For interior or exterior walls

MAPEI’s Manufactured Stone Veneer Systems (MSVS) line includes mortars that meet ANSI A118.4 and A118.15, with the superior performance necessary for foolproof installations. These mortars can be used in any climate from hot and humid areas in the Southeast… to Northern Canada where freeze/thaw resistance is important. MAPEI’s MSVS mortars are ideal setting-bed mortars and, because they don’t contribute to efflorescence, there are no efflorescence-related callbacks or customer frustrations. MAPEI mortars also offer the peace of mind in knowing that CO2 emissions are fully offset in the products’ life cycle.

Ready-to-order profiles and trims now available from MAPEI

The Diaplas™ line of made-in-Canada profiles for floors and coverings can now be ordered online

August 23, 2024

Laval, Quebec – MAPEI Canada is proud to now offer a full range of ready-to-order profiles for external corners, decorative listellos, transition profiles for floors of different or equal height and stair-nosings – all manufactured right here in Canada.

These products are all part of MAPEI Canada’s regular inventory. They can be purchased directly through a dedicated web page, or with the help of our specialized customer service team +1-888-DIAPLAS (342-7527). Your local MAPEI representative may also assist you.

The full list of ready-to-order, complementary profiles for floors and coverings are:

  • Diaplas Decorative Listello, designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal of ceramic surfaces, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to any tile installation.
  • Diaplas Regular L-Shaped, aluminum tile trims are used to protect and embellish any angle or edge of ceramic tile lay-outs where a professional and luxury finish is desired.
  • Diaplas PVC Regular L-Shaped, high-quality mouldings that offer both protection and embellishment for angles and endpoints in tile layouts.
  • Diaplas Regular Rounded, external aluminum corner profiles conceived to realize a bullnose effect between a ceramic surface and another surface at a lower level.
  • Diaplas Economic L-Shaped, aluminum profiles for outside edges of ceramic tile layouts, designed thinner than our Regular L-Shaped range for cost savings.
  • Diaplas Economic Rounded, aluminum profiles for outside corners of tiles, designed thinner than our Regular Rounded range for cost savings.
  • Diaplas Flexible L-Shaped, bendable profile conceived to complement the creativity of designers and architects, providing decorative joints between floorings of different materials, rounded and spiral edges, and other sophisticated ideas.
  • Diaplas Transition, conceived to realize a slope of 30 degrees between a ceramic surface and another surface of an inferior level by creating a smooth transition.
  • Diaplas T-Shaped, precision-engineered profiles that offer a seamless solution for creating a joint cover between two floor surfaces of equal height, particularly in areas where expansion is anticipated.
  • Diaplas T-Shaped for Vinyl, a profile specifically engineered to address the unique needs of vinyl flooring installations, providing a seamless solution for creating joint covers between two floor surfaces of the same height, particularly in areas where expansion is anticipated.
  • Diaplas Tile-to-Carpet, specifically designed to facilitate the juxtaposition from a ceramic tile surface to a carpeted area.
  • Diaplas Stair Nose, a high-quality, aluminum profile that combines a unique, modern look with the practicality of protection for tiled stairs.

“There will be plenty of opportunities for growth and development across Canada with this new selection of profiles,” said Mathieu Suarez, Product Line Manager, Complementary Accessories, MAPEI Canada. “Paired with MAPEI’s established line of products composed of grouts, caulks, adhesives, mortars, sealers and cleaners, we are aligned to provide complete system solutions.”

This new ready-to-order line of profiles and trims comes after the acquisition of Diaplas by MAPEI Canada earlier this year. Diaplas had been a key local player in the complementary tile accessories market since 1989. MAPEI Canada is proudly maintaining the legacy Diaplas manufacturing site and administrative office in Laval, Quebec, in keeping with the MAPEI Group’s global vision of localizing production and management to contribute to the development of local communities.
