These floors are surfaces exposed to intense traffic and constant use such as in hospitals, schools, airports, offices, shops and industrial environments. Various factors have to be carefully analysed (moisture content, the flatness and evenness of the substrate, etc.) to guarantee durability and maximum performance.

Sustainable Mapei system specified at BREEAM Excellent Forest of Dean Community Hospital

September 9, 2024
A resilient floor installation has been completed at the new Forest of Dean Community Hospital with a sustainable Mapei system.  The installation, which featured designs from Forbo, was completed by Rotherham-based Titan Flooring for Speller Metcalfe.  The Mapei specification included floor preparation products and adhesives, each featuring EMICODE: EC1 Plus formulations.

Designed by ONE, Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust’s new 24-bed community hospital is located close to Cinderford town centre. It occupies the site of a former skatepark which is being relocated closer to a new park and recreational facilities.  Historically, the land was a coal mine and post-industrial site and during construction numerous challenges were overcome to transform the site into a sustainable community asset. 

The new hospital has been designed to achieve BREEAM Excellent certification and showcases various features that make it a model of sustainability and environmental best practice; It will be a net contributor of electricity and its sustainable design features ‘a nice thick jumper’ – extremely thick, 250mm installation in its walls and roofs.  Relying solely on electricity, it also uses alternative source heat pumps, mechanical ventilation recovery systems and on-site renewable energy sources.

The Mapei application spanned treatment and consultant rooms, waiting areas, therapy and recovery rooms, x-ray and ultrasound departments, bedrooms, corridors and stairs, WC’s, nappy changing areas, stores, bays and utility, kitchens and server rooms. All Mapei products specified benefit from very low VOC EMICODE: EC1 Plus formulations.  They included two preparation products - Latexplan Trade protein-free, low odour levelling and smoothing compound and Eco Prim T Plus, a universal acrylic primer.   Flooring was installed with Ultrabond Eco VS90 Plus hard set, highly shear resistant, wet-bed dispersion adhesive.

The Forbo specification included Forbo Eternal, Surestep and Surestep 12, Sphera Element and Colorex SD.
