Ian Costello completes Allingtons’ dealership expansion with Mapei ceramic system

A range of Mapei systems have been used to complete an extension at Allingtons’ car dealership in Ashington.  The project – carried out by Ian Costello Tiling – featured porcelain tile finishes and formed part of an extension of the existing showroom by Northern Structures Limited.

A family run dealership established in 1948, Allingtons is home to Kia, Citroen, Peugeot and Vauxhall in Northumberland.  Its extended showroom provides an additional 450m² of floor space for Allington’s extensive range of new and used vehicles. 

During Costello Tiling’s installation, surfaces were prepared with Ultraplan Renovation Screed 3240 - a fibre reinforced self levelling compound – and waterproofing, uncoupling and anti-fracture membrane, Mapeguard UM 35 was installed throughout the floor area.  Two deformable cementitious adhesives were used to install tiles: Keraquick S1 – a quick-setting, very low VOC formulation – and one-component, lightweight adhesive, Ultralite S2.  The installation was completed with anti-efflorescence, quick-setting and drying polymer-modified grout – Ultracolor Plus – which features water-repellent DropEffect® and mould-resistant BioBlock® technologies.
