Leroy Merlin waxed concrete review: is it worth it?

The waxed concrete sold with us or at Leroy Merlin are in the form of ready -to -use kits. They contain something to make a sub -layer, coloring powder (pigments) and a finishing product (varnish or wax) to make everything waterproof.

The steps are as follows:

1. 1. Prepare the support with an underlay, the frame (if necessary) and the preparation mortar

1. 1. Mixed waxed concrete with pigments

1. 1. Application of a very fine 1st layer

1. 1. Application of a 2nd layer of waxed concrete once the 1st is dry

1. 1. Installation of anti-humidity protection

In which rooms and on which surfaces to apply it?

The waxed concrete is very suitable for a majority of surfaces such as:

• • A work plan

• • A shower

• • On tiles

• • Outdoors (terrace, garden furniture)

• • The kitchen (credenza, basin …)

• • Murs

• • Children’s rooms, parents …

Avoid living materials such as wood because concrete may crack. Likewise on fabric or carpet type surfaces, it is better to remove them before application.

Note: if the surface is not very flat or too gross, it is recommended, even if it is not indicated on the products of Leroy Merlinto put a hard -soil ragisage layer with the reinforcement grid if necessary. This step is essential to have a healthy base before laying your waxed concrete, good preparation of the support is the guarantee of a beautiful aesthetic result and for good aging of the surface.
