How to Apply Micro Concrete
Surface Preparation
Ensure the surface is dry, clean, and free from grease or dirt. For metal surfaces prone to corrosion, clean and coat them before application.
Mixing
Micro concrete is easier to mix than traditional concrete. Use a mixing vessel or mix by hand, adhering to a ratio of 1:8 of water to micro concrete. Gradually stir the mixture until a serviceable mix is achieved.
Pouring
Once mixed, pour micro concrete immediately to prevent it from drying. Quick pouring ensures the ideal consistency and flow during application. Smooth the mixture with appropriate tools before allowing it to dry.
Micro Concrete Application Steps
Clean the Surface
Ensure the surface is free from dust, stains, and particles. Check and address any humidity issues.
Apply Primer
Use an appropriate primer to enhance adhesion between the existing surface and micro concrete.
First Layer
Apply the first layer of an unpigmented micro concrete base, optionally using a fiberglass mesh to minimize future cracks.
Second Layer
After drying, apply a second coat of pigmented micro concrete base in the desired color.
Finishing Layers
Apply two layers of finishing micro concrete for the desired texture and finish.
Protective Coating
Apply two coats of sealant to protect and waterproof the micro concrete floor, achieving a non-slip finish.
Applications of Micro Concrete: Enhancing Interior and Exterior Surfaces
It allows the creation of seamless surfaces for residential and commercial indoor and outdoor walls, floors, ceilings, and furniture.
It is an upcoming décor trend as part of commercial design for internal and external surfaces of showrooms, studios, and offices.
For its unique qualities, it can be utilized for a variety of interior applications, including floors, furniture, ceilings, and staircases.
FAQ's
Micro concrete is versatile and suitable for both horizontal and vertical surfaces, indoors and outdoors. It is commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, stairs, and even swimming pools. However, it cannot be applied on wooden surfaces.
No, micro concrete is not inherently waterproof, but it is water-resistant. When applied with a sealant, it can achieve water resistance. The sealant enhances its water-resisting properties, making micro concrete both water-resistant and highly durable.
Micro concrete is typically applied in thin layers due to its decorative nature. The ideal thickness of a micro concrete layer ranges from 2mm to 3mm.
Yes, micro concrete is compatible with underfloor heating systems. Its thin layer allows for efficient heat transfer, making it suitable for use on heated floors in various settings.
The drying time of micro concrete depends on factors such as temperature and humidity. Generally, it takes approximately 24 to 48 hours for micro concrete to dry completely before it can be sealed or further processed.
