Application Tutorial for Microcement Synergy
CAUTION: Kerdi Foam board is not compatible with our Microcement system. These boards are generally too flexible for larger walls and have limited impact resistance for thin veneer coatings. We recommend Densglass, Blue Aqua Board, and Hardi Backer board as the three best options for backing. We recommend the use of Ardex 8 + 9 waterproofing due to its strength and crack prevention and limited risk of delamination. Always prime your walls with our leplex primer prior to installing Ardex 8 + 9 to ensure a clean cohesive bond without any dust acting as a bond breaker. DO NOT use kerdi sheet membranes on floors or walls as they delaminate easily and have bubbles and other risks that are not compatible with our Microcement System.
Our Microcement Wall plaster is developed with the latest in polymer admixture technologies all blended with high quality white cement, marble flour and graded silicas. This line of plaster comes in a white basecoat and a fine and x-fine topcoat grade that are useful in creating polished or medium texture finishes. These also come in a light gray meant to mimic the natural look of light concrete, and a white base that can be colored with our powder tints.
This line of plaster is more easy to work with and is applied more like our venetian plasters and does not have a liquid or more fluid consistency. In order to achieve this the plaster psi strength is decreased and should not be used on floors or countertops etc. Our Microcement wall can be used on interior walls and exterior walls and especially shower stalls or ceilings where a more workable plaster is required. Microcement should be applied in a minimum of 3 coats over our interior or exterior supplied quartz stone primer, ardex p82, or epoxy primers for exteriors etc. This product is strong, highly modified, and comes in a dry bag mix that does not require any additives other than water. Do not use on horizontal surfaces, only for vertical areas.
Recommended for areas that are stable, sound and not flexible with moving joints.
Recommended for commercial and residential shower walls, ceilings, fireplaces, backsplashes etc. This product replaces the need for tiles.
Recommended Dry Time: Always allow each coat to dry min 10 hrs prior to overcoating, and allow Polyseal at least 12 hrs prior to overcoating with Poly wb or Hi wear.
