How this node works

The whole system is only a few millimetres: a bonding primer on the prepared screed, a base coat with an embedded mesh that controls cracking, two thin trowelled coats of microcement that give colour and texture, and a protective sealer on top. Each layer has a job; skip the mesh or the primer and the finish fails.
