MicroCement Tile Covering (Floor & Wall Installation Guide)

Application Instructions for Ecoflor® MicroConcrete Over Internal or External Tiled Surfaces

Surface Preparation:

• Begin by meticulously cleansing the tiles and grout to eliminate any dirt, grease, or residue.
• Employ a detergent and water solution, then thoroughly rinse with clean water.
• Allow the tiles to fully dry before proceeding.
• Micro etching may be required for glazed surfaces.
• Always test a small area by applying EcoPoxy WB. Allow 24hrs and check the adhesion of EcoPoxy WB to the tile.

Flatten and Level the Surface:

• Prime the grout lines exclusively with Concrete Modifier using a small brush. Let it dry.
• Prepare a small quantity of Micro Cement (Or VertEcol) Paste and apply it solely to the grout lines using a spatula. Allow it to dry.
• Employ low-grit sandpaper (60-80 grit) to sand the entire surface, ensuring complete flattening and further smoothing to eliminate any ridges or undulations in the newly applied cement.
• Clean the surface meticulously to remove any lingering cement dust and let it dry.

Priming the Surface:

• Apply two coats of EcoPoxy WB Primer to the clean, dry tiles. This primer enhances adhesion and establishes a robust bond between the micro cement and the tiles whilst also providing a moisture barrier.

Adhere to the Technical Data Sheet guidelines for mixing and applying the EcoPoxy WB Primer and ensure complete drying. Apply micro cement within 24 hours.

Applying the Micro Cement:

• With the surface properly prepared and primed, proceed to apply the micro cement according to the specific instructions for either wall or floor application.

By following these step-by-step instructions, you can successfully apply micro cement over tiles to create a stylish and durable surface in your residential or commercial space.
