A Mapei tiling system has been used to complete a surface installation project at Spelthorne’s Eclipse Leisure Centre. The installation, carried out by Global Ceramic Tiling for Willmott Dixon, spanned the swimming pool, wellness areas and changing rooms. It features a variety of porcelain tiles, along with Mapei EMICODE: EC1 Plus certified sustainable formulations and products from Mapei Zero line, with CO2 emissions fully offset in the entire life cycle.
The tile installation included swimming pool surrounds, wellness areas and wet and dry changing areas and featured 300x300mm and 300x600mm porcelain tiles, supplied by Spec Tile. During the installation, surfaces were prepared by Advance Screeding. Mapei Topcem – a fast-drying hydraulic screed binder – was applied to form a complex set of falls within the changing rooms and to level common areas to a super flat SR1 surface regularity. Mapelastic AquaDefense ready-to-use rapid-drying liquid membrane was applied to waterproof damp areas throughout the complex.
All tiles were installed with Mapei Keraquick S1 quick-setting, deformable adhesive and fixed with Ultracolor Plus anti-efflorescence, quick-setting and drying polymer-modified grout, which feature water-repellent DropEffect and mould-resistant BioBlock technology. Both products have since become part of Mapei’s Zero Line. Mapei Topcem, along with Keraquick S1 and Ultracolor Plus, also benefit from EMICODE: EC1 Plus formulations. g
