From the 5^th to the 21^st of October, in Via Sant’Andrea in Milan, the very heart of the Fashion Quarter, Mapei will be taking part in the capacity of Wall Painting Partner at the Elle Decor Grand Hotel event, an exhibition of new trends in hospitality and the luxury hotel sector.

Mapei is collaborating once again with Elle Decor Italia and is supplying protective and decorative wall coatings for ED Grand Hotel, an installation designed by Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu, the winning Chinese team of the international Designer of the Year 2017 prize during last year’s Fall Design Week.

For this occasion, Mapei is proposing its DURSILITE and COLORITE family of water-based wall paints. Water-based paints excel for their outstanding performance properties: durability, attractive aesthetic effects and protection for surfaces.

Designed for internal settings, thanks to their special acrylic resin or synthetic resin-based formulation, DURSILITE and COLORITE guarantee excellent cover, low dirt pick-up and an easy-clean surface. Mapei wall coatings are available in more than 1,000 exclusive shades from the Master Collection colour chart, which are mixed using the automatic ColorMap^® colouring system by Mapei and are available from authorised retailers.

For the world of hospitality, apart from collections of high performance wall coatings, Mapei also has a series of systems available that can guarantee high performance in terms of resistance, durability, application, quality finishes and designs, such as the complete systems for installing marble, natural stone and Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT). Systems guaranteed by years of experience all around the world, such as those for waterproofing bathrooms and damp settings (spa and wellbeing centres, for example), or balconies and terraces, as well as soundproofing and external thermal insulation systems for buildings. Certified systems compliant with the most rigid standards for kitchens and communal dining areas, where the maximum level of hygiene and health are a must.
