How to apply microcement on your kitchen wall
Applying microcement in the kitchen is a very simple process. You no longer need to be an expert to achieve the best results.
Here's how to do it the right way:
1. Prepare the surface
Before starting the application, it's essential to properly prepare the surface. This way, you'll ensure correct adhesion of the product.
So make sure to thoroughly clean the walls, removing any grease, dirt, or dust that might remain on them.
You can use Smart Cleaner to ensure a deep cleaning.
2. Apply the primer
It's very important to apply a specific primer layer for microcement; this will ensure that the coating adheres properly to the wall. Let it dry for a couple of hours.
In this case, you can use Smart Primer ABS or Smart Primer PLUS to improve the adhesion of the base.
3. Apply the microcement
Mix the microcement and start by applying a first coat with the help of a trowel.
Then let it dry for a few hours, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations.
You can apply our Smart Base to properly prepare the base, giving your wall consistency and robustness.
4. Sand between coats
After applying the microcement, sand between coats to eliminate any irregularities.
5. Second coat of microcement
Now it's time to apply the second coat, ensuring it's uniform.
Let it dry and don't forget to sand again.
For the finishing touch, apply Smart Liso, and your wall will look spectacular.
6. Use a sealer
Once the microcement is completely dry and smooth, it's very important to apply a sealer to protect it from stains, wear, and moisture. Additionally, the sealer will also help give your wall a matte or glossy finish, depending on your preference.
You can use our Smart Varnish and Smart Varnish Repair to seal the microcement and keep it in perfect condition for longer.
And that's it—in the blink of an eye, you'll transform your kitchen wall into a completely new one!
