HOW TO APPLY MICROCEMENT? BASIC STEPS

The process of applying microcement requires specialized labor and follows a series of steps that will be influenced by the conditions and characteristics of the support to be coated. We explain how to do it.

1 Prepare the surface

It is of vital importance to prepare the floors or walls that are going to be coated. To do this, the support must be cleaned, leaving it free of dust and grease and repairing any imperfection that may exist. The more uniform the surface is, the better the microcement will adhere and the appearance of possible cracks will be avoided.

2 Place the adhesion promoter on the wall or floor

Once the surface is prepared, the primer must be applied to help the microcement adhere more quickly and easily to the existing material. Depending on the type of surface and the conditions of the space, one type of primer or another will be applied.

3 Apply base or preparation microcement

The next step is to apply the preparation microcement layers on the surface. The specific number of layers will be determined by the system each professional uses. These will serve as a base for the finishing layer applied afterwards. To achieve excellent finishes, each of them must have their corresponding drying and sanding time.

4 Apply finishing microcement

Once the previous layers have been allowed to dry, it is necessary to apply the layers of finishing microcement. Again, depending on the system used by the professional, a certain number of layers will be applied. The finishes that can be appreciated in the result of the renovation, are determined by these layers as they are the most visible of the entire process.

5 Protect the floor or wall coated with microcement

To achieve flawless and much more durable finishes, it is necessary to apply a varnish that seals the coating and protects it from wear due to abrasion, impacts, ambient humidity, etc.

MICROCEMENT FINISHES AND TEXTURES

The textures of the microcement and the application of the sealing varnishes determine the style of the finishes. Depending on the style you want to achieve or the surface where the microcement will be applied, we find different types of textures.

Bathroom with outdoor views and microcement on the floor

Walls are associated with fine grain to achieve silky and smooth finishes that enhance the aesthetic value of the coating. The medium texture is associated with interior floors, which it gives greater resistance. The coarse grain provides greater roughness and is perfect for applying on outdoor pavements, achieving a rustic style.

The porosity of the microcement requires the application of a sealing varnish on the last layer that protects and waterproofs the coating. The sealers can have three types of finishes:

  • Glossy: it is the finish that enhances the color of the microcement and gives strength to the finish of the coating.
  • Matte: ideal for achieving a natural-looking finish that does not reflect light. It withstands wear and dirt well.
  • Satin: It's a finish that falls halfway between glossy and matte. It is used to enhance finishes with a soft shine.
  • Super Matte: It offers a simple look with less shine than the matte finish.

MICROCEMENT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

PRODUCT

The absence of joints makes microcement an ideal material for creating cutting-edge environments with an unparalleled sense of spaciousness. The creation of continuous spaces is joined by its great adherence on any type of surface. This functionality makes it perfect for renovations, as it can also be applied over the existing material without the need to remove it. Lining floors and walls without rubble is a reality.

It is the perfect coating to achieve finishes similar to smooth cement, but with nuances similar to some marbles.

Microcement has non-slip properties depending on the roughness given to the surface or the application of a final layer of varnish. The more rough the final texture of the surface, the safer it is.

Microcement is a material very resistant to ambient humidity and direct contact with water, it positions itself as the ideal material to apply in bathrooms and kitchens. Depending on the composition of the microcement used by the professional, it may be more or less waterproof.

To increase this waterproofness, we recommend sealing the coating in the final layer of the application process with the use of varnishes that you can find in our product catalog.

Microcement presents a high chemical and mechanical resistance, which translates into a material resistant to impacts. It withstands temperature changes, abrasion, and sunlight. It is also completely fireproof, providing high resistance to fire.

The durability of MyRevest microcement is high. With the help of simple maintenance, we guarantee that it is able to withstand the passage of time with hardly any deterioration. To keep it like new and extend its durability, we recommend the use of protecting waxes.

In our product catalog you can find the maintenance waxes MyWax and MyWax Plus, the first of them is made for domestic use and the second for professional use.

Yes, you can create the color combination you want to achieve a unique and personalized finish.

When preparing a budget for a renovation with microcement, professionals take into account a number of factors. To determine the final price of this coating, it is important to take into account factors such as the type of microcement that will be used, the surfaces where it will be applied, and the displacement of professionals.

Approximately, the price of microcement ranges between 70 and 110 euros per square meter. If you want to receive more information or advice from our professionals, contact us without obligation.

Some of the problems that surfaces coated with microcement can present are scratches, cracks and even the absence of waterproofing. If a good quality microcement system is used, the application process is done by expert hands and a sealer is used on the final layers, these problems should not appear.

MyRevest microcement systems do not present these drawbacks, they are endowed with unmatched quality. In our catalog, you can find products to protect the supports covered with this material and keep them as on the first day.

What is erroneously called polished microcement is actually polished cement. Two concepts that are confused and that have nothing to do with each other, although it may seem so at first. Polished cement or polished concrete, as it is also known, is really a decorative finish. A material whose field of application is limited to floors and, in addition, is neither a good thermal nor acoustic insulator. Its name refers to a rotary polisher that is used to achieve that characteristic bright finish. Other disadvantages are that it requires artificial reinforcement and expansion joints, it can lose its shine over time, and cracks may appear.

Liquid porcelain is a material that also has a high demand for its many virtues and finishes. Which is better?, you may be wondering. Well, the answer is that it depends on the finish that the customer is looking for, the surface to be renovated as well as the time frame available to carry out the work.

For instance, liquid porcelain can only be placed on floors due to its viscosity. This is not the case with microcement, whose field of use also extends to walls, ceilings, and furniture. Some matters also palpable regarding the finish. While the former can incorporate 3D elements and visual effects which increase its price, the microcement provides a uniform finish.

The step by step also differs. Liquid porcelain is only suitable for interiors, microcement is suitable for exteriors. In the same way, porcelain requires a self-leveler in its application and, added to the factors described above, its price is much more expensive than microcement.

APPLICATION

It is a perfect coating to achieve an elegant surface. The absence of joints translates into greater space and a sense of continuity. It is an ideal material to achieve an aesthetic result and adaptable to different rooms and styles.

As a general rule, microcement cannot be applied on humid surfaces, as it can harm the adherence of the coating and its finish. But, in some cases, the source of humidity can be repaired or the surface can be treated with epoxy resin, which blocks the moisture or steam that comes from the base.

Microcement can be applied over underfloor heating, but it is necessary to first carry out the startup 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 key, before its application, for the substrate to be in good condition. It is necessary to check for any detached parts, poorly preserved paint or poorly positioned tiles.

Having the base in good state is fundamental to prevent the appearance of future cracks and fissures on the surface where the microcement is applied.

Parquet and wood are materials composed of movable plates. These plates may undergo dilations and movements that cause fissures in the new microcement pavement. For this reason, we advise against applying microcement directly to a parquet floor. The ideal option would be to remove the parquet.

Yes, microcement can be applied if the surface is in good condition, leveled and free of grease. In this case, it is not necessary to remove the existing surface and the application process can be carried out without any problem.

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

The recommendation from professionals, including us, is very clear in this regard. It is advisable to use mesh when applying microcement, especially in the case of floors and walls covered with tiles. However, this does not mean that it is 100% mandatory in all works, some nuances must be emphasized. There are types of microcement for which the use of mesh is not necessary, like our ready-to-use microcement MyReady Go! That is why you should always, always consult a trusted professional.

Before applying the microcement, it is necessary to ensure that the surface is leveled, moisture-free, fully sanitized, and clean. With the clean support, a layer of primer is applied to consolidate the support and then apply the mesh to give the coating an extra strength.

Microcement can be applied on any surface, except for live wood. In the case of tiles, the support has to be leveled and the joints have to be covered first. This material adheres to the existing surface without any problems and the former joints will not be noticeable.

The most advisable thing is to apply the microcement at the end of the works and by personnel specialized in the use of this material. It is a decorative coating that requires expert and professional hands to achieve quality finishes.

Plaster or plasterboard supports are the most recommended surfaces for applying microcement, since they are absorbent surfaces. Before starting with the cladding, it must be ensured that 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 safety purpose, a final layer of varnish is applied which makes it completely waterproof, making it a perfect coating for application in the bathroom, sink, shower tray or bathtub. The feeling of unity and resistance to pressure is guaranteed.

It is important and necessary to seal the microcement as it makes it harder and makes the coating easier to maintain. The polyurethane protective layer prevents stains from appearing and gives a final touch that enhances the design. You can achieve a matte, satin or glossy finish, depending on the desired finish. The varnishes also are responsible for the non-slip and waterproof finish that is so highly valued in microcement finishes.

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. Also, attention must be paid to the corners of the steps, where we advise installing a hidden aluminum profile in the base mortar to prevent wear problems.

The qualities of microcement allow it to be a very versatile coating that can be applied indoors and outdoors. In fact, lately, the use of microcement in outdoor spaces such as terraces, facades or pools due to its exceptional performance. It resists UV light and rain, as well as wear from abrasion and heavy traffic. You just need to know how to choose the right type of microcement for this type of application.

MAINTENANCE

To clean microcement you only need water and neutral PH soap, you should never use aggressive products. It is necessary to avoid products like bleach, chlorine, ammonia, soaps and detergents in general, as they damage the protective films of the microcement. At MyRevest we have developed specific products to ensure even deeper cleaning and keep the microcement coating shiny and in perfect condition every day: MyCleaner and MyCleaner Plus.

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, colors may slightly fade.

Preserving the microcement coating in good condition over time depends on the care and maintenance it is given. It is advisable to apply a layer of diluted wax for the maintenance of the sealing layer periodically.

The spillage of chemicals or the fall of sharp objects can damage the coating, leaving a visible mark on the surface. That's why it's important to care for it as carefully as you might a parquet floor, for example.

Microcement resists very well to a high circulation of people. However, if the floor wear is higher, we recommend applying a layer of one of our waxes (MyWax or MyWax Plus) approximately every six months. This ensures an even higher protection especially for surfaces covered with microcement, because it provides greater hardness.
