Lime micro-mortars are thin-layer seamless coatings, designed to bring strength and a mineral aesthetic to floors, walls, bathrooms and kitchens. Their lime-based formulation allows natural breathability and joint-free application, with modern finishes that can be smooth or textured. An eco-friendly, versatile solution, compatible with contemporary or rustic styles.
Mortex is a seamless mineral coating (plaster) of natural origin that can be used to cover all types of interior and exterior surface with no limits on joints, decorating them with the mineral appearance of stone, rock or sand. It can be applied in many different ways and with a wide variety of tools and techniques, so many types of final appearance can be achieved, combining textures, pigmentation and effects, allowing an almost unlimited range of personalisation and aesthetic possibilities.
No. Mortex is a micro-mortar that is not made from cement, but from different types of lime.
As well as giving it outstanding environmental credentials in terms of ecology and decarbonisation, this gives it technical and aesthetic qualities that differ from a microcement. This difference in composition, together with the technology built into the formulation of every product in the Mortex range, means its performance and technical properties are very high and very long lasting, maintaining the same level of performance throughout its service life.
Mortex is used for the seamless, joint-free coating of all contemporary surfaces: walls, floors, staircases, furniture, worktops, pool surrounds and, in particular, wet areas such as showers, bathroom floors and walls, washbasins and bathtubs. It can also be applied over any type of surface: mortars, drywall, structural panels, wood and more.
The main disadvantages of using a microcement compared with Mortex always come down to technical performance.
The technical pillars on which Mortex rests are: mechanical and abrasion resistance (hardness and strength), flexibility (not elasticity), adhesion (to any surface) and watertightness (water repellency). All of these qualities and technical properties make Mortex a dependable material that is technically effective and self-sufficient, with no need to boost its performance through final protective coatings. Its ageing and stability over time are among its greatest hallmarks, so it rarely causes problems over the years, guaranteeing that it remains in good condition and making maintenance easier.
Microcements, as a general rule, cannot achieve this level of performance, especially when it comes to how long that performance lasts.
Mortex is similar in nature to natural stone. It is important to clean it properly from the outset, and maintenance requirements will depend greatly on the type of use and wear, the protective coating applied, and the type of cleaner used.

Among all the advantages of Mortex, the following stand out:
