How is microcement applied to furniture?
-
Surface preparation
- The furniture surface is sanded and cleaned of dust and grease.
- If necessary, additional leveling or structural reinforcement is performed.
-
Applying primer
- The special primer improves adhesion between the base and microcement, which is especially important for wooden or MDF surfaces.
-
Applying microcement layers
- Usually, 2–3 thin layers are applied, each of which must dry well.
- The thickness rarely exceeds 2–3 mm, preserving the original dimensions of the furniture.
-
Impregnation and protective coating
- The finish layer protects against scratches and extends the life of the coating.
Interior ideas with microcement furniture
- Industrial style: Combine with metal details, exposed pipes, and a gray-black color palette to achieve the characteristic "loft" look.
- Minimalism in the kitchen: Microcement cabinets and bar counters with a matte finish, combined with white or wooden elements.
- Scandinavian warmth: Use pastel or beige shades of microcement and combine them with natural wood to add coziness.
- Accent furniture in the bathroom: A sink, countertop, or niche clad with microcement in a contrasting color creates a designer effect.
