Microcement Worktop Kit with Anticrack

With the microcement worktop kit -which is a combined, high-quality multi-layer coating system– you can now a harder, more durable finish worktop surface. Our microcement is arguably the easiest to apply on the UK market, with an amazing cost/value ratio, that includes more material than any other similar system to make sure you have ample microcement to create a durable, waterproof and heatproof finish for worktops!

Now the kit is available in 5 sqm and 10 sqm sizes to enable you to apply this product on smaller and larger worktops and splashbacks.

Our microcement worktop kit comes with the newly developed TOP ART, which is a harder coating designed to protect the surface against heat, making it perfect for kitchen worktops and splashbacks.  You won’t need to worry about maintenance as the resin will ensure that water will not penetrate and the coating will last.

Impera Italia’s Advice™

If you sand the coats and apply this finish with a plastic trowel you can eliminate most of the movement and can actually achieve a microcement finish with no or little movement!

 

Trivia

Microcement products derive their strength not only from the nature of the mineral-, micronised cement base and their compactness, but also from the reinforcing effect of the resins.
