A Mapei tiling system has been used to complete an extensive project at Crown Packaging Manufacturing UK’s can manufacturing, production and distribution facility.
Located at Delta Park in Peterborough, the facility spans over 623,000sqft. The project was completed by Floor Form (UK) for Trebor Developments LLP. The surface specification included monotone and stone-effect porcelain wall and floor tiles, from Solus Ceramics and Johnson Tiles, Mapei floor preparation products, tiling adhesives and grouts.
The tile installation spanned the headquarter office space, conference and training rooms, reception, WCs and changing rooms.
During floor preparation, Floor Form (UK) applied Mapeproof One Coat surface damp proof membrane onto newly installed concrete slabs to control residual and constructional moisture. Eco Prim Grip Plus aggregated bonding promoter primer was then applied, followed by Ultraplan Renovation Screed 3240 fibre-reinforced smoothing compound which provided SR1 surface flatness prior to the tile installation. Mapetex anti-fracture membrane was also installed to alleviate potential stresses within the substrate.
Tiles were installed using two Mapei tile adhesives: Rapid S1 cement-based rapid setting flexible adhesive and Adesilex P4 self-buttering, quick-setting cementitious adhesive. Ultracolor Plus grout, from Mapei’s Zero Line, was then used to complete the installation.
Eco Prim Grip Plus, Ultraplan Renovation Screed 3240, Adesilex P4 and Ultracolor Plus each feature EMICODE: EC1 Plus (very low VOC) formulations, which promoted a safe application. Prior to project handover, treatments from Mapei’s UltraCare range of concentrated deep cleaners were used to remove grout film and site dirt residue.
