1-Day Microcement Introduction – Learn the basics of what makes Microcement such a highly desirable waterproof coating in a single day
Please note, this course is held at:
35 The Market Place, Falloden Way, London, NW11 6JT.
Microcement is a durable coating system that can create a contemporary design on walls and floors. This course is designed as a short introduction to the nature of the product, and serves to answer any questions about how the system is applied, as well as most of the details that applicators should keep in mind when preparing to carry out an application.
Upon completing our introductory Microcement course, we will provide you with a mood board set. This is a set of 20 sample tiles that include the main colours that form part of the Microcement product range. These samples come in a range of different protectors. (An additional Mood board set with 10 bright colours is available separately.
The Microcement course will discuss the most common environments that the product covers, being floors, bathrooms & worktops. Due to the short nature of the course, and the many layers that the application involves, we will use a rotating board system. This is to allow you the opportunity to apply each of the layers and get a feel for how each coat behaves. The rotating board system means that for every coat you apply, we will have ready a separate board with a dry version of that coat for you to move on to immediately.
It is important to know that this course is not aimed at teaching trowel skills or how to plaster. Microcement is really quite a technical product and not very beginner friendly. We recommend this course for people that already have some experience with plastering and are confident using a trowel. This course is designed to create a theoretical understanding of the the application. Therefore, the main focus of this course is more to do with preparing your materials in order to apply each layer, troubleshooting and ensuring each layer is finished before moving on to the next one. Quite a bit of mixing, weighing and combining of materials is needed in order to prepare each coat. The timing of the application of each coat is also discussed and covered.
We believe that once you have taken this course and understood the system, you should give it a go at home for yourself and do some practice. Ultimately, this is what will make you a solid professional applicator. This course is primarily aimed at professionals that only wish to be taken through the step by step process. It includes limited application time, as our intention is mostly to give you the knowledge, allowing you to practice in your own home. If you feel that you would benefit from a longer or more in depth course with the Microcement material, please take a look at out 3-Day Microcement course which will go in depth, and give you more opportunity to apply each layer of material.
