Stonecem® is our exclusive line of imprinted mortars for interior and exterior. High-performance decorative mortars designed for the application of imprinted concrete and vertical imprinted concrete.

Products that provide textured finishes in the renovation not only of imprinted concrete, but also on other materials such as natural stone and concrete. Imprinted mortars that guarantee high quality finishes, durability and easy maintenance.

They present a matte finish and a non-slip texture on the pavements and facades where they are used as a decorative element. Thanks to their high resistances and hardness, they are ideal imprinted mortars for sidewalks, bike lanes and pedestrian paths, parking lots, sports areas, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, common areas such as swimming pools, etc.

Color hardeners that cannot be applied on surfaces previously painted with other systems such as plastic paints, epoxies, polyurethanes or varnishes. In the case of wanting to do so, it would be necessary to remove the previous coating completely.

How to apply the Stonecem® Floor imprinted mortar

1. Sprinkle the Stonecem® Floor imprinted mortar (from 4 Kg/m² for dark colors up to 6 Kg/m² for light colors), once the exudation water has completely evaporated from the concrete.

2. Apply 2/3 of the specified amount of the product and introduce it using a trowel on the concrete floor or wall.

3. Pour the rest of the imprinted mortar and trowel again until the desired finish is achieved.

4. Smooth the surface with a steel trowel until there are no porosities. Then, go over with an edging trowel so that no chipping appears.

5. When the imprinted mortar has set, check that the surface has a firm but not hard appearance and that, above all, it is free of water.

6. Next, apply our release agent for imprinted concrete Desmocem® Powder or Desmocem® Liquid (see proportions in technical sheet). We advise using the first one, except on inclined surfaces or indoor areas.

7. When the release agent is applied, stamp the imprinted pavement or vertical imprinted concrete with the IMACEM® molds. In the case of using liquid release agent, the molds must be completely clean and previously impregnated.

8. The placement of the mold for imprinted concrete must be consecutive and follow the continuity of the pieces. Then, step on it.

9. At least 48 hours later, remove the chosen release agent for imprinted concrete and clean the surface as appropriate (see technical sheet).

10. Once the surface is completely dry, we will protect the surface with two coats of one of our imprinted concrete varnishes Sealcem®. Allow to dry and harden for 3 days, before use.
