Using microconcrete for finishing rooms and premises

Nowadays, micro-concrete mixtures are gaining huge popularity around the world not only due to their high-quality and strength characteristics, but also the ability to create unique coatings with author's elements with their help. Let's take a closer look at this type of coating.

The main components of the micro concrete mixture are cement and fine marble chips, additional elements may be polymer components, color pigments and other additives. The mixtures are supplied in dry form, and preparation for application is carried out immediately before application to the surface. The result is a very durable coating that is practically resistant to mechanical influences.

Unlike micro-cement, which contains quartz filler instead of marble chips, micro-concrete on the surface is practically indistinguishable from a marble slab, which gives it a noble appearance. It is also worth understanding that with the help of micro concrete, smooth and smooth surfaces are created, devoid of seams, while the finished surface stands out with smooth color transitions and a light texture. Everything in place creates a calm and light atmosphere in the room, ideal for creating industrial-style or "Loft" interiors.

The use of micro concrete for the floor (Granito Floor) and for walls (Granito Wall) has become so widespread that even now it creates competition even for such rather expensive materials as marble or porcelain stoneware. And in order not to be unfounded, let's look at all the advantages of this coating.
 

The versatility of the use of micro concrete is manifested in the ability to apply it to almost any type of surface. Excellent adhesion gives excellent adhesion to other materials, and it can be applied even on uneven, radius surfaces. In some cases, it is used as a basis for creating mosaic floors, covering sinks in bathrooms.
 

The high strength and resistance to wear of Granito Floor micro concrete allows it to be used as a finishing layer even for surfaces with high cross-country ability, to use it for finishing stairs, as an alternative solution to tile coverings, without joints and seams. The degree of moisture resistance is not inferior to the tile coating, while it has high impact strength and is vapor permeable. Such surfaces can be washed with water with neutral detergents, but exclude the use of abrasive elements.


 

The unique surface structure of Granito Wall is achieved by applying three layers. The first as a primer gives excellent adhesion to the surface, the second is decorative, forms a structure and pattern, the third protects the surface from abrasion and moisture penetration. The use of paint pigments when mixing the solution will help to add variety, which will create surface shades for every taste.
 

The ease of use and application of the solution allows you to significantly save time, and special and complex tools are not required for work. In practice, this gives us about 50 m2 of finished surface in one working day. Yes, the material is applied exclusively by hand, but in this way we get a unique and unique surface. Granito Floor has a self-leveling property, so it will perfectly eliminate all the disadvantages of the surface.
 

The waterproofing qualities of the surface of micro concrete are obtained due to the smallest particles of cement in the mixture, and hence the popularity of its use for finishing the kitchen, bathroom and other rooms with high humidity. And thanks to the seamless coating of the surface, the possibility of dirt accumulation or fungus formation is eliminated, which is not excluded when using tile materials. For absolute protection from humidity, the surface of the micro concrete is coated with a protective polyurethane varnish.
 

Simple surface preparation. It should be dry, durable and clean. If there are cracks or cavities on it, they must be sealed beforehand with a suitable repair compound Teknorep 300 or Teknorep 300 EX.
 

The use of micro concrete opens up limitless possibilities for architects and designers, realizing the dreams of customers with the most interesting ideas. It is worth noting that each new surface when using micro concrete will be unique, with an individual pattern for each centimeter of the coating.
