In Luxury Concrete® we detail what are the 8 basic steps to follow in the renovation of tiles with microcement to achieve the purest and absolute success throughout the process. Take note and start the path to the most exclusive and exquisite renovations of any room.
To ensure a completely successful application, the first basic and essential step is to check the substrate for any imperfections. If this is the case, it will be necessary to repair the substrate before laying microcement. Here lies the importance of having a professional capable of locating these flaws.
It is really important to carry out a thorough cleaning of the tiles to remove any traces of grease and dust, and then check that they are dry.
After cleaning, it will be necessary to fill the natural joints of the tiles to ensure the stability of the substrate and to avoid the formation of unevenness that will slightly mark the joints.
With the joints filled and the surface stabilized, the next step is to apply the primer that will form the adhesion bridge between the substrate and the microcement. In Luxury Concrete® we have designed our Primacete® range, a line of high quality primers that work as promoters for the tital and absolute adhesion of microcement on tiles.
After allowing the appropriate drying time according to the chosen primer, a fiberglass mesh will be placed in the first layer of the microcement base over tiles. This will protect the coating and prevent the appearance of cracks and crevices..
Right after that, the first layer of our unpigmented microcement base coat will be applied over the tiles. We must make sure that they are well covered and without irregularities. Then, the substrate is sanded.
Pigmented with the chosen tonality that will impregnate of colour the coated surfaces. Afterwards, sand again.
Depending on the finishes, tastes and preferences that are pursued with the application of microcement over tiles, it will be possible to make diverse and personalized combinations that impregnate rooms with character and exquisiteness. Afterwards, sand.
This is one of the most important steps, because protecting the coating will ensure its proper condition over time, maintain its brightness and intensity and keep intact all its properties. For this, it will be necessary to apply two coats of Luxury Concrete® products to seal and protect the microcement over tiles in a total and guaranteed way.
Achieving luxury results, characterized by distinction and exquisiteness, is not difficult when the project is in the hands of a qualified professional in the field. Achieving success is simple, but it is also important not to make easily avoidable mistakes both before and during the application of microcement over tiles.
Take note of these recommendations and transform the surfaces of bathrooms and kitchens opening the doors to a world of options and properties full of designs with which to achieve a high decorative value in outstanding rooms is more within your reach than ever.
It is essential to follow precisely the indications and drying times indicated in the technical data sheets of the individual products. Otherwise, humidity will be trapped and will cause the tile joints to be marked. This is one of the most common faults when applying microcement on tiles, but also one of the easiest to avoid.
Although not mandatory, it is an optimal way for the professional to ensure a reduction in the chances of marking the joints by a failure in the application of microcement over tiles.
And, in addition, 24 hours after applying the first coat, the microcement should be primed again.
A recommendation especially aimed at the most experienced applicators that will respond as a guarantee of success to equalize the level of absorption of the next layers of microcement over tiles. This equality will reflect a noticeable reduction of visual marks caused by joints with different absorption sources.
