The fundamental foundation of microcement is the most important factor in the durability, beauty and durability of microcement implementation

Why is the substructure vital in microcement?

Microcement is a thin coating (2 to 3 mm).

This means 👇

If the bottom layer has a problem, all that problem is transferred to the final layer ⚠️

Proper infrastructure will:

Don't create cracks ❌

The surface should not peel ❌

Keep the color uniform.

The duration of implementation is guaranteed for several years 🕒

For this reason, in professional implementation, the infrastructure occupies more than 50% of the project time.

initial inspection of the surface; The first and most important step

Before doing anything, the surface should be carefully checked 🔍

Things to check:

Existence of active or inactive crack

Dandruff, humidity or moisture

Looseness of the surface

balance difference

Substrate material (concrete, cement, tile, plaster, etc.)

⚠️ Applying microcement on an unstable surface = failure of the project

What steps does microcement standard infrastructure include?

Step 1: Cleaning and surface preparation

Level should:

Free from dust 🧹

Without fat and oily substances

No peeling paint

At this stage sometimes need:

Sabzani

Wash it

Primary repair

There is.

Step 2: repairing cracks and defects

All cracks (even small cracks) must be repaired 🧱

Basic method:

Open crack

Filling with restorative mortar

Using concrete glue or resin

❌ Not filling the crack = cracking of microcement in the future

Step 3: Implementation of specialized primer

Primer is the bridge between the surface and microcement 🔗

Primer duties:

Increase adhesion

Uniform surface absorption

Preventing the separation of layers

The type of primer is different depending on the surface:

Primer for concrete

Tile primer

plaster primer

anti-moisture primer

Step 4: Implementation of fiberglass mesh (critical step)

🚨 The most important part of infrastructure is this stage.

Fiberglass mesh:

Diffuses tensions

Prevents hair cracks

multiplies the strength of the final layer

❌ Remove the mesh = definitely leave in the future

(This mistake is very common in non-professional performances)

Step 5: smoothing layer and final leveling

At this stage:

Unevennesses are removed

The surface is completely leveled

A suitable substrate is created for the implementation of microcement

✨ The result: a surface ready for professional performance

The difference between microcement foundation on the floor, wall and ceiling

Floor infrastructure

The floor bears the most pressure 👣

Features of floor substructure:

High strength

Exact alignment

Reinforced mesh

Special attention to expansion joints

The smallest fault in the floor will become very clear later ⚠️

Wall infrastructure

On the wall:

Hair cracks are very common

Mesh plays a vital role

Uniformity of the surface is important

Principle implementation causes:

Don't cast a shadow

Don't create a wave

The final color should be seen beautifully 🎨

Roof infrastructure

The ceiling is the most difficult part of the performance 😮

Challenges:

Gravity

dropping

Structural cracks

Here only professional team can give standard result.

Microcement foundation on different surfaces

Implementation of microcement on ceramic tiles

✔️ is possible

❌ Without proper infrastructure = disaster

Specific steps:

Roughening the surface

Special primer

Double mesh in the seams

Implementation of microcement on plaster

Surface plaster is sensitive ⚠️

Execution condition:

Completely dry plaster

Isolated primer

Remove weak points

Common mistakes in microcement infrastructure ❌

🚫 removal of fiberglass mesh

🚫 Fast execution without drying time

🚫 Use of inappropriate primer

🚫 Running on a wet surface

🚫 Seeing the floor and the wall the same way

These mistakes usually show themselves after a few months 😔

Why is Decamo Cement's professional infrastructure different?

The difference between professional and ordinary performance is exactly here 👇

✔️ Detailed examination of the level before the contract

✔️ Selection of material suitable for the project

✔️ Full implementation of all infrastructure steps

✔️ Not removing any step to reduce cost

🎯 Result: lasting and effortless performance

Final summary

If you only remember one thing from this article, it will be this:

Good microcement starts with a good foundation.

Basic infrastructure means: ✅ high durability

✅ Lasting beauty

✅ no cracks and crusts

✅ real satisfaction of the employer

And this is exactly where a professional implementation makes sense ✨
