The micro cement flooring at the Clove Press Kit retail store in Mumbai. Interiors: The Busride
Creating a new floor without making a prolonged mess is an art. A micro cement floor is essentially a thin layer of cement that is applied to an existing base floor, which can be an existing stone, a tile or concrete floor. Polymer modified concrete increased in use after the Second World War. In the 1950s the U.S was looking for alternatives to regular concrete for repairs of aircraft carriers. Synthetic polymers were blended into Portland cement mortars, to produce surfaces that had the strength of cement and the tractability of rubber. In the US and Canada polymers were used to make bridge and parking lot overlays in the late 1970s. The modified concrete main function was to reduce the permeability of concrete and to increase resistance to chloride penetration, toughness and adhesion.
