On what surfaces can microcement be applied?

The decorative solutions for microcement are endless. That's why its uses are so varied. From microcement staircases or microcement pools to microcement-coated furniture.

Although the quintessential use of microcement is on floors and walls in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces such as terraces. Learn about the types of surfaces to which microcement can be applied below:

Microcement on concrete

When applying microcement on concrete surfaces, it's important to distinguish between new concrete and old concrete. In the case of newly applied concrete surfaces, it's essential to ensure that they are well cured and free of dust and particles.

For old concrete surfaces, it's essential to repair cracks and level the surface before applying microcement.

Microcement on Tiles

Microcement can be applied over tiles and is often done during renovations where removing the tiles would take additional time and money.

While joint filling may be necessary, microcement can adhere very well even to non-porous surfaces with the right primer.

Microcement on Wood

Various types of wood can also be coated with microcement, provided it is well-set and dry. The appropriate primer should be used before application, and any imperfections should be repaired.

Microcement on Drywall (Plasterboard)

As with other surfaces, microcement can be applied directly over drywall after ensuring proper surface preparation and priming.

It can be applied over both new and old drywall, as long as the instructions are followed to ensure proper adhesion.

Microcement on Plaster

Different types of plaster require different preparations, especially if it's decorative plaster.

Depending on the surface texture or any protection previously used, the substrate should be prepared and primed according to professional instructions to avoid any negative effects it may have on the material's adhesion.

Microcement on Cement Boards

Microcement can also be applied directly over fiber cement boards, as long as the appropriate primer is used.

Microcement on Stone

It is important to distinguish between natural and artificial stone when applying microcement, as natural stone may require more extensive preparation if it has loose parts or flakes, which must be removed before applying the primer.

Artificial stones should be prepared similarly with microcement applicators, ensuring a clean and stable surface for application.

Existing Coatings

Microcement can also be applied over any existing coating, such as painted or varnished surfaces, with proper preparation.

Parquet or wood flooring underlayments are not suitable, as their movements can be transmitted to the surface. For this reason, they must be removed beforehand.
