A comprehensive Mapei tiling system has been used to complete a tiling project at Porsche Centre Newport in South Wales. A new “Destination” facility, the centre has been designed to elevate the customer experience and spans over 7,000sqm across two floors. The centre was designed by Pier Architects and delivered by Beard Construction. The tiling project, which features porcelain and terrazzo finishes, was completed by Anderson Tiling.
Following consultation with the architectural team, the Mapei specification was agreed, including floor preparation products, adhesives, grouts and sealant, featuring EMICODE: EC1 Plus (very low VOC) formulations throughout.
During Anderson Tiling’s preparation works, three products were used to prepare the concrete slab throughout the showroom: Eco Prim T Plus – a universal acrylic primer – and Ultraplan Renovation Screed 3240 fibre-reinforced smoothing compound. Tiles were bonded with Keraquick S1 quick-setting, deformable adhesive and grouted using Kerapoxy Easy Design epoxy grout to provide a tough, durable grout joint impermeable to oils and other fluids. The adhesive was also used within WCs, along with Mapesil AC pure acetic silicone sealant for corner joints.
Other Mapei products specified included Ultracolor Plus 114 grout from the Zero line – with CO2 offset in the entire lifecycle – which was used extensively throughout the building, including within showroom areas and WCs.
