Microcement Masterclass Overview
The Microcement Masterclass in London will not only demonstrate, but also give your hands-on experience and practice on boards and walls. You will have the opportunity to spend several hours practicing in-depth, multiple application techniques, including internal/external corners. Impera Italia’s Microcement (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 Microcement Masterclass course, you will be able to create a range of bespoke finishes using the Microcement system. You will also be familiar with the colouring, maintenance and issues of microcement and how to enhance the protection.
This course takes one full day, allowing for ample time to practice on walls, to ensure you are completely familiar with all aspects of the application process. Please be aware that we don’t teach troweling skills or how plastering works.
*All our Microcement courses come complete with complementary lunch each day at a local Italian restaurant that serves homemade English and Italian dishes.
