Whether you’re updating a bathroom, kitchen, or accent wall, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the process.

Why Choose Microcement?

Microcement is a versatile finishing material that has become increasingly popular in modern interiors. Its benefits include:

Seamless finish: No grout lines or visible seams.
Durability: Once sealed, it’s scratch and water-resistant.
Quick installation: Can be applied over existing surfaces like tile, drywall, and cement.
Eco-friendly: Reduces waste by applying over existing materials instead of removing them.

With Smartcret, you get a complete DIY kit that includes primers, fillers, and base/top coats, making it easy to achieve professional results at home.

Step 1: Clean Your Surfaces

Before starting, thoroughly clean your surfaces to remove any dust, grease, or residue. This ensures proper adhesion for primers and microcement.

Step 2: Fill Grout Lines (for Tiles)

If you’re applying microcement over existing tile:

Use the Smartcret filler to fill grout lines.
Smooth it out so the surface is even and ready for microcement.
This step ensures a completely smooth, seamless finish.

Step 3: Prime Your Surfaces

Smartcret provides two primers for different surfaces:

Porous surfaces (like drywall): Apply the milky, tacky primer that helps the microcement stick.
Non-porous surfaces (like tile): Use the grippy primer designed to adhere to slick surfaces.

Let the primer dry and lightly sand it to prepare for the base coat.

Step 4: Apply the Smart Base

Apply two coats of Smartcret Smart Base, sanding gently between each coat.

Focus on smooth, even application while maintaining a wet edge to avoid streaks.
Allow the base to dry fully before moving on to the top coat.

The Smart Base has a slightly textured look, giving your walls a subtle, contemporary character.

Step 5: Apply the Smart Liso Top Coat

Use Smart Liso for areas that need to be waterproof (like shower walls).
Apply two or more coats, sanding between each for a smooth, glassy finish.
The top coat provides additional durability and water resistance.

Tip: Keep a wet edge and work in a continuous motion for the most uniform result.

Step 6: Seal Your Microcement

Once the top coat is dry, apply a Smartcret sealer to protect your surfaces from stains and water. More coats increase water resistance and durability, especially in wet areas like showers and floors.

Step 7: Final Touches

Remove masking tape carefully using a utility blade to avoid peeling the microcement.
Add silicone around tubs or sinks for extra protection.
Admire your smooth, seamless, contemporary space!

Pro Tips for DIY Success

Use a dustless sander for easy sanding between coats.
Apply microcement over entire rooms for a cohesive look.
Experiment with Smart Base for textured areas and Smart Liso for smooth, waterproof finishes.
