With a perfect balance between practicality and aesthetics, lime based microcimento offers endless possibilities to create unique spaces. Handcrafted finishes, contemporary airs, or high resistance are some of the qualities that make Meexe Kal the best option to let creativity run wild.
The lime based microcimento is a very versatile product because it has a great capacity to adhere to any type of material without having to remove it. It can be used on vertical and horizontal surfaces, both indoors and outdoors.
The "wet on wet" method or the tadelakt effect are some of the techniques that this material allows to realize. In the first one, a third layer of lime based microcemento would be applied when the second one has not completely dried. With the second one, we would achieve a unique and long-lasting handmade finish.
By coating surfaces with lime based microcimento, we create continuous spaces that give a great feeling of spaciousness. This improves any environment, even the smallest ones, and prevents the appearance of cracks.
Meexe Kal not only provides a unique aesthetic with great decorative value, but it is also very robust. Our lime based microcimento resists weather conditions, wear, abrasion, and impacts among other factors. That's why it is the smartest choice if we want a lasting and stable result.
The lime based microcemento allows to customize the finishes with a multitude of colors and finishing effects. With its infinite range of shades and textures, you will bring life to any space.
Sustainability is not at odds with beauty. Our new lime-based microcemento formula is eco-friendly and reduces the environmental impact of its composition.
Our dual component lime based microcemento is very easy to use, but it is necessary to add Meexe Resin to achieve the best product to coat your surfaces. Our water-based acrylic resin is the B component for this and other microcementos.
By following the steps in this brief tutorial, we assure you that the result of your project will be excellent:
Although it may seem obvious, this step is fundamental. It is very important to carefully measure the quantities we are going to use, both of microcemento as well as resin and, if applicable, pigment. Use a measuring container for this purpose.
Mix part of the resin with the chosen pigment. This way you will maximize the performance of the dye and achieve a uniform result. Add the rest of the resin and stir.
Add, to the previous mixture, the Meexe Kal lime based microcemento in the chosen granularity, which you will find in powder format. Stir until you get a compound of homogeneous consistency and without lumps.
Take good note of these measures to achieve a perfect mixture:
The lime based microcemento is a very versatile material that can be applied on any surface. The process to follow will vary depending on whether it is vertical or horizontal supports, so it is necessary for the professional to know the differences between one and the other. Keep our guide to apply Meexe Kal on floors and walls.
1Base cleaning
As in every microcemento application process, also in lime based, the first step is to prepare the surface to be coated. This implies cleaning the base of dust and grease and making sure it is free of moisture.
2Floor priming
Before applying the lime based microcemento, it is essential to prime the surface with the most appropriate product. Choose from the range of Meexe Primer the compound that best suits the needs of your project.
3Placement of the fiber mesh
A flexible fiber mesh will help prevent cracks or fissures. Meexe Mesh also provides an extra resistance to the surface before applying the microcemento.
4Mortar preparation
Mix the Meexe Resin with the pigment according to the proportions indicated in the technical sheet until obtaining a homogeneous mixture. Then, incorporate the lime based microcemento and mix at low speed for a few minutes.
5Application of the preparation lime based microcemento
Using a metal trowel, apply two layers of the preparation lime based microcemento Meexe Kal L or XL, depending on the result you seek. It is important to let it dry for 4 hours after each application and sand it with a 40 grit sandpaper.
6Coating with the finishing lime based microcemento
Apply a layer of finishing lime based microcemento, letting it dry again for 4 hours and sanding the surface with 40 grit sandpaper. For this step you can use Meexe Kal M, L or XL.
7Sealing of the surface
After 24-48 hours, it is time to seal the coating with our lime based microcemento varnishes. First apply two coats of Meexe Cover, letting it dry for 4 hours after each application. Continue with two more hands of the most suitable varnish for the renovated space, following the instructions on the technical sheet.
1Prepare the surface
Prepare the surface that is going to be covered with our lime base microcemento. Clean the support of any impurities that it may have and keep it free from moisture. The more leveled it is, the better the performance of the Meexe products will be.
2Administer the primer
Apply the necessary primer to the surface before starting with the lime based microcemento. In our Meexe Primer product catalog you will find the most suitable compound for your project.
3Prepare the mix
Our lime based microcemento is dual component, so you must prepare the mortar before starting to cover the surfaces. Follow the instructions on the technical sheet to mix the Meexe Resin with the pigment, incorporate Meexe Kal, and stir until you get a uniform compound.
4Apply the preparation microcemento
Start by applying two layers of the lime based microcemento. The choice of Meexe Kal L or XL will depend on the finish you are looking for. Use a metal trowel and let each application dry for 4 hours, sanding each one with a 40 grit sandpaper.
5Coat with the finishing microcemento
The third layer will be the finishing lime based microcemento. Meexe Kal M, L or XL are equally suitable for this step. Let it dry for 4 hours and go over the surface with a 40 grit sandpaper.
6Seal the microcemento
The final step is to seal the coating, once it has dried for 24-48 hours. Use one of our lime based microcemento varnishes and follow the instructions on the technical sheet for an optimal result. Apply two coats of Meexe Cover first, respecting the drying time of 4 hours for each one. Apply two coats of Meexe Sealant Xtreme varnish and you will get extra protection.
