Reinforcement, finish coats, sealing, and curing are managed as one continuous assembly. 1. Review the substrate and movement joints 2. Approve the system and sample 3. Build reinforced base coats and apply finish layers 4. Seal the surface, manage the cure, and provide care guidance ## Chicago project considerations Microcement is specified as a complete system. Chicago projects may involve older framing, new construction, or remodeled wet areas. Each condition requires a substrate review. ### Movement Existing joints and changes in substrate are identified before work. The finish cannot correct structural movement beneath it. ### Wet area coordination Waterproofing is a separate approved layer. Microcement begins only after the wet area assembly is ready for the specified finish system. ### Cure protection Access is controlled while each layer cures. Other trades are coordinated so the sealed surface is not exposed too early. ## Additional finish photography - [Sculpted kitchen hood](https://eaglespaintdecor.com/manus-storage/microcement-sculpted-range-hood-kitchen_de81ca09.webp): Pale microcement finish on a sculpted kitchen range hood between natural wood cabinets above a stone backsplash.

It can when the complete system is approved for wet areas and installed over a properly waterproofed, stable substrate. ### Does microcement crack? Careful detailing reduces risk, but the underlying structure must be assessed. Existing movement joints must be honored. ### How is microcement maintained? Use neutral cleaners and avoid harsh abrasives. We provide product specific care guidance after the final sealer cures. ## Related service areas - [Chicago](https://eaglespaintdecor.com/service-areas/chicago-il) - [Winnetka](https://eaglespaintdecor.com/service-areas/winnetka-il) -
