What Surfaces Can Microcement Be Applied On?

Microcement is a highly versatile coating material that can be applied to a wide variety of surfaces, both horizontal and vertical, due to its excellent adhesion properties. Here are the most common surfaces suitable for application:

CONCRETE:
Adheres well after proper priming and surface preparation.

CEMENT:
Common in new construction; ideal for floors and walls.

PLASTIC (some types):
Certain plastics can work, but they must be tested for adhesion and properly primed.

LAMINATE:
It requires proper preparation, such as cleaning and ensuring the laminate is stable.

TILES:
You can apply microcement directly over tiles, as long as the existing tile surface is sound, clean, and level.

WOOD, MDF, Plywood, ETC:
proper preparation is crucial to prevent movement and ensure proper adhesion. The wood must be stable and sealed to prevent moisture or resin release from the wood impacting the microcement coating

TERRAZZO:
microcement can be applied directly over a terrazzo surface, provided the terrazzo is level, clean, dry, and free of dirt. A specific primer is required to promote adhesion because terrazzo is a non-absorbent material.

MARBLE:
Microcement can be applied directly over a marble surface, provided the marble is level, clean, dry, and free of dirt. A specific primer is required to promote adhesion because marble is a non-absorbent material.

PLASTERBOARD or PLASTER:
Proper surface preparation is crucial for a successful application. The plasterboard must be well-fixed, level, and free of imperfections, and may require a suitable primer to ensure proper adhesion

SELF-LEVELLING SCREED:
Proper preparation of the screed is crucial. The screed needs to be thoroughly dry and structurally sound before microcement application.

BRICK:
Microcement’s versatility allows it to be applied over various substrates, including brick, making it a popular choice for both interior and exterior application.
