Microconcrete
Microconcrete is best known an alternative to tiles when it comes to places in permanent contact with water, such as pools and bathroom floors. Applied as a plaster,it will develop to to be an extremely hard and durable material that can withstand scrubbing and polishings. With customizable colours and textures, it allows the realization of seamless organic-shaped pools. Being acid and salt resistant, it is guaranteed to last at least 15 years.
ORIGIn of MICROCONCRETE
Microconcrete comes all the way from Spain, manufactured in the same factory that produces special cement for building bridges.
It is made up of cement, silica sands, special additives and resins.
Microconcrete is gaining popularity in Spain, where it originates from, in high end residential and commercial properties themed around Mediterranean style.
MICROCONCRETE Application PROCESS
The microconcrete system begins with the application of an advanced kind of cementitious waterproofing membrane that has osmotic and crystallisation properties.
​
Following up will be the application of the microconcrete mortar with a trowel, in 2 or 3 coats, with compression.
​
A few days later, when the mortar has set, it is ready to be polished. With the use of iron or diamond polishing disc and a grinder, we wet polish it to specification.
​
The magic happens in the polishing. The more the material is polished, the harder and more vitrified the surface gets, protecting the layers below from corrosion and water ingress.
​
For dry area such as countertops or balcony floors, we can apply a water & oil repelling impregnating sealer to enhance its performance!
BENEFITS of MICROCONCRETE
Durability
Microconcrete is acid, salt resistant and possess superior hardness due to the aggregates inside, making it a superb choice for horizontal surfaces where high wear and tear is expected, or where water is constantly present
​
Aesthetic Versatility
Microconcrete allows the realization of having seamless organic surfaces. It can also be color customised and varied in texture.
​
Waterproof
Microconcrete system employs the use of a cementitious membrane with osmotic and crystallization properties. Simply, the waterproofing membrane has self-repair capabilities to enables it to be reliable water barrier.
​
Easy to Maintain
In the world of decorative seamless finishes, microconcrete is one those that can take abuse. It can be scrubbed without worry of peeling. Due to its thickness of about 8-10mm and high hardness, it is possible to even re-polish if needed!
