- Microcement Surface
Giving properties a full scale makeover is an expensive proposition. How about something that gives all open and hidden surfaces an instant shine and polish, but costs only a little money? Eco Porcelainic MicroCement brings to you microcement, a product that will meet multiple needs and concerns in just one application.
Applications of Microcement
Although most people know microcement to be a material exclusively for flooring, the product can be used on both walls and floors. Below are the precise applications of Microcement surface.
- It is used to add a slick finish to the flooring.
- It is applied to walls to create a protective barrier between the original material and external elements.
- It can be used on exterior walls and floors too since it is highly resistant to moisture.
- Microcement is used in swimming pools to add a layer of varnish to the walls and floor.
The Precise Benefits of Microcement
If you have been hearing a lot about microcement surfaces, it’s for good reasons. A composite, cement-based coating, it has a long list of advantages. Here are some:
- It creates a solid barrier between the building material of a surface and the elements of moisture, heat, etc..
- It gives surfaces a seamless optics which contributes to making spaces appear bigger and roomier. It has an excellent flow and that helps achieve that visual continuity.
- Microcement is a very thin material and the coatings are not thicker than 2mm. That makes it unnecessary to chip away or scale down existing facades before applying it.
- Microcement is very easy to install and requires only a few hours to be ready.
- Microcement surfaces clean very easily and are practically no-maintenance.
- Microcement comes in a large number of shades and textures which give users copious options of customization.
- Microcement surfaces are impermeable, which means they act as a permanent coverage protecting the underlying materials from all kinds of damages.
- Microcement has excellent adhesion which means it is unlikely to peel away even years after installation. That makes it a one-time investment in most properties.
- Microcement surfaces are compatible with concrete, wood, stone, tile and such materials.
Microcement Surface Maintenance
One of the best things about having surfaces in the house that are finished with microcement composite materials is that it makes things around the house easy to maintain. All you need to clean microcement surfaces is a neutral soap and some water.
Eco Porcelainic MicroCement recommends using non-abrasive detergents because the chemicals in stronger cleaners adversely damage the barrier microcement creates on a surface. Similarly, all alkaline products are forbidden to use on microcement surfaces as they can break the protective layer of the material.
In short, the maintenance of microcement surfaces is the same as wood parquet floors. Just go in with a little soapy water and gently wipe down the surfaces. Avoid exposing them to prolonged contact with moisture. Also dust them from time to time so that sand and stones don’t settle on the surfaces scratching the sheen of the finish.
