WHERE NATURE MEETS CRAFT - PORTLAND'S FIRST - AND ONLY - MICROCEMENT APPLICATOR, EDUCATOR AND SUPPLIER.

Yes, any of the different CimentArt products can be applied outdoors, on walls, ceilings or floors. The exception is over paving where the temperatures are too low, on the winter and mostly where snow can get accumulated for several days (i.e. terraces that are exposed to the environment and do not have any ceiling or covers): We do not recommend for 2 reasons: the surfaces where the Microcement is going to be applied, suffer of dilatation and contraction because of the changes of temperature, because there is a possibility of breaking and the fissure may be visible on the Microcement. The second reason is because the last protection layer of polyurethane varnish can be affected or even damaged if exposed several days to snow, ice or water.

Of course, Microcement can be applied over a countertop; the important part is that the base, if it’s wood or MDF, should be completely waterproof. If the countertop is made of two pieces (because its length is too long) the joint should be stable. Marble, stone, granite, a countertop made of bricks and cement can be used as a surface for Microcement. Once the Microcement coating is completed over the countertop, the only cautions that must be taken are the same that you would have with a wooden countertop: it should not be used as a cutting board and avoid placing hot pots or pans directly on the Microcement.

Microcement can be applied over any kind of surface, which is normally use in the construction of houses, either indoors or outdoors. Some examples of absorbent surfaces where Microcement can be applied: Plaster Caulk Cement coat Concrete Pladur Facades monolayer mortar Examples of non-absorbent or low-absorbing substrates where the microcement can be applied: Tiles Glazed stoneware Clay pottery Porcelain stoneware Wood Paint Is the Microcement for any support? If, however, it is possible by applying a primer coat, which is key to getting a good micro-cement job: Leaves a more aesthetic finish It is much more durable Ensures and guarantees that it does not come off substrate Facilitates application The Primer helps the microcement to adhere more easily.

Yes, it is possible thanks to an adherent primer layer which is key to obtain a good application of microcement: It allows a very aesthetics finishing It last longer Ensures and guarantees that it doesn’t peel off the surface Facilitates the application A primer enhances the adherence of the microcement to the surface.
