Mapei have provided a one-stop flooring installation solution for the new Sony Ericsson site in Coventry. A fast-track system of screed, levelling compound, adhesives and grout was selected to install floor coverings in large format porcelain tile and large Oak planks throughout the office and technical blocks in both buildings.
Nottingham Flooring, on behalf of Bowmer & Kirkland Ltd of Derby, specified and installed Mapei products throughout the reception area, kitchens, shower rooms and atriums.
Mapei’s Topcem rapid-drying screed, installed by Telling Finishings Ltd, was used to prepare the ground floor substrate within the reception areas ready for the installation of porcelain tiles. Thanks to its fast-drying properties, Topcem hardens within 24 hours, making it perfect for installations like this where time was at a premium.
Nottingham Flooring then installed 600x300 Porcelain Tiles with Mapei Keraquick rapid set flexible adhesive. Ideal for all types of tiles Keraquick was also used to install ceramic tiles to walls and floors throughout catering kitchens and toilet and shower rooms. All tiles were grouted with Mapei Ultracolor Plus rapid setting and drying flexible grout. Anti-mould and water-repellent Ultracolor Plus is ideal for wet areas.
Latexplan Trade levelling compound was used throughout the project as required.
Mapei Ultrabond P990 1K adhesive was selected to install 20 ½ mm thick Oak Planks to the first and second floor atriums and dining room. The ready-to-use, solvent-free and odourless adhesive was ideal for ease of use on site and is suitable for all types and sizes of wooden flooring.
