Microtopping Surface Preparation & Application Process
At Royal Touch, we believe a flawless finish begins long before the final coat of Microtpping is applied. Every step of our process is designed to ensure strength, consistency, and a seamless aesthetic outcome.
Preparing the Base for Microtopping
-
Walls and Floor must be built straight and true, with no unevenness that could show through the finish.
-
The base for Microtopping can be tiles or 0 levelled smooth pcc.
-
The surface is cleaned thoroughly so it is free from dust, oil, curing agents, paint residues, or any impurities that can interfere with adhesion.
Creating a Foundation Layer
-
A finely applied first coat is spread across the surface to act as the foundation for the plaster.
-
We ensure the first coat is smooth and level, as even the slightest undulation or roughness at this stage will transfer to the final layer.
Applying Microtopping
-
Our craftsmen apply two coats of epoxy mixed material, each layered with precision.
-
The first coat is allowed to dry completely before the second coat is laid.
-
After the second coat, the surface is then left to dry overnight or until completely dry before sealing.
-
As per the requirement, matt or glossy sealer is applied to achieve desired finish.
Detailing & Protection
-
Every layer is checked and refined to avoid imperfections that might reflect in the finished surface.
-
Once dry, we seal the plaster with a breathable organic sealer that enhances durability while retaining the natural character of lime.
-
Microtopping suitable for flooring, wet areas, furniture and exterior areas.
Final Thickness
-
The complete Royal Touch Microtopping Surfaces achieves a refined finish with a slender build-up of approximately 2.5 mm—thin enough for design flexibility, yet strong enough for long-term performance.
