What is microcement? Everything you need to know about the modern material for stylish renovation

Renovation is not only an opportunity to update the interior, but also a chance to use modern materials that will make your home unique, practical and stylish. One of these materials, which has been gaining popularity in recent years, is microcement. This versatile material is ideal for creating minimalist but expressive interiors. Our company, specializing in mechanized repair and construction, has prepared a detailed review for you: what is microcement, where it can be used, and why it has become a favorite of designers and homeowners. Let's figure out how this material can transform your home with the help of advanced technologies.

What is microcement and how did it appear?

Microcement is a thin-layer coating based on cement, polymers and mineral additives, which is applied to various surfaces to create a smooth, seamless finish. Its thickness is usually only 2-3 mm, which makes it a lightweight and versatile material. Microcement was first used in industrial premises where a durable and wear-resistant coating was required. However, over time, designers appreciated its aesthetic qualities, and today microcement is actively used in residential interiors, from bathrooms to living rooms.

Microcement has high adhesion, which allows it to be applied to almost any surface: concrete, tiles, wood, plasterboard and even metal. Thanks to the addition of polymers, the material becomes more elastic and resistant to cracks, and special protective coatings make it waterproof and resistant to abrasion. This makes microcement an ideal choice for rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms and kitchens.

Advantages of microcement: why choose it?

Microcement has become popular for a reason - it has many advantages that make it an excellent solution for modern renovation. Here are the main ones:

• Aesthetics and versatility. Microcement creates a smooth, seamless surface that looks stylish and modern. It can be painted in any color, add texture or left in a natural gray shade, which is ideal for loft, minimalism or Scandinavian design styles.
• Strength and durability. Despite its thinness, microcement is very durable. It is resistant to mechanical damage, moisture and temperature changes, which makes it suitable for any premises, including terraces and balconies.
• Ease of application. Mechanized repair allows you to apply microcement quickly and evenly. With the help of professional equipment, we can prepare the surface, apply the material and protective coating in a short time, minimizing dust and dirt.
• Space saving. Due to its minimal thickness, microcement does not "eat up" space, which is especially important for small rooms. It can be applied even over old tiles, which saves time and money on dismantling.
• Easy to maintain. The microcement surface is easy to clean with regular detergents. The protective layer prevents dirt from being absorbed, making the material hygienic and practical.

Where can microcement be used?

One of the main advantages of microcement is its versatility. This material is suitable for a wide variety of surfaces and rooms, allowing you to create a holistic design without unnecessary joints and seams. Here are some ideas for where microcement can be used:

✔ Floors. Microcement flooring is a stylish alternative to tiles or laminate. It creates the effect of a monolithic surface, visually expanding the space. This floor is ideal for living rooms, kitchens, and even bedrooms.

✔ Walls. Microcement on the walls adds texture and depth to the interior. It is often used in bathrooms to create a "wet zone" effect without the seams that tiles usually have.

✔ Furniture and decorative elements. Microcement can be used to update countertops, bar counters, or even furniture. For example, coating a kitchen countertop with microcement will make it resistant to moisture and scratches, and will also give it a modern look.

✔ Bathrooms. Microcement is ideal for wet rooms due to its waterproofness. It can be used to finish walls, floors, and even shower areas, creating a seamless coating that is easy to clean.

✔ Exterior surfaces. Microcement is resistant to weather conditions, so it can be used to finish terraces, balconies, or facades. It does not fade in the sun and is not afraid of frost.

Mechanized repairs allow you to apply microcement with jewelry precision. We use professional tools for surface preparation, material application and finishing to achieve the perfect result. For example, when finishing a floor, we can create a completely smooth coating without any differences, and when working with walls, we can achieve the desired texture or glossy effect.

How to choose microcement for your home?

The choice of microcement depends on your preferences and tasks. First of all, decide on the color and texture: do you want a smooth glossy surface or a rougher one, with the effect of concrete? It is also important to consider the purpose of the room: for the bathroom, it is better to choose microcement with enhanced moisture protection, and for the living room, you can focus on the decorative properties.

Another important aspect is the quality of the material. There are many types of microcement on the market, and not all of them are equally reliable. We recommend choosing products from trusted manufacturers who guarantee the durability and stability of the coating. Our company works only with certified materials, which allows us to provide a guarantee for the work performed.

Features of applying microcement

Applying microcement is a process that requires a professional approach. Here are the main stages:

1. Surface preparation. The surface must be clean, dry and smooth. We use mechanized grinding machines to remove the old coating and level the base.

2. Primer. A special primer improves the adhesion of microcement to the surface, preventing peeling.

3. Applying microcement. The material is applied in several layers using a spatula or special equipment. Each layer must dry completely before applying the next one.

4. Finishing. After drying, microcement is covered with a protective varnish, which makes the surface resistant to moisture, scratches and dirt.

Mechanized repair allows you to speed up this process and achieve the perfect result. For example, we use sprayers to evenly apply primer and varnish, which reduces the risk of streaks or unevenness.

Microcement is a stylish solution for a modern home

Microcement is a universal material that combines practicality, durability and aesthetics.
