Sensitive to Heavy Furniture: How to Protect Microcement Surfaces
Microcement is sensitive to the pressure exerted by heavy furniture, just like most floors. A thin and durable decorative coating, microcement is composed of materials such as cement, resins, and additives that provide durability and waterproofing. However, it's important to note that despite its resilience, microcement can be damaged by excessive pressure or sudden movements. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
- Weight Distribution: Avoid concentrating the weight of heavy furniture, such as tables, wardrobes, or sofas, on small areas of the floor. Use non-slip mats under furniture legs to evenly distribute the weight.
- Lifting Instead of Dragging: When moving furniture, lift rather than drag them across the microcement floor. Dragging can cause scratches or damage to the surface.
- Protective Measures: Consider using felt or rubber protectors under furniture legs to reduce friction and safeguard the microcement from potential damage.
- Regular Maintenance: Perform regular cleaning and maintenance of the microcement floor to keep it in optimal condition and prevent wear and tear. Despite its sensitivity to heavy furniture pressure, microcement remains a popular choice for floors due to its durability and variety of aesthetic finishes available.
Preventing Scratches When Moving Heavy Furniture on Microcement
While microcement is a highly resilient and durable material, certain considerations should be taken when moving heavy furniture on it:
- Protection: To prevent scratches on microcement, it's advisable to use protectors under heavy furniture legs, such as felt pads or rubber mats, to evenly distribute the weight and reduce the risk of surface damage.
- Lifting: Preferably lift heavy furniture instead of dragging it across the microcement floor to avoid surface scratches. Ensure the surface is clean before moving heavy furniture to prevent scratches caused by debris.
- Maintenance: In case of scratches due to moving heavy furniture, they can be repaired using specific microcement maintenance kits following the instructions for optimal results. Always handle heavy furniture on microcement with care and caution to prevent surface damage.
Protecting Microcement from Damage Caused by Heavy Furniture
To safeguard microcement from damage caused by heavy furniture, consider these specific precautions and strategies:
- Use of Mats or Adhesive Felt: Apply mats or adhesive felt under heavy furniture legs to create a protective layer between the microcement and the furniture. This helps distribute weight evenly and prevent scratches and damage.
- Lifting Furniture Instead of Dragging: Avoid dragging heavy furniture on the microcement floor; lifting the furniture when necessary can prevent scratches or damage to the surface.
- Weight Distribution: Whenever possible, try to distribute the weight of heavy furniture over a larger surface. Using furniture platforms or wheels can assist in evenly distributing the weight.
- Regular Cleaning and Maintenance: Keep the microcement floor clean and well-protected with manufacturer-recommended products. Proper cleaning and maintenance help preserve the surface integrity and prevent damage.
By following these precautions and implementing the right protective measures, you can shield microcement from damage caused by heavy furniture, maintaining its beauty and durability over time.
