Profilpas profiles create a sleek finish at Omoda

Back

April 1, 2025

Profilpas Cerfix Projoint profiles, by Mapei, have been used to complete a tile installation at Fordthorne’s new Omoda showroom in Cardiff. The project, which was completed by A & L Tiling, spanned the contemporary-styled car showroom and featured the GMS – Omoda Corporate Showroom tiles by Minoli in both Terrazzo White & Grey.. The Profilpas profile was chosen for its sleek design and ability to blend seamlessly with the tile finish and Mapei Ultracolor Plus grout.

A family-owned enterprise, Fordthorne is a leading franchised car dealer in South Wales, with roots in the automotive industry dating back to 1922. The recent showroom refurbishment took place ahead of the launch of Omoda – one of the world’s freshest cross-border car brands. The new vehicles will be showcased alongside sister brand, the Jaecoo off-road series.

The new showroom area spans over 420m² and includes approx. 80 metres of Profilpas Cerfix Projoint DIL NTA movement joints. An adhesive-applied expansion joint, Projoint has an exceptionally durable aluminium structure with a vulcanised EPDM rubber inner section. Perforated anchoring fixing legs promote a perfect grip between the screed, profile and tiles and the joint has a compression and expansion capability with a range of +2 to -2 mm. The joints are sandable and designed to withstand heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic. They are offered in heights from 3 to 20 mm and the EPDM inner section is available in various colours. The installation was finished with Mapei Ultracolor Plus anti-efflorescence, quick-setting and drying polymer-modified grout, which features water-repellent DropEffect^®
and mould-resistant Bioblock^® technology. Ultracolor Plus is part of Mapei’s Zero Line and also benefits from an EMICODE: EC1 EC1 Plus formulation.
