Microcement works and renovations: 35 reasons to trust in it

Next, we tell you some of the main reasons why renovations with microcement are carried out much faster than using other materials to carry them out:

1. The microcement has great workability

Microcement is a mixture of cement and finely ground sand, with a very consistent granulometry, making it very easy to mix and work with. This will allow professional applicators to work at a high speed.

2. It does not require a base to work with it

It does not require a previously built concrete base, which significantly reduces the time and cost of the renovation. The microcement is applied directly to the area to be covered.

3. It's a very portable material

Microcement is much lighter than concrete, making it easier to transport and handle. This greatly facilitates transport tasks for professionals in charge of carrying out the renovation or construction.

4. The microcement mixes easily

It does not require large amounts of water for its mixing, which also reduces the time and cost of the renovation. In fact, with just the help of an electric mixer, spectacular mixes can be achieved.

5. The microcement and its great adhesion

Once applied, the microcement adheres very well to the surface, which allows renovations to be faster and more efficient because, at first, the material will adhere to the support or surface.

6. Works and renovations that are going to last

Microcement is a very resistant material, which allows renovations to be carried out in a way that they are more durable afterwards and do not require subsequent repair or restoration over time.

7. Construction and renovations with the exact amount of material

It does not require large amounts of materials for its application, which also reduces the cost of the renovation. In fact, with a 20 kg bucket, a large part of the surface can be covered.

8. Extreme versatility

Microcement is a very versatile material, which allows it to easily adapt to different surfaces and shapes, without the need to resort to other materials or tools, other than a trowel, or, very importantly, other types of professionals who are not specialized applicators.

9. It's easily protected

El microcemento se protege de una manera muy fácil. De hecho, durante el proceso de aplicación, el último paso es el que corresponde al sellado. Este consisten en aplicar el barniz sellador, lo que basta para protegerlo. Al realizarse de forma muy rápida se ahorra tiempo y costes en la reforma.

10. Coating of maximum precision

Microcement is a very thin and light layer which allows it to be easily applied and achieve maximum precision to achieve the desired finishes in a short time.

11. The labour required is very small

This coating does not require excessive labour for its application. It will also depend on the square footage to be covered and the difficulty of the work but, in general, few professional applicators are needed to successfully carry out works and renovations. This significantly reduces the cost of the renovation.

12. A material with a unique drying speed

Microcement dries quickly, allowing renovations to be carried out more swiftly. This is because each application generally requires a couple of layers of microcement, which will dry quickly in order to continue the construction or renovation.

:13. No machinery is needed to apply it

Microcement does not require large machinery for its application, which also reduces the cost of the renovation. In fact, an electric mixer is more than enough to mix its components, in case it was necessary to do so.

14. Resists moisture

In a construction or renovation with microcement, it is necessary to check if there is humidity in the area to be applied and, if so, attempts should be made to repair it. If it cannot be done, by placing the appropriate product, the microcement can begin to be applied. This guarantees the success and settling of the mortar.

15. Requires very few products

Microcement only requires primers and sealers to complete a successful application. With just these three products, an application can be carried out under normal conditions, which also helps to reduce the cost of the renovation.

16. It has great resistance to abrasion

Microcement is a material highly resistant to abrasion, which allows the surfaces that are applied not to deteriorate over time and do not have to be reformed again.

17. It is applied manually

Thus, in this way, microcement applications do not require large amounts of electrical energy for their application, which also reduces the cost of the renovation.

18. The microcement is fire resistant

Microcement is a practically fireproof material, which allows renovations to be carried out more safely because fire will not spread on its surfaces, damaging entire rooms.

19. It is easily stored

Another great feature of microcement is that it does not require large amounts of storage space, which also reduces the cost of the renovation as it prevents us from having to rent extra space to leave the buckets that contain the product.

20. It's a very sustainable material

Microcement is a very eco-friendly material, as it is made up of ingredients or components that come from nature itself. In addition, during its application, natural resources are not consumed and, moreover, few energy resources. Thus we have works and renovations that are more respectful of the environment.

21. It is easily cleaned up after finishing works or renovations

It does not require large amounts of water for cleaning, which also reduces the cost of construction and renovations.

22. Resists impacts like no other

Microcement is a very impact-resistant material, which allows once the surface is reformed to withstand any impact that may occur. This will make the surfaces much more durable.

23. It is easily maintained

Microcement does not require large amounts of detergent for cleaning, which also reduces the cost of the renovation. Just with water and soap, the applied surfaces can be rinsed once the work or renovation is finished.

24. It is resistant to stains

Microcement is a material highly resistant to stains, which allows renovations to be carried out more efficiently since if any appear, they are easily cleaned. This reduces the times.

25. The time of an application is minimal

If not considering repairs or drying times, microcement is a very easy-to-apply construction material, so each construction or renovation, from the initial moment to the end of the application, takes relatively little time. This speeds up the processes and reduces the costs of the renovation.

26. It can be applied at many different temperatures

Microcement is a coating that can be applied between 15ºC and 25ºC, which allows it to be applied almost anywhere in the world at any time of the year, both indoors and outdoors.

27. It is a material that causes little harm

Microcement is a very safe material, as it adheres to surfaces very efficiently and, in addition, it is lightweight, so it is not going to come off and damage the professionals in charge of the application.

28. It is a material that does not generate debris

This is the differential advantage over other materials in the sector as it ensures that renovations and works will be carried out much faster and, also, in a much cleaner way. It should be noted that with microcement, no rubble is generated nor is there a need to deal with the removal of this at the end of the process.

29. Thanks to its mixing, times are accelerated

That's right. It is one of the reasons why its application is very simple and fast, as it is a premixed material that only requires a small amount of water for its activation.

30. It dries in record time

Once applied, the microcement dries in a few hours, allowing renovations to be carried out much more quickly and efficiently and users can enjoy their spaces in record time, in the case of renovations, compared to other materials or coatings.

31. Achievement of desired designs quickly

Microcement allows for the creation of countless designs and finishes, making it ideal for personalizing any space to the fullest in a very quick way. To this, it should be added that its final appearance is very similar to that of stone or cement, but with a much more refined and elegant finish.

32. Does not require structural reinforcements

Being a very light material, microcement is ideal for installation on walls and ceilings, as it does not require any type of structural reinforcement.

33. Very good quality/price ratio

Microcement is a very economical material, as its price is very competitive compared to other materials with similar finishes and resistances and other technical qualities that are different and inferior to those of microcement.

34. Just remove objects from the area to start

Under normal conditions, to start a construction or renovation with microcement, it is only necessary to remove the objects that are in the area to be applied or its immediate surroundings. If the support was damaged, it would indeed be necessary to repair it.

35. It does not fade

Microcement is a material that does not fade even when exposed to the sun, so, in outdoor applications, between waiting for drying times, the mortar or material will not lose an iota of its initial color.
