URBAN DESIGN: create functional, durable and aesthetic urban environments

It is becoming more and more important that the city's outdoor spaces should not only be functional, but also aesthetically pleasing and durable. To realize this vision, you can lay stone pavements, color the asphalt pavement or perhaps a combination of both. By doing this, you help to create more inviting and inspiring environments for the city's residents and visitors. Solutions for precisely this are part of our new concept "URBAN DESIGN".

Coloring the urban environment

Colors play a central role in creating atmosphere and mood in urban environments. When it comes to painting public surfaces such as roads, playgrounds, sports fields, pedestrian streets and squares, the choice of colors is a decisive factor in our opinion. Bright and lively colors can give an energetic and lively expression, while more muted and natural colors can create a calmer and more harmonious atmosphere. By combining different colors and patterns, you can create visual effects that direct the eye and create visual interest in the urban space.

Mapei has delivered the street painting system MAPECOAT TNS EXTREME to several projects both in Norway and the rest of Europe. The system is very durable and hard-wearing - and with a little simple maintenance, the color lasts a long time. You can get the paint in many different colors (e.g. RAL color codes) and we can also help you find a special color so that you get the color you want for your project.

We have several years of experience and knowledge of specially mixing colors for different types of projects. See, for example, what we delivered to Vestre's furniture factory "The Plus" in Innlandet.

Durable and sustainable solutions for the urban environment

Climate change increases the need for sustainable solutions in urban planning. When it comes to laying stone pavements and, for example, street painting, durability and resistance to Norwegian weather conditions are important factors to consider. Materials and paint types must be able to withstand wear, UV radiation, rain, snow and temperature fluctuations over time. In addition, the environmental impact of the chosen materials and paint types should also be taken into account to ensure that they do not contribute negatively to climate change.

For us at Mapei, "URBAN DESIGN" is about helping to create durable, engaging and attractive urban environments with sustainable solutions for both paving and street painting. Contact our technical experts if you have an idea, a project or just have questions about what we can offer. We help you!
