Can I apply microcement on stairs?

Yes, stairs are suitable, but the edges must be well reinforced and protected.

Detailed answer

Stairs are among the more demanding applications because the edges take a lot of wear. The key is to level the treads, reinforce the edges and ensure a high-quality final protection. It's not just about what the substrate is made of, but mainly its condition. Before application, check the strength, flatness, grease, dust, cracks and any movement. If the surface is at risk, it is better to reinforce it or create a test patch first. We use galvanized profiles that are tensioned and hidden beneath the microcement screed.

Common mistakes

  • covering active cracks without repair
  • unreinforced or poorly protected edges
  • loading too soon after application
