Advantages of microcement showers
Microcement showers have become a popular choice due to their numerous aesthetic and functional advantages. This continuous coating adheres to different surfaces without the need for building work with rubble, which facilitates its application in interior renovations, such as bathrooms, kitchens or bedrooms, as well as exteriors, façades or gardens. In addition, its versatility makes it an excellent option for commercial spaces or offices.
Below, we tell you about the main advantages of implementing microcement in showers and the benefits that will lead you to opt for this material in your renovation.
1. Easy to clean and antibacterial
Everything is easy! The surfaces covered with this material have a series of components that facilitate quick cleaning. Indeed, these continuous and smooth areas favour the non-accumulation of dirt, the non-appearance of humidity and, above all, the reduction in the probabilities of the appearance of bacteria.
However, the use of the Cementec Limp product is recommended when cleaning the coating, in order to avoid wear or stains.
2. High water resistance
Wet areas? Nothing resists the ready-to-use microcement. Its resistance to wet areas or direct contact with water make it the material par excellence for covering showers.
Don’t worry if you are one of those who likes taking a nice hot shower and delight it for as long as it takes. Cementec Medium finish incorporates extra protection for this type of surface, in the same way that it confers non-slip properties to the area.
Get ready, because your shower tray will be on another level.
3. Durability and impact resistance of microcement showers
The bathroom, and especially the shower, is an area that is very prone to impacts on the floor, as we are often wet and we can throw any object that may damage the surface. Don’t worry about it. Ready-to-use microcement is a very durable and resistant coating against external abrasions (as long as they are not caused by sharp or extremely heavy objects).
The durability of this material compared to others is due in part to its acrylic components, which give it a unique combination of hardness and elasticity. In addition, you can add Cementec’s Finish Forte Plus, a high-solids polyurethane varnish that is 100% waterproof for many uses. Do it and you will achieve extraordinary results.
4. Versatility for both floors and walls
And the best thing about all this is that microcement is perfect for both the floor and the walls of your shower. Its versatility allows you to adapt the design to your needs, achieving a uniform and elegant finish.
In fact, when microcement is applied in showers, it is also recommended to do so on the adjoining walls, as in this way there is no possibility of leaks and a watertight space is achieved, ready to withstand water without any problem.
5. Unlimited personalisation
What if we told you that you could recreate the bathroom of your dreams by installing microcement showers, would you believe us? Customised your renovation according to your tastes, necessities and appreciations. Choose, as we have previously commented, between different textures and colours, and design a long-lasting bathroom.
However, after discussing on all these benefits, remember that, despite the fact that microcement is easy to apply, its installation is always recommended by professionals who know the subject or certified applicators.
They have the ability to achieve the desired finishes, the technique to achieve full adherence, as well as knowing the application process perfectly, make them even capable of reducing renovation times.
