However, in general terms, the application of microcement on floors and walls is as follows:
- Condition the work surface, lay the mesh and apply the primer or adhesion promoter.
- Apply two coats of preparatory or base microcement, on a mesh, which will serve as a substrate for the finishing microcement.
- Next, apply two coats of finishing microcement. This is the one that combines the desired texture and colour, giving the final appearance to the surface.
- Finally, to protect the microcement, apply two coats of Presealer and two coats of Topsealer
