Microcement, decorative concrete, and microcement are all names for the same material, which is composed primarily of finely ground cement and various additives. Microcement has gained popularity in Cyprus due to its aesthetic qualities. Microcement coatings can be used on floors, ceilings, and walls. Microcement (decorative concrete) can be used in areas with high humidity. Microcement creates a seamless coating and can be applied to complex geometric surfaces, such as columns, arches, corners, and spheres. It is available in a wide range of colors.
Our company specializes in microcement application in Cyprus and uses materials from world-renowned brands. Microcement coatings are highly durable and can be applied to residential and commercial properties.
Microcement is typically applied over a cement-sand base, but the material can also be applied to wood surfaces. It can be used on concealed doors, as a coating for kitchen countertops, and for designer tabletops.
Microcement can be used in bathrooms and showers, bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens. Decorative concrete has excellent aesthetic properties and can be used with various varnishes (matte and gloss). With the right lighting, it creates a memorable interior for any room.
When using microcement as a finishing coating, it should be remembered that there are specific features of applying the material to walls and floors, as well as specific features of surface preparation.
Although microcement is a durable material, it will not last long without a solid foundation.
After the screed is laid and dried, cracks form that need to be filled and sealed with polymer compounds. In some cases, additional leveling is performed using a leveling compound. The surface is also sanded. Mirocement is applied to the prepared surface in several stages, one of which involves laying a special mesh, which strengthens the material. The final step is varnishing; three coats are required for floors and wet areas.
Microcement works well when applied to floors that are heated by water and electric elements (underfloor heating).
When applying microcement to walls, the number of application steps is reduced, mesh is not used, and fewer layers of varnish are applied.
Microcement is a tactilely pleasant material, easy to repair, and creates a good optical effect due to the seamless coating it creates.
