Phase 1: preliminary project and planning
The main objective of this renovation was to completely redesign the home’s layout. With a medium-low budget, the aim was to transform the “seventies” style beach apartment into a modern space offering greater comfort.
The renovation included resizing rooms, adding new windows, demolishing and erecting walls, and applying new coverings. This process enhanced the functionality and comfort of the space, aligning it with a modern and practical lifestyle.
Phase 2: surface preparation, supports, and coating selection
A crucial aspect of the renovation was updating all electrical installations and conducting metal carpentry work in the living-dining area to maximize natural light. Additionally, wood carpentry work included installing built-in furniture and wall paneling in specific areas.
The client had a clear vision for their home’s decorative coating: ready-to-use microcement. However, the existing supports, including old terrazzo flooring, deteriorated tile walls, and cement areas from removed walls, presented challenges.
With thorough preparation of the supports and completion of all preliminary infrastructure work, we applied Cementec High Transit microcement, ideal for pavements of questionable quality. This ensured a secure and technically sound result.
Phase 3: problem neutralization and base application
The application of Cementec microcement was carried out in two phases. After completing all masonry work, we adapted the supports by examining all areas to neutralize potential problems like cracks or irregularities. We then applied the first two layers of Cementec Base microcement, a low-thickness decorative coating using minerals and acrylic resins.
Adapting the support is crucial for a perfect finish. An epoxy primer was used to homogenize the surfaces, ensuring proper adhesion and a flawless, durable finish.
Phase 4: coloring and top coating
In the final weeks of the renovation, we completed the electrical, carpentry, and painting work. After these trades finished, and only the installation of auxiliary furniture, appliances, and toilets remained, we returned to apply the last layers of microcement pigmentation in Pearl Gray and polyurethane varnishes for final protection.
We ensured the flooring did not endure traffic stress in the initial weeks after application to prevent any damage to the new coating. This concluded our work, guaranteeing an impeccable finish and a complete renovation at a moderately affordable price.
Conclusions
Microcement renovation projects offer a quick, effective, and aesthetically impressive solution to transform any space in the home. Its versatility, ease of application, durability, and flawless finish make it the preferred option for those looking to renovate their home innovatively and stylishly.
