| Application |
Mapei products promoted a fast, safe application, with the render, adhesive and sealant featuring EMICODE: EC1 Plus-certified formulations, with very low VOC.
Works undertaken by JNG and DMC form part of a series of upgrades taking place on the Edgware branch of the Northern Line in Central London. During the project preparation stage, JNG and DMC removed all existing wall tiles and adhesive residue, back to the solid substrate. The team then skimmed walls with Mapei Planitop Fast 330 quick-setting, fibre-reinforced cementitious levelling mortar, to even out irregularities and ready surfaces for tiling within a four-hour timeframe. Existing walls were then cleaned with UltraCare HD Cleaner Zero to remove all traces of organic dirt. The application followed extensive trials at Kentish Town underground station, during an earlier Mapei project, and training of contractors on-site. |
