They are generally between a 1\/32\"-1\/8\u201d thickness and applied either by hand troweling, using a squeegee and can even be broom applied for a broom finish. Micro-toppings are semi-flexible. They are enhanced using polymer or liquid latex along with cementitious powder and fine sand.<\/p>\n<p>Micro toppings come in four standard grain sizes and two standard colors - white and grey base or can be integrally colored. The micro topping is put down consecutively, starting off with a base coat, followed by an intermediate coat and in some cases depending on the build, a couple coats followed with a finer coat for a smoother finish. <\/p>\n<p>Sanding takes place in between coats for a smooth more uniform look. Micro topping installations can be done interior or exterior.<br \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"span6 \"><h2>Contact Form<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wpcf7 no-js\" id=\"wpcf7-f2941-o1\" lang=\"en-US\" dir=\"ltr\" data-wpcf7-id=\"2941\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/residential\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/703#wpcf7-f2941-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" aria-label=\"Contact form\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<fieldset class=\"hidden-fields-container\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"2941\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"6.1.5\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"en_US\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f2941-o1\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_recaptcha_response\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/fieldset>\n<div class=\"row-fluid\">\n\t<p class=\"span4 field\"><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-name\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Name:\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"your-name\" \/><\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n\t<p class=\"span4 field\"><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-email\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-email wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-email\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"E-mail:\" value=\"\" type=\"email\" name=\"your-email\" \/><\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n\t<p class=\"span4 field\"><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-phone\"><input size=\"40\" maxlength=\"400\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Phone:\" value=\"\" type=\"text\" name=\"your-phone\" \/><\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"field\"><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"your-message\"><textarea cols=\"40\" rows=\"10\" maxlength=\"2000\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-textarea\" aria-invalid=\"false\" placeholder=\"Message:\" name=\"your-message\"><\/textarea><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"submit-wrap\"><input type=\"reset\" value=\"clear\" class=\"btn btn-primary\" \/><input class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit has-spinner btn btn-primary\" type=\"submit\" value=\"send\" \/>\n<\/p><div class=\"wpcf7-response-output\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row \"><\/div><!-- .row (end) -->\n<div class=\"span12 \"><\/div>\n<div class=\"span6 \"><h2>Versatility<\/h2>\n<hr size=\"3\" color=\"#949599\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-721\" alt=\"header-micro-topping\" src=\"https:\/\/aciflooring.com\/residential\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/header-micro-topping.jpg\" width=\"612\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aciflooring.com\/residential\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/header-micro-topping.jpg 612w, https:\/\/aciflooring.com\/residential\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/header-micro-topping-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Micro toppings can be used on ceilings, countertops, showers, food concession areas, water parks, sidewalks and driveways. The most important item is the concrete substrate must be in structurally sound condition because it is very thin and the ability to hide is critical and will crack if the substrate moves.<\/p>\n<p>Micro toppings are cost effective. They are typically 25% cheaper than most laminates or toppings. It is a great alternative to a blotchy, discolored concrete substrate that needs a new canvas or palette.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The versatility of micro topping is only limited by your imagination. Micro toppings applied require design skills and creativity to produce some wonderful scenarios.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 10px;\"><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"span6 \"><h2>Control Your Level of Shine<\/h2>\n<hr size=\"3\" color=\"#949599\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aciflooring.com\/residential\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/aci-flooring-micro-topping-content-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"612\" height=\"353\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aciflooring.com\/residential\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/aci-flooring-micro-topping-content-2.jpg 612w, https:\/\/aciflooring.com\/residential\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/aci-flooring-micro-topping-content-2-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><br \/>\nDifferent sealers can be used to get low gloss, gloss or matte finish even when used in conjunction with repair mortars.
