Microcement Floor – Microtraffic
When the job is the floor covering with Microcement, the whole family, the most suitable is the Microtraffic. This Microcement is the toughest of the market, ideal to commercial spaces with high traffic. Although this is a Microcement to be applied specialty in floor it can also be used on countertops, stairs, shower trays, facades and terraces.
Note that the Microfinishing can also be used for floor coating without compromising the reliability of the material, the major difference is in the type of finish desired.
Microtraffic – Homogeneous and Natural
Microtraffic has a natural look, which makes it a coating of elegance and that will hardly go unnoticed. The Microcement has a high level of customization and is fairly easy to combine with other materials. May prefer, for a given floor, a satin finish or a more glossy finish even so this type of Microcement also features about 40 different colours.
See some Microtraffic Applications.
Due to its composition rich in resins, the Microtraffic isn’t suitable to be in direct contact with heat sources such as pans.
Microcement vs Polished Cement
We could confund Microcement floors with polished cement, despite the differences between the two coatings are evident. In Polished Cement requires minimum thickness of 6 cm and heavy machinery for installation, while the Microcement only needs a couple of milimeters thickness e is applied with simple tools. This coating doesn’t need expansion joints, in turn, the polished concrete every 4 to 5 meters require seals to reduce the probability of cracks.

– We must always respect the mixing proportions recommended,
– Before each coat wait until the previous coat is completely dry,
– Sanding manually,
– Do not exceed a thickness of 0.5 millimeters of Microtraffic,
– We recommend a total thickness (Microbase and Microtraffic) 2-3 Millimeters,
– After leaving the surface dry, between 24h and 48h, apply Sealer.
