SMARTCRET Ready-to-use Microcement

Smartcret is incredibly easy to clean. A simple solution of water and pH-neutral soap is sufficient for regular cleaning. However, for a professional result and to preserve all the properties of the microcement, we offer Smart Cleaner and Smart Wax. These exclusive products are specifically designed for the care, maintenance, and cleaning of microcement.

• Avoid puddles and continuous contact with moisture.
• Keep surfaces free from elements like stones or grit that could scratch it.
• Try not to strike it with hard or blunt objects.
• Clean it with mild products, avoiding harsh cleaners. To maintain its protective film, avoid ammonia, chlorine, bleach, and soaps.
• Initially, tread carefully on the surface starting two days after sealing to ensure hardness and chemical resistance.
• After the initial phase, it is recommended to periodically wax with our maintenance wax, Smart Wax, using pass-through mops.

SMARTCRET Do It Yourself is designed for easy use, eliminating the need to mix multiple components. It's an ideal product for DIY enthusiasts. Additionally, our kit includes a step-by-step guide and there are video tutorials online, making the application process even simpler.

Before applying Smartcret, it's essential to prepare the surface with a primer.

Smartcret is applied in several layers using a roller and a trowel, suitable for indoor use on leveled and consolidated vertical and horizontal surfaces.

Thin coats are crucial to prevent cracks. It's important to adhere to the specified drying times outlined in the step-by-step instructions for each surface.

Once the product is dry, it should be sealed with Smartcret Varnish.

If the surface to be coated has grout joints, it is necessary to level the surface by filling them with our Smart Jointer.

No, the most crucial aspect is to apply the material in a thin layer and always adhere to the specified drying times. The addition of mesh or profiles necessitates a thicker layer to cover them, which in turn delays drying and affects hardness.

However, it's imperative to ensure that the substrate is in good condition before applying the product. If the substrate is damaged or in poor condition and microcement is applied on top, it will crack. This issue arises due to the poor condition of the substrate, not because the mesh is unnecessary.

Yes, before starting the application, it is necessary to stir SMARTCRET Do It Yourself. Our products are available in 6 buckets to facilitate manual mixing by spatula, but if you have the possibility to use a mechanical mixer, it's even better.

If you need to temporarily stop applying the product and want to preserve its properties, simply cover the surface of the bucket with a plastic film to prevent the product from being exposed to air and drying out. Afterward, ensure the bucket is tightly closed and store it in a cool place away from direct light sources.

Smartcret offers many possibilities and can be applied on all types of surfaces and materials: tiles, terrazzo, plaster, cement, etc.

Yes, you can paint over microcement. It's important to note that the Smart Varnish sealer is designed to repel dirt and other materials to protect the microcement. However, you can easily paint over it without any issues by sanding the surface beforehand.

Smartcret should be applied to smooth and leveled surfaces. If you intend to apply the product over a stippled surface, it's necessary to level the surface or remove the stippling beforehand.

Each stage of the Smartcret application process has its own drying time. However, in general, Smartcret dries quickly, significantly reducing the time required for the entire renovation process compared to traditional methods. For specific drying times, refer to our step-by-step guide.

If you have DIY skills, you'll likely find the job easier. However, even without prior experience, you can successfully complete the project by following our step-by-step guide.

Both of these primers are water-based acrylic primers. However, Smart Primer ABS is designed for porous surfaces, ensuring even absorption across the entire area. In contrast, Smart Primer PLUS is intended for non-absorbent surfaces, enhancing adhesion with the microcement.

One of the most common misconceptions about microcement is that it easily cracks, but this is not true. The issue of microcement cracking typically stems from the quality of the substrate and incorrect application methods. However, with high-quality materials and proper application techniques, cracking should not occur. Our product effectively addresses this concern, ensuring a crack-free result.

Microcement is not prone to scratching. Proper protection and care are essential. If applied to high-traffic surfaces like floors, extra attention and care are necessary, particularly regarding the application of varnishes. At Smartcret, our Smart Varnish helps safeguard against scratches and maintain the integrity of the microcement.

Microcement doesn't have to be prone to staining. It's essential to protect and take care of it. Like any other material, immediate cleaning is necessary for oil, coffee, or food residues. If applied to a high-traffic surface like the floor, extra consideration and care are required, particularly with the application of varnishes. At Smartcret, we offer our Smart Varnish sealer.
