Microcement Wall Kit Our micro cement wall kit is a synergistic coating system that can create durable minimalist, raw-concrete effect feature walls. Our micro cement finish is not only flexible, seamless, versatile, with a tactile finish but is also highly resistant to abrasion and staining. Micro cement coatings are ideal for interior walls in kitchens and living rooms, bathrooms and even in shower cubicles. If you're looking for a complete wall and floor system, please see our Microcement Floor and Wall Kit. This kit can also help you to address possible movement and cracks as the base coat and mesh creates a resilient, even more flexible coating. On the other hand, if you only need better-than-average durability, but not complete a completely watertight coating, then see our Beton Cire. If you want to create a Metallic oxidised look to Microcement, you can use Roxidan. The kit also comes with the 'ART' heavy-duty protector that gives the micro cement not only greater impact resistance, but will also make the finish more resistant to hot and cold liquids. If you’d like to test the quality of our microcement check out our Microcement Sample kit you will be able to cover roughly 0.5msq. For more information about Microcement, please click here to access our FAQs. Microcement Colours The colours and the look can be tailored to suit any design; you can also select from 20 carefully selected contemporary colours from our "Colours of Britain" range which can be further modified to an almost infinite number of shades (for bespoke colours please call or email us). The colours presented on our site are as close to the real ones as possible and show the look of the real finish, which is another distinctive advantage of our site and system. For a complete list of numbers and respective names of microcement colours please click on the 'Specifications and Application' tab. To see how surfaces decorated with microcement look, like, visit our dedicated design page! Tools for Micro Cement To achieve a compact polished concrete or cement look our micro cement should be applied by a plastic trowel (if you'd like to see little or no 'movement') or a Venetian plastering trowel. (for a compressed smooth polished concrete look that is more 'dramatic') Our protectors, applied by roller, which come in satin or gloss ensure that you can enjoy this finish for many years to come. For the waxed concrete look finishes see our Beton Cire Kit with stunning finishes. If you'd like to see all the micro cement colours in a pdf chart then please click on the link.

Trivia A variation of micro cement was and is still used by the British shipbuilding industry to coat steel ships’ nails to increase their corrosion protection. Click here to see the FAQQ: Is this micro cement finish waterproof? Can it withstand a constant flow of water? A: Yes, you can apply it anywhere where it could get in contact with water; if applied and protected correctly it needs very little maintenance and is completely waterproof. Please be aware that a lot relies on the applicator's skill and knowledge as the protective coatings need to be applied with care. · Q: Can you apply this coating on mosaics or tiles? A: Yes, but please use Pro Link instead of Atomo a primer. · Q: Can I apply this micro cement on floors? A: Yes, but please use the complete Microcement floor and wall kit as the anti-crack coating is also needed for that purpose! · Q: How strong is this micro cement? Can it be scratched? A: With enough force and hard enough tools anything can be scratched, but this micro cement can be applied and specified for private and commercial projects and it will create a strong, seamless coating that lasts. · Q: Would I be able to mix the A and B components of the resin or the sealer in a plastic container? A: Yes, you can, but make sure that you stay within the workability limit (cca 1 hour) and apply it as soon as possible after it has been properly mixed. · Q: Can you tell me about the colour resistancy and accuracy? A: Our 15 shades of Britain are very accurate and resistant · Q: Would I be able to leave out some parts of the system and still get the same quality finish with the same resistance and look? A: Please don't change or leave out parts of the advised method as these will change and weaken the micro cement wall system. · Q: Can we paint a micro cement wall? A: Yes, after sanding and priming you should be able to paint or plaster it. We suggest using our Atomo before any other primer. · Q: Can I apply a micro cement finish as a DIY with no or very little knowledge? A: Unfortunately, as of 2018 there's no micro cement coating on the market that would be a DIY finish. You should have the necessary experience and/or training if you'd like to apply it! · Q: How long does this microcement remain usable? A: Unmixed, the shelf life is 2+ years, except the powder which retains it's quality for 3+ years.
