Over the past 5 years, Industrial, HighTech, Loft and similar styles have been considered among the most popular interior styles. On the one hand, it is simplicity, on the other – style and novelty.
Of course, all these styles cannot be created without materials such as micro concrete or micro cement and plaster. If we have been familiar with the latter material for a very long time, then the former is a novelty in the construction market. Therefore, in our article we will talk about micro–concrete - a finishing material of a new generation.
What is a micro-concrete?Micro concrete is a thin–layer finishing material based on cement, which includes various fillers, such as polymers, ultrathin fillers, pigment and other additives.
Micro concrete can be used on wall, floor and ceiling surfaces. This material is not afraid of moisture, so it is ideal for finishing bathrooms and other rooms with high humidity.
Also, a distinctive feature of micro concrete is high adhesion, thanks to which its service life becomes very, very long. By the way, the material can be applied not only on concrete, but also on other mineral surfaces, on plaster, gypsum plaster and drywall, as well as on painted surfaces (provided that the paint layer is smooth and durable).
What are the advantages of using micro-concrete?
Micro–concrete is a thin-layer coating with a width of application from 2 mm to 4 mm.
Therefore, it will not reduce the volume of the room.
Micro concrete is a wear-resistant and durable coating that is not afraid of mechanical damage, such as scratches and bumps, unlike tiles or laminate.
This material can be applied over the old coating, which significantly saves repair time and costs.
You can add a special dye to the micro-concrete and get any desired shade for your interior.
Also, micro concrete is a waterproof material, so it has a very wide scope of application.
Which manufacturer's micro-concrete should I choose?
When choosing a manufacturer of micro concrete and the material itself, first of all pay attention to the following technical characteristics:
Adhesion: at least 1 N/mm2;
Heat resistance: depending on the place where the material will be used;
Strength: about 15 N/mm2 and above.
