Pioneers of Italian microcement in Mallorca
Our history with seamless coatings began two decades ago. Always in search of the cutting edge, several years ago we were among the first to introduce and install the earliest Italian microcements in Mallorca.
At that time, this material was a visual revolution. Architects and designers fell in love with its seamless industrial aesthetic. But being pioneers also meant facing the challenges of a technology that was still in its infancy.
Learning from the early days: How we overcame cracks
The first components arriving from Italy were very rigid. The humid climate of the Balearic Islands and the natural movements of building structures occasionally caused the dreaded micro-cracks.
At STI Balear, we quickly understood that success did not depend solely on a good product—it depended on understanding the substrate. Those initial challenges became our best school and the foundation of our current specialization in custom solutions for residential finishes and structural applications.
Global innovation: Why modern microcement no longer cracks
Fortunately, seamless flooring technology has evolved by leaps and bounds on an international level. Today, materials incorporate latest-generation flexible resins and high-resistance fiberglass meshes.
What is the current secret to 100% eliminating the risk of cracks or peeling?
Proper preparation of the substrate. To guarantee an everlasting microcement floor, at STI Balear we follow a strict process:
1.- Preliminary diagnosis of floor moisture levels.
2.- High-end bonding agents and specialized primer resins.
3.- Exhaustive sealing of all existing structural joints and cracks.
4.- Absolute respect for drying times between every applied coat.
Investment in Mallorca: Local training for expert installers
The best material in the world is useless without expert hands. That is why at STI Balear we do not outsource our work. We constantly invest in the local training of our own installers in Mallorca to deliver flawless results every time.
