In addition to the visual appeal and functional characteristics of these Profilpas profiles for floors and coverings, they also stand out for their versatility. The company has designed especially eclectic ranges which can fit into any space. From workplaces to living spaces, bathrooms to terraces, stairs to external or internal angles, these profiles provide tailor-made solutions which both suit and enhance the interior style of the customer’s space.
The materials used to make the profiles for floors and coverings are also varied. Aluminium, steel and brass profiles certainly stand out among the protagonists, combining material quality and refined design, to which PVC profiles are also added.
Mapei has received Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification for a series of treatments from its UltraCare range. They include six tile and stone cleaning products and UltraCare Smooth Silicone. The certification reflects Mapei’s commitment to whole life cycle sustainability, from raw materials, through manufacturing and packaging, reducing the amount of CO2 associated to the product itself. Each of the products are also part of Mapei UK’s Zero Line, with CO2 fully offset in the entire life cycle.[1]
Used to document the effects a product has on the environment throughout its entire life cycle, EPD’s are a fundamental tool within the construction sector; they enable the identification of low environmental impact products, to meet project requirements and certification protocols for sustainable building. Mapei calculates the impacts its products have on the environment using the standardised LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) method. It now has more than 390 EPD certificates across all product ranges - spanning adhesives, admixtures, coatings, floor preparation products, grouts and surface care products.
EPD certified products from the UltraCare range include:
UltraCare Keranet - a concentrated ‘buffered’ acid cleaner; removes rust stains from porcelain and ceramic tiles, as well as limescale and efflorescence.
UltraCare Kerapoxy Cleaner - a ready-to-use solution for the removal of epoxy residue after grouting.
UltraCare HD Cleaner - an intensive alkaline treatment for deep cleaning and restoration.
UltraCare Acid Cleaner – a concentrated ‘buffered’ acid cleaner.
