Microcem-FB is a next-generation fiber-reinforced microcement, a pre-mixed powder composed of quartz microspheres and marble powders, white Portland cement 525, selected glass fibers, and special additives that provide excellent adhesion to ceramic tiles, marble, screed, and other surfaces. It also offers extraordinary resistance to flame spread and smoke development.

An ideal blend of technology and material beauty, Microcem-FB is the fiber-reinforced microcement that combines strength, continuity, and sophistication. Each surface becomes a seamless architectural feature, where the strength of the material meets the freedom of design. Perfect for those seeking uncompromising solutions, Microcem-FB redefines the concept of cladding with natural, seamless surfaces of timeless appeal, embodying the essence of raw concrete and the vision of limitless design.

Its strength lies in the balance between technique and beauty: a fiber-reinforced material that resists time, yet capable of expressing lightness and modernity, transforming floors, walls, and furnishings into unique, versatile, and elegant spaces.

Ideal for covering floors, walls, and ceilings, both indoors and outdoors, it is ideal for large-scale design and renovations of public and private spaces, shopping centers, shops, bars, villas, residences, swimming pools, balconies, terraces, bathrooms, shower stalls, saunas, kitchens, furniture, and accessories.

The unique feature of the completely seamless design allows for seamless solutions between the floor and the wall, meeting the furnishing needs of modern and contemporary architecture.

Introduction:

Let's start by saying that the success of a floor depends largely on the substrate, the correct application method, and the mixing and installation phases. However, proper cleaning and proper maintenance of the floor is the responsibility of those who live with seamless surfaces. The more it is cared for, the longer the floor will last.

Advantages of Microcem-FB flooring:

The floor is very durable, but not as durable as a ceramic or stoneware floor. It can be repaired rather than completely replaced if the damage affects a very small area, and this is also a plus, but in any case, it must be applied by qualified professionals. It is not suitable for DIY.

Using the Microcem-FB floor:

In the first week after applying the complete cycle, it is very important not to clean the floor under any circumstances. Avoid spilling any liquid on the floor that could alter its color, lighten it, or even bleach it. Avoid walking on the floor at all costs, as it has not yet reached its maximum hardness and chemical resistance.

Cleaning the Microcem-FB floor:

Start cleaning the floor by removing dust and dirt using a soft-bristled broom or a vacuum cleaner, gently sweeping the surface. Be sure to cover the entire floor, including hard-to-reach areas such as corners. Mopping the floor without sweeping away dust and dirt can damage the surface layer over time, leaving it looking dirty even after thoroughly mopping.

Helpful tips for cleaning Microcem-FB flooring:

Prepare a solution of warm water and neutral soap, following the manufacturer's instructions. Using a microfiber cloth, thoroughly clean the entire surface. Be sure not to overuse the detergent, as excessive amounts could leave residue on the floor. Neutral products are the best choice for interiors and home environments; they are simple, economical, and extremely effective.

Helpful tips for treating Microcem-FB flooring:

Use a doormat outside the door. Use non-absorbent mats under the sink and washbasin. Use cotton or natural fiber mats; those made of rubber or synthetic fibers may release oil and stain the surface. Place shock-absorbent felt pads under the legs of chairs, tables, desks, and furniture. Use silicone rubber casters for office chairs. Clean up spilled liquids immediately; if left to settle, they could damage the floor's surface protection.

Take extreme care not to spill anything on the surface, including substances such as oils, perfumes, creams, grease, stucco, mortar, and paint, which could permanently damage the floor. Do not leave damp cloths on the floor. Never use abrasive or aggressive products such as wire brushes, sandpaper, hydrochloric acid, acetone, or ammonia, as their corrosive properties will damage the floor. Take extreme care when installing furniture (in any case, it is recommended to let the surface fully cure) and do not place objects on the floor. In fact, improperly curing the floor will result in unsightly stains, even after several days.

Do not drag any objects across the floor. Walk on the surface only with clean shoes. Avoid standing water and direct contact with moisture. Knowledge of the substrates and their suitability for the correct installation method and use of the products is the responsibility of the person performing the work. Proper treatment, maintenance, and cleaning of the surfaces is the customer's responsibility.

However, since we cannot intervene directly, the company assumes no responsibility for the conditions of the construction sites, the execution of the work, or the proper treatment, maintenance, and post-installation cleaning of the floors, as these are beyond our control.
