This interview with Alessandro Coscia, Ceramic Line Specialist and Technical Services at Mapei, explores the acoustic challenges faced in the Palazzo De Fazio project and how Mapei’s Mapesilent Roll system provided an advanced solution. By exceeding regulatory requirements and preventing acoustic bridges in precast slabs, the system delivered outstanding airborne and impact sound insulation. On-site acoustic tests confirmed excellent performance, validating design simulations and achieving Class II certification under UNI 11367, to the full satisfaction of all stakeholders.

Palazzo De Fazio is a multifunctional building in Bari that combines residential, commercial, and office spaces, with a strong focus on sound insulation. The collaboration between De Fazio Costruzioni and Mapei led to advanced technical solutions such as Mapesilent Roll. The system ensures high acoustic performance and living comfort. Every phase was meticulously planned to guarantee acoustic continuity and long-term durability.

During the extention works at the new Enegreen headquarters, Mapei supported designers and installers with an integrated system for laying large-format ceramic tiles. Thanks to solutions like Mapeguard UM 35 and products from the Zero* line, it was possible to ensure aesthetic quality, durability, and sustainability. Technical support helped simplify operational challenges, reducing installation time and unexpected issues. We discuss it with Silvana Carassiti.
