Constructing a sustainable future together
The stand has been designed to provide visitors with a comprehensive overview of Mapei activities targeting environmental sustainability. Numerous Mapei solutions and systems have been created for a sustainable, responsible building industry. As a demonstration of this commitment, Mapei has designed a wall in the stand to illustrate the most significant references executed around the world in terms of importance, project complexity and use of Mapei sustainable products and systems.
The Mapei solutions proposed are formulated with innovative, recycled and ultra-light raw materials, specifically developed to have a low impact on the environment, remain durable over the years, reduce energy consumption and to have very low emission of volatile organic compounds (to safeguard the health of installers and end users).
Certification and protocols for quality, sustainable architecture
Mapei products and systems are certified by the most important institutes according to the most severe classifications with regard to environment, health and performance. Mapei products with low emission level of volatile organic compounds are certificated EMICODE, by GEV.
Mapei also subscribes to the LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) protocol, which sets out precise parameters for the design and construction of healthy, energy efficient buildings with a limited impact on the environment, and to the BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) protocol, which evaluates the environmental performance of buildings to enable designers and contractors to acquire important credits.
Our manufacturing processes are also geared up to sustainability: lower consumption of natural resources such as water, energy and non-renewable raw materials, lower emissions and waste and recycling of waste products.
Since 2016, Mapei has been introducing EPD (Environmental Product Declarations), “identity cards” which document the environmental performance properties of a product during its entire life cycle, requested by architects and designers to help them get a clearer understanding of the sustainability characteristics of a product and its impact on the environment. Mapei will be showing both Standard EPD’s, which cover a single product, and Model EPD’s, which cover all the products that fall within a specified range of chemical compositions and applications covered by that particular EPD.
Strengthen & Insulate, now even more worth your while
Mapei’s consolidated experience in the structural strengthening of buildings, together with the company’s extensive knowledge of materials and technologies in the external thermal insulation of buildings, has given life to Mapei integrated systems for the combined strengthening and insulation of buildings.
Thanks to the tax-break opportunities offered by Sisma Bonus for work carried out to reduce seismic risk, and Eco Bonus for energy upgrading, according to the Italian Law No. 205 of 27/12/2017 it is now possible to take advantage of tax breaks of up to 85% for combined strengthening and insulating work.
Mapei structural strengthening systems are characterised by their high mechanical performance properties and guarantee quick installation, compact thicknesses and practically no additional weight.
Mapei thermal insulation products form a complex system made up of different materials, each one certified to comply with the most restrictive European standards.
Like a made-to-measure solution, certified for every size: MAPETHERM
A correctly insulated building must maintain the right temperature of the air and structure to impede heat transfer, both in summer and winter. MAPETHERM solutions for external thermal insulation create the ideal thermal insulation for new constructions and during renovation work on old buildings. Four highly technological, innovative solutions to overcome various problems encountered on site: MAPETHERM SYSTEM with ETA certification and dedicated EPD; MAPETHERM AR1 LIGHT system with a textured skim coat; MAPETHERM FLEX RP system with high resistance to impact loads, mould and mildew; MAPETHERM TILE SYSTEM, exclusive for ceramic coatings.

MAPETHERM SYSTEM, the external thermal insulation system for interventions on new constructions, excels for its intelligent use of adhesive, the key component, the result of Mapei’s world leadership in the adhesives sector. MAPETHERM adhesives are highly effective in contrasting deformations caused by the different temperatures generated on the two faces of the panels, making it possible to install innovative insulating systems safely, whatever type of panel is used.
MAPETHERM FLEX RP is an elastic, impact-resistant skimming compound used to form cutting-edge external thermal insulation and to carry out the refurbishment of old external thermal insulation damaged by the rigours of time and bad weather. It is the result of a combination of technologies which make it a unique, highly innovative product in the thermal insulation sector. Available in particle size 1.5 mm, MAPETHERM FLEX RP excels for the results obtained in tests to measure resistance to impact by solid bodies according to EN ISO 7892 at the ITC (Institute of Construction Technology), in compliance with ETAG 004, a particularly important result in the case of critical areas.
MAPETHERM AR1 LIGHT is a cementitious adhesive mortar developed by Mapei for application in thick layers: a lightweight product with Ultralite technology, recommended for the creation of reinforced skim coats on external thermal insulation systems and for repairing deteriorated façades, it is ideal for use on uneven substrates before applying a paint cycle.
MAPETHERM TILE SYSTEM is the system used for installing ceramic tiles and engineered stone on insulating panels. It is characterised by its higher mechanical properties thanks to the use of reinforced structural render made up of PLANITOP HDM MAXI two-component, fibre-reinforced mortar and MAPEGRID G 120 A.R. glass fibre mesh. Apart from the advantages of traditional external thermal insulation systems, MAPETHERM TILE SYSTEM has other benefits such as easy maintenance, colours resistant to aggressive chemicals and smog and its unique aesthetic characteristics.

Colours you couldn’t imagine: MAPEI MASTER COLLECTION
Mapei looks at colours in the building industry from a new angle and proposes the MASTER COLLECTION: 1,002 original, dedicated Mapei shades for Mapei Coating Systems and Thermal Insulation.
This collection of colours excels for its completeness and uniqueness: it is the result of scientific analysis carried out using sophisticated software which is able to analyse 10,000 shades and, by “reading” their reflectance, visualise their position on a chromatic scale and, along with 3D comparison, pinpoint which chromatic areas to implement. Once the shades have been identified and analysed, they are grouped together in a handy, manageable format.
The shades available from the MASTER COLLECTION meet the specific technological requirements of every single project:
The shades available in the MASTER COLLECTION can all be created using the ColorMap® automatic colouring system by Mapei.
