But what about outdoor use?<\/p>\n

\n micro concrete for terraces and exteriors<\/strong>
\n<\/a> such as patios, courtyards, balconies and walkways.<\/p>\n

Beautiful, hard-wearing and durable, it can be used to cover outdoor floors exposed to sun and weather<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Micro concrete terrace<\/h3>\n

A micro concrete terrace bridges the gap between the outside and inside of your home, bringing sunshine and life inside the house and indoor comfort to the outside.<\/p>\n

Spaces are getting bigger, and it’s becoming so good to connect with the surrounding nature.<\/p>\n

Texture, color and ease of maintenance are the main advantages of this concrete cladding.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Balcon\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Micro concrete balcony<\/h3>\n

The balcony doesn’t occupy a large surface area, but it’s nonetheless so important to urban living.<\/p>\n

Waterproofing permitting, micro concrete will turn it into a cosy space, a true decorative extension of your house or apartment.<\/p>\n

Patio in micro concrete<\/h3>\n

If you’ve created a patio in your home, you can use micro concrete to create a link between the outside and the inside of the house, bringing it face to face with a world of vegetation and humidity that’s almost tropical…<\/p>\n

Or, on the contrary, a minimalist, mineral space as found in Spanish, Mexican or Japanese architecture.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Cour\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Micro concrete courtyard<\/h3>\n

The courtyard is an arrival on your property, a first contact that sets the tone.<\/p>\n

If you build a concrete slab in accordance with the rules of the trade and the DTU, you can lay a Marius millimetric micro concrete finish on top, perfectly suited to pedestrian and light vehicle traffic…<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Allee\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Garden path in micro concrete<\/h3>\n

A walk in the garden, whether on prefabricated, paved concrete slabs, solid paving or Japanese steps…<\/p>\n

There are many ways to integrate micro concrete into your landscaping project. This can be done in situ or in a ready-to-install workshop.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Kiosque\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Micro concrete gazebo<\/h3>\n

It is laid like a terrace on a concrete slab that complies with DTU standards.<\/p>\n

Micro concrete will provide a high-end finish that will resonate with this graphic element in the garden and the wealth of 71 colors available.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Sensualit\u00e9\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Outdoor micro concrete, a sensory experience<\/h2>\n

Compared to other materials – wood, tile, gravel, stone – a micro concrete terrace has characteristics that create a unique sensory experience, while being practical:<\/p>\n

Spatial continuity<\/h3>\n

Micro concrete creates absolutely continuous surfaces, without joints or breaks, linking spaces, inside and outside, terrace and living room, flowerbed and garden paths, summer kitchen and pool deck, and creating an impression of visual immensity.<\/p>\n

Sensuality<\/h3>\n

Micro concrete stores and releases heat in moderation, creating a pleasant, temperate feel that’s neither too hot nor too cold.
\nUnder bare feet in summer, it is soft and silky.<\/p>\n

The color<\/h3>\n

Colored in the mass or on the surface with a varnish or stain, micro concrete lends itself to any harmony with other materials in the home – light or dark, bright or neutral.<\/p>\n

That’s why it’s so popular with architects and interior designers.<\/p>\n

Ease of maintenance<\/h3>\n

Smooth and homogeneous, with no crevices and therefore very hygienic, micro concrete is easy to clean with ordinary tools such as a broom, or more sophisticated ones such as a high-pressure cleaner.<\/p>\n

How to create your outdoor floor in micro concrete<\/h2>\n

Terrace in decorative concrete and coloured concrete<\/h3>\n

A terrace that extends a living room or kitchen, whose colors won’t fade in the sun and that stays beautiful for a long time. This is the challenge met by Marius Aurenti micro concrete, whose mineral pigmentation ensures perfect U.V. resistance.<\/p>\n

Marius Aurenti’s hard-wearing 2mm-thick exterior micro concrete can be laid directly on a concrete slab, or on top of existing tiles.<\/p>\n

This requires a certain amount of technical expertise, so we recommend that you call in a professional craftsman for your work.<\/p>\n

The application process will involve 3 or 4 steps:<\/p>\n
