Choosing your microcement finish
ClaudiCemento READY MIX Microcement BASE
ClaudiCemento microcement Base finish, characterized by its thick grain size. This durable and strong base layer forms the foundation of ClaudiCemento microcement system While it is primarily used for its strength, some enthusiasts also appreciate its rustic appeal as a unique finishing layer, adding a touch of character to any space. It is not recommended as a finishing layer on horizontal surfaces due to its porous structure, which makes it more difficult to clean.
ClaudiCemento READY MIX Microcement DECK
Next, we present the ClaudiCemento microcement Deck finish, designed to replicate the authentic look of concrete. With its medium-sized grain, it offers a mesmerising cloudy effect, complete with very attractive medium level colour variations and a distinct concrete like pattern. It comes as no surprise that the Deck finish is highly sought after, as it effortlessly enhances any environment, creating a truly stunning result. Recommended for all types of areas of installations !
ClaudiCemento READY MIX Microcement FINE
Finally, we have the ClaudiCemento Fine finish, characterised by its almost invisible grain size. This delicate and subtle option offers a beautifully cloudy effect with visible colour variations. What sets the ClaudiCemento Fine finish apart are the captivating burnishing marks, which add depth and texture to the microcement surface. Customers simply can’t resist the unique and sophisticated pattern it creates. Mostly recommended for walls and furniture coverings.
ClaudiCemento Protector DUR Matt
Offers a natural, understated aesthetic, minimising surface reflection and giving your floors or walls a contemporary, elegant appearance. The matt finish is particularly popular in minimalist or industrial-style spaces, where it enhances the inherent texture and depth of microcement without adding shine. It’s highly practical for both domestic and commercial settings.
ClaudiCemento Protector DUR Satin
It’s not a high-gloss or polished effect, but rather a subtle and elegant finish. This option is ideal if you are seeking a balance between a contemporary matt appearance and a touch of elegance and sophistication.
For those desiring a more pronounced glossy finish than satin provides, ClaudiCemento surfaces can be treated with a wet look floor polish product.
