Thanks to its dense, seamless structure with a resin finish layer, microcement limits dirt retention and the development of bacteria, molds, and fungi. This makes it ideal for spaces with high hygiene requirements, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and common areas.
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.
