Micricement Showers - Resources

Benefits of Microcement Showers

At Los Angeles Microcement, we pride ourselves on offering microcement showers that bring a contemporary and seamless aesthetic to any bathroom space. One of the most significant benefits of opting for a microcement shower is its design flexibility. With no grout lines to disrupt the visual flow, microcement creates a continuous surface that looks both modern and timeless. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also makes it easier to clean, reducing the potential for mold and mildew growth.

Cost of Installing Microcement Showers

The cost of installing a microcement shower varies based on several factors, including the size of the shower area, the complexity of the design, and the chosen finish. At Los Angeles Microcement, we offer a free consultation and on-site estimate to provide the most accurate pricing tailored to your specific needs. While the initial investment might be higher compared to traditional tiling, the long-term benefits and durability often offset the upfront costs.

Durability of Microcement Showers

Our exclusive 11-layer microcement system ensures exceptional durability. This multilayered approach incorporates fiberglass mesh reinforcement and two layers of a chemically hardened urethane finish, making our microcement showers crack-resistant and capable of withstanding high moisture environments. As a result, microcement showers are not only sturdy but are designed to maintain their beauty over the years with minimal maintenance.

Maintenance of Microcement Showers

Microcement showers require minimal maintenance, making them an ideal choice for busy homeowners. The seamless surface repels water and resists stains, reducing the need for frequent cleaning. A simple wipe down with a gentle cleanser is typically sufficient to keep your shower looking pristine. Our FAQ resource provides detailed maintenance instructions, ensuring longevity and ease of upkeep.

Popular Colors for Microcement Showers

We offer a range of more than fifty colors, allowing homeowners and designers to choose from a palette that suits their style preferences. From soft, neutral tones to bold, dramatic hues, our microcement showers can be customized to complement any bathroom decor. Our custom color matching service further expands design possibilities, ensuring a personalized touch.

Steps for Applying Microcement in Showers

Before application begins, we carefully prepare the substrate, ensuring it is clean and structurally sound. Our system can be applied over existing materials like tile and stone, minimizing the need for demolition.

Our proprietary system includes a waterproof membrane that forms the foundation of the microcement layers, safeguarding against water penetration.

Fiberglass mesh is applied to reinforce the surface, increasing durability and preventing cracks.

Four layers of premium microcement are applied, each meticulously smoothened by our trained installers using a controlled spatula technique.

The final layers consist of decorative finishes and two layers of waterproof sealant, completed with a urethane finish that chemically hardens the surface.

Choosing the right contractor is crucial for a successful microcement shower installation. We recommend considering the following:

• Experience: Look for a contractor with a proven track record and documented installations, like our gallery of over seven hundred completed projects.
• Quality of Materials: Ensure the contractor uses high-quality materials and offers a reliable waterproofing system.

Waterproofing Properties of Microcement Showers

Our microcement showers boast excellent waterproofing properties, thanks to our exclusive multilayer system. The initial waterproof membrane, followed by layers of microcement and sealants, provides a robust barrier against moisture. This ensures that water penetration is prevented, protecting both the shower and the underlying structure from water damage.
