Tips for taking care of the cement floors(μονωσεις ταρατσων)
In contrast to ceramic floors, miniaturized scale cement or smoothed cement floors require more noteworthy exactness while setting and more prominent care to
stay away from breaks or crevices. Also, despite the fact that they are two coatings that adjust to any style and their visual end is
comparable, their parts are extraordinary: microcement is connected just inside and on existing surfaces and is 3 mm thick;
while the smoothed cement is placed on crisp concrete and is progressively safe because it conveys a heap of 5 mm.
The most continuous problem introduced by this kind of surfaces are crevices . Hence, the engineer Gustavo
Giorgio, of the firm Cemflex , suggests "beforehand apply a stringent to guarantee the adherence of the covering, a fiber
work to give it the adaptability that the cement itself does not have and a few layers of leveling bases to give it
hardness. After these cases, the floor is prepared to get the microcemento with its relating tone, just as
its sealer and resulting lacquering.
To acquire great outcomes, "the smoothed cement must be connected on materials no bigger than 4 m2, with development joints, be it
aluminum, bronze or open joints. The microcement, then again, does not break in the event that it doesn't surpass 3 mm in
thickness ", clarified Stella Maris Colombo, business expert of Tarquini Mills .
Another disadvantage that can happen is the arrangement of little openings that after some time break and expand; or unevenness between
well-checked materials or development joints. The shading can likewise be a cerebral pain, because in the event that you don't make a decent mix
between the colors in the concrete they structure spots.
"During the time spent application must consider the kind of surface to cover, its status, age, piece,
inside or outside. These days there are microcements called adaptable polymeric that permit to avert the results
created by the average movements of expansion and constriction, "says Marcelo Pomernac, head of FullCover .
All coatings of this sort have sealants and waterproofing that are picked by the utilization and the elements to which
they are generally exposed. In a shower, for instance, they ought to have more prominent protection from dampness; and in a kitchen, to the
ingestion of fats and oils. The waterproofing is placed after the set and it isn't fitting to walk the floor until
the work is done. In the wake of restoring, the customary last completion is made with fluid or glue waxes . In any case, we can likewise
replace them with cementitious lacquersthat will give more noteworthy assurance and better protection from stains. "All
cementitious substrates are porous, before which once the application procedure is finished, it must be fixed,
hydrolacquered and waxed in an obligatory way, aside from in those situations where ledges, showers or outside are
required, where a similar procedure is required, however rather than the wax is connected an acrylic dissolvable based veneer,
"clarifies Pomernac.
The microcement must be dealt with fundamentally the same as that of a characteristic wood floor. Try not to drag substantial items or use
grating items or sharp articles. To clean it, a wet fabric is used. And keeping in mind that there are particular synthetic substances, you have
to remember that some multi-reason cleaners can debase their shading or stain them. "I prescribe utilizing cleanser,
white cleanser bread or wax for microcement floors, because it produces a film that secures the veneers likewise improving the
splendor," says Colombo.
It is likewise important to give close consideration to the stains of dye, light wax, espresso, vinegar or oil as they should be
discarded right away. "In spite of the fact that the completing is finished with hydrolacs, I suggest dissolvable or polyurethane enamels in
increasingly grimy conditions, for example, kitchens, bathrooms and outside floors as these kinds of polishes are progressively safe even
to sun and rain,"
In situations where maintenance never again works, it is important to turn to fix. "It very well may be fixed on account of
shallow scratches, sanding and waxing once more. Furthermore, when a gap happens because of a specific development of the dividers or
floors, its fix includes covering the whole fabric once more,(τσιμεντοκονια μπανιου)
