shower tray or bathtub. The sense of unity and resistance to pressure are guaranteed.

It is important and necessary to seal the microcement, as it gives it greater hardness and facilitates the maintenance of the coating. The polyurethane protective layer prevents the appearance of stains and gives it a final touch that enhances the design. A matte, satin or glossy finish can be achieved, depending on the desired finish.

Microcement is a material that adapts to any surface, and stairs are no exception. The most important thing is to ensure that the support is consolidated and stable. Attention should also be paid to the corners of the steps, where it is advisable to install a hidden aluminum profile in the base mortar to prevent wear problems.

MAINTENANCE

To clean the microcement you only need water and neutral PH soap, aggressive products should never be used. It's necessary to avoid products like bleach, chlorine, ammonia, soaps and general detergents, as they damage the protective films of the microcement.

The microcement does not fade because it is a material made with mineral pigments that prevent it from losing color. It should also be noted that after daily exposure to sunlight, it is possible for colors to soften slightly.

Preserving the microcement coating in good condition over time depends on the attention put into care and maintenance. It is advisable that every so often an application of diluted wax is performed for the maintenance of the sealing layer.

The spill of chemical products or the fall of sharp objects can damage the lining, leaving a visible mark on the surface.

On surfaces where there is high foot traffic, it is recommended to use cleaners and waxes. If the wear of the floor is greater, it is advised to apply a coat of varnish
