Quick renovation for tiling works

 May 12, 2021. 4:17 AM

Why do we need Fast setting systems?

There are various situations whereby fast setting systems are required at job sites.  One of the reasons could be that commercial projects require quick turnaround time to open for business operations.  Sometimes, the project requires applicators to complete the works in a short notice and they do not have the time to wait for the prior application using normal-setting products to set & cure.  Environmental factors play a part, such as high humidity which may compromise drying time.  The characteristic of the stone material used – certain stones can be sensitive to humidity causing it to warp. Therefore, it is recommended to use a fast setting adhesive for the stone installation, a rapid-drying screed binder that can achieve a low % of residual moisture in the screed after a few days etc. In this case, the ideal solution will require fast setting system products.

Mapei Singapore has a range of fast setting products for tiling works, waterproofing, soundproofing, laying screeds and more to meet the demands of quick renovation.
