MICRO BUT MIGHTY

In search of functionality and aesthetic versatility in the kitchen? Micro-cement may be the solution you've been looking for.
MICRO BUT MIGHTY

Many believe that the kitchen is the heart of the home. A space where families and friends congregate over food and drink to enjoy the convivial joys of fellowship, the kitchen must reflect warmth and radiate with welcoming qualities. Where longevity is concerned, it is a matter of great importance that the kitchen is built to endure. After all, it literally has to take the heat!

Chief among important considerations for kitchen surfaces is the aspect of durability. Some may even argue that a surface that lasts is more important than a surface that is pretty! But, what if we told you that you could have your cake and eat it too?

What Is Micro-Cement?

Micro-cement, also known as micro-topping or microconcrete is a building material that combines the strength of cement with added polymers and aggregates. While most of us may be familiar with concrete screed, which is primarily used for leveling surfaces, waterproofing, preparing subfloors, and creating exterior facades, micro-cement is a newer addition to local material options. Where the two differ, however, is in thickness and application; the former usually comes up to a thickness of 20 to 50 millimeters, while micro-cement generally clocks in at 2 to 3 millimeters thick!

Kingsley, Co-founder of Kraffit - a local company that transforms spaces with the captivating beauty of micro-cement and other surface materials, shares: "It provides remarkable durability for its final thickness. This is especially advantageous in the kitchen, as it is a high-traffic area prone to spills, heat, and daily wear. Because of this, we can assure our clients that microcement surfaces are resistant to scratches, stains, and light impact, ensuring elegance and functionality for years to come."
