Mapei overcomes archaeological challenges at new Westin London City

July 11, 2022

Mapei & Middlesex Flooring recently completed a surface project at The Westin London City, the brand’s first Westin Hotels & Resorts in the UK and part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio.  Designed by Architects Dexter Moren Associates, The Westin London City is a 5-star hotel offering guests a sanctuary to escape from city life. The hotel features 222 luxurious guest rooms and a range of brand signature facilities. Mapei and Middlesex Flooring worked together to complete the resilient and carpet installation throughout all corridors and walkways, for main contractor Vascroft Contractors.

Situated opposite the Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, on the North Bank of the River Thames, the 10-storey Westin London City is on the site of the redeveloped Queensbridge House Hotel. The construction site included three plots of land separated by active roads, with a bridged section of the building crossing multiple lanes of busy vehicle traffic. Works included creating a public walkway on the north side of the river and demolishing and transforming an existing office building. Vascroft Contractors’ project team overcame a multitude of challenges - from the preservation of Roman archaeological ruins, to innovative methods of construction to create the interior designer’s vision – in order to deliver the impeccably designed hotel.

During the project, Mapei assisted with regular site visits and moisture testing, whilst Middlesex Flooring investing in specific FITA training for its flooring laying team.  The Mapei specification included a full Resilient System:

ECO PRIM T Plus – a solvent-free low odour all-purpose primer used to improve the adhesion of smooth compounds; Ultraplan Renovation Screed 3240 - a fibre reinforced self levelling compound - followed by installation of Ultrabond Eco Fix solvent-free, pressure sensitive, multi-purpose adhesive and Ultrabond Eco TX3 – a wet grab adhesive with early build-up of strength, designed for textile and linoleum floor coverings. Middlesex Flooring were appointed the flooring contractor to install Ege Carpet on Duralay Durafit 650 underlay.
