Everyone has long known the material – decorative plaster or a novelty in the construction industry – micro cement. We will tell you what to choose and why in our article.
What is decorative plaster and micro cement?
Both micro cement and decorative plaster are cement–based materials that are used for decorative finishing of vertical and horizontal surfaces.
Decorative plaster is a material that has been produced and used for many, many years by masters of the construction industry in different parts of the earth, and micro cement is considered an innovation in this industry and is only gaining popularity. For example, in Ukraine, designers are just beginning to use micro-cement in their projects, but in European countries it has been actively used for no more than the last decade.
With the help of micro-concrete, you can give the surface the appearance of travertine, and with the help of decorative plaster – decorative stone.
What are the features of micro-cement?
Micro-cement is distinguished by its high quality and adhesion to many surfaces.
For example, micro-cement can be applied to surfaces such as concrete, cement, plaster, drywall, and some types of micro-concrete also hold perfectly on metal, tile and plastic surfaces. Such high adhesion is due to special chemical additives in the composition of micro-cement.
By the way, this material can be found both under the name micro cement and under the name micro concrete. These are completely identical materials.
Of the important advantages of micro-cement, a thin layer of application to the surface and the possibility of applying the material to the old facing coating should be highlighted.
