Microcement course in London

Microcement Course in London Overview

The microcement course in London will not only demonstrate, but also teach you how microcement is applied on walls and floors. Our micro cement (also called microcemento, beton cire or micro screed) is a durable coating system that can create a contemporary design on walls and floors.

On completion of the course you will be able to apply microcement finishes in bathrooms, on walls and ceilings with various effects – from smooth polished concrete to lightly or heavily textured. You will also be familiar with the colouring, maintenance and issues of microcement and how to enhance the protection.

Our trademarked microcement course will enable you to quickly progress from one completed layer to another as each stage will already be prepared for you! This course takes only a few hours as microcement is a technical system and you will only need to familiarise yourself with the proportions of the mixing, the steps and timing. Please be aware that we don’t teach trowelling skills or how plastering works.

All courses come complete with complimentary lunch each day at a local Italian restaurant that serves home made English and Italian dishes.

Why you should attend our Microcement Course

We can recommend this course to anybody who knows how to use a trowel and a roller, but we strongly recommend Venetian plastering, rendering or plastering experience so they understand how one coat affects the other. In simple terms, you should be confident with a trowel and understand how plaster coatings work.

What should you bring?

Please ensure you bring along protective clothing and gloves as this is a hands on course.

Entry Requirements 

There are no entry requirements for our micro cement course, anybody can attend. On the other hand, you should be familiar with using a trowel and plasters.

Rewards

• A sample board featuring the complete system
