How to Prepare the Substrate in a Shower?
Updated: 15.07.2026
✓
The substrate must be solid, even, waterproof and ready for the application of the screed system.
Detailed answer
The substrate in the shower must be solid, even and, above all, waterproof before applying microcement. Microcement is the final decorative layer, not a substitute for waterproofing. Ensure proper slopes, corners, connection to the drain, penetrations, and areas where water might collect.
Common mistakes
- application on dusty or unstable substrate
- failing to check for hollow spots and cracks
- insufficient degreasing and priming
