microcement range

Microcement has seamless, crack-proof and waterproof qualities. It is often used in bathrooms, showers, kitchen counters, wet rooms, as external renders, patios and even in swimming pools.

All of the advantages of tiles or external concrete / render with the benefit of no lines, cracks and the endless beautiful appearances to accompany.

Microcement with Highly Decorated comes in several forms some of which naturally have more grit and texture to offer non slip support.

Other types of finer finished Microcement such as the Microfino range are not naturally non slip but can have a non slip element added to the final sealants to ensure they are safer underfoot whilst still sleek and smooth to touch.

A typically install will take 5-6 days.

This consists of the following;

Day 1). Preparation – Epoxy base where required. Fibreglass mesh laid and stuck with water based compound

Day 2). First Coat of Microbase trowelled on.

Day 3). First Coat of Microbase sanded down with electric hand held sanders. Second Coat of Microbase trowelled on.

Day 4). Second Coat of Microbase sanded down with electric hand held sanders. First Coat of final Microcement Compound trowelled on (fine, deck, stone)

Day 5). First Coat of final Microcement Compound (fine, deck, stone) sanded down. Second coat of final Microcement compound trowelled on

Day 6). Second coat of final Microcement compound sanded down. Final 4 coats of presealer and sealer applied. This gives floor / walls ultimate protection, non-slip elements where required and the final desired finish (matte, satin or gloss)

To ensure the long and durable life of our microcements, we recommend the use of water and neutral soaps.

The care of microcement is similar to that of natural wood parquet. We advise to avoid permanent wetness, or prolonged contact with moisture.  The surfaces should also be kept free of stones or grit which can scratch the coating. Avoid any blows and rubbing with hard objects.

Although microcement offers a high resistance to chemicals, cleaning should be done with neutral soaps, never with aggressive or descaling products. Additionally, avoid products such as chlorine, bleach, ammonia, soaps and detergents in general, as they can damage the protective film.
