The Ideal Solution for Modern Spaces
Microcement overlay, is growing to become one of the most desirable finishes in modern interior and exterior design.
For architects, designers, and property owners in Sydney looking for a seamless, and sophisticated flooring solution, microcement offers the perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality.
At Concrete Floor Sydney, we specialise in high quality microcement installations, including our own product ARAPIDO.
What is Microcement?
Microcement, also known as micro-concrete, micro-overlay or micro-topping, is a cement-based coating applied in thin layers (typically 2-3mm) to surfaces such as concrete, tiles, fiber cement sheeting, plasterboard, or plywood.
This special blend of fine cement, sand and polymers allows it to be applied to various types of surfaces.
It is especially ideal for situations where floor levels can’t be raised any further, as it can add a new finish to the floor without adding significant height.
Microcement has become a top choice for contemporary architectural projects that demand a unique and minimalistic design.
ARAPIDO SYSTEM
Arapido microcement system, is a cutting-edge application method that delivers a premium finish.
A concrete diaphragm pump sprays the product directly onto the substrate, followed by broadcast aggregate to give it body and movement if desired.
This spray application ensures a smooth surface, free from lines and chatter marks often caused by hand-troweling techniques.
Key Features of ARAPIDO:
-
- No Trowel Marks: Spray application guarantees a smooth, uninterrupted surface without trowel lines, making it ideal for achieving a sleek, smooth finish. This minimalist aesthetic can enhance any modern space.
-
- Customisable Colours and Finishes: Arapido offers a range of colours and textures, allowing designers and homeowners to personalise their flooring to match their vision. Whether you prefer light, dark or colour tinted finishes, Arapido can deliver a look that perfectly complements your design scheme.
-
- Versatile Application: Arapido is suitable for both interior and exterior applications, and can be applied over various substrates, including concrete, tiles, fiber cement sheeting, and plaster. Its versatility makes it a great choice for both residential and commercial projects.
-
- Low Maintenance: One of the standout advantages of microcement flooring is its ease of maintenance. With no joints or grout lines to trap dirt, cleaning is simple. A regular sweep and mop with a neutral detergent are all that’s needed to maintain the pristine appearance of the floor, making it a practical choice for busy homes and commercial spaces.
