Mapei’s extremely high level of flexibility in its production processes is thanks mainly to the professionalism and expertise of the R&D laboratories. This is why Mapei pays so much attention to new trends in materials and proposes a range of systems that provide technical support to help complete the installation of resilient and textile flooring.

The best support for every type of floor

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.

This line of products includes adhesives, smoothing and levelling compounds and primers for installing resilient and acrylic and polyurethane resin flooring.

INNOVATION

All our products are tested in special environmental simulation chambers.

ECO-SUSTAINABILITY

We have been awarded certification from various international programmes for safeguarding the environment and health.

INTERNATIONALITY

The range is comprehensive in order to cater for different requirements all around the world.

Levelling products and adhesives from Mapei have been used to complete a resilient floor installation at Royal Gwent Hospital’s new Endoscopy Unit. The installation, by M2 Flooring Solutions, spanned 3,000 sq m and featured Polyflor sheet vinyl. The new purpose-built facility was designed by architects from BDP and delivered by contractor, Lancer Scott.

Located within a former birthing unit, the new Endoscopy Unit will provide an expanded range of services to patients in the Gwent area using state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. The unit includes four operating theatres, a range of treatment rooms, a spacious recovery area and a dedicated space for relatives. Open seven days a week, it will significantly improve quality, safety and patient experience by doubling its capacity.

Two Mapei smoothing compounds were used to prepare subfloors throughout the unit. They included two-part rapid setting and drying Latexplan Trade Fast and fibre-reinforced smoothing compound, Ultraplan Renovation Screed 3240, which has an EMICODE: EC1 Plus formulation, with very low VOCs

The Polyflor sheet vinyl was installed with two solvent-free adhesives: Ultrabond Eco 380 – a non- flammable pressure sensitive adhesive with strong and fast initial tack and long open time and Ultrabond Eco VS90 Plus - a high temperature universal adhesive, also featuring an EMICODE: EC1 Plus (very low VOC) formulation.
