Mapei’s extremely high level of flexibility in its production processes is thanks mainly to the professionalism and expertise of the R&D laboratories. This is why Mapei pays so much attention to new trends in materials and proposes a range of systems that provide technical support to help complete the installation of resilient and textile flooring.

The best support for every type of floor

These floors are surfaces exposed to intense traffic and constant use such as in hospitals, schools, airports, offices, shops and industrial environments. Various factors have to be carefully analysed (moisture content, the flatness and evenness of the substrate, etc.) to guarantee durability and maximum performance.

This line of products includes adhesives, smoothing and levelling compounds and primers for installing resilient and acrylic and polyurethane resin flooring.

INNOVATION

All our products are tested in special environmental simulation chambers.

ECO-SUSTAINABILITY

We have been awarded certification from various international programmes for safeguarding the environment and health.

INTERNATIONALITY

The range is comprehensive in order to cater for different requirements all around the world.

Mapei joins sustainability-focused refurbishment at H&M Regent Street

Back

December 2, 2024

A tiling installation at H&M Regent Street has been completed, by Kapelli Ltd, using an EMICODE:EC1 Plus certified Mapei tile system. The project, carried out for main contractor Powells, formed part of a sustainability-focused refurbishment of the central London store.

The newly refurbished store was designed by H&M's in-house Design Team, alongside its UK architects, Quadrant Design, around a mindfulness theme and with sustainability at its centre. Lighter and brighter, the store has a welcoming and relaxed feel, with historic features exposed and wider views of Regent Street. New sustainability-focused facilities also enable customers to donate and recycle items, as well as rent clothes, shoes and bags through the store’s new debut rental area.

In line with H&M’s sustainability focus, the Mapei primer, smoothing compound, adhesive and grout used featured very low VOC formulations with EMICODE:EC1 Plus certification. The specification included Mapei Primer G synthetic resin primer in water dispersion and Mapei Ultraplan Renovation Screed 3240 fibre-reinforced smoothing compound to prepare subfloors throughout the store. Tiles were then installed with Mapei Keraquick S1 quick-setting, deformable adhesive. The installation was completed with Mapei Ultracolor Plus from Mapei’s Zero Range – an anti-efflorescence, quick-setting and drying polymer-modified grout featuring water-repellent DropEffect® and with CO2 emissions entirely offset in the entire life cycle*
