Mapei Q&A

Posted by Caitlin Davis on 14th Nov 2024

Mapei was founded in 1937, and established in 1989. After moving to the west midlands in 2004, Mapei claimed its leading position in the flooring industry. With a huge variety of products such as adhesives, primers, screeds and much more, Mapei is a one stop shop for all your floor preparation needs.

Which Mapei Adhesive Is Used For Fitting LVT?

The recommended adhesive for fitting LVT tiles is the Mapei Ultrabond Eco 4 LVT. Featuring compatibility with underfloor heating systems as well as environments that are subject to heavy foot traffic, this adhesive is suitable for a variety of domestic and commercial settings.

The Ultrabond Eco 4 LVT highlights a strong initial grab as well as a rapid set time of 3-5 hours for light foot traffic, making this adhesive extremely versatile as it can be used in jobs with tight deadlines as well as being able to bond other floor coverings such as PVC, rubber and vinyl.

What Is The Mapei Ultraplan Renovation Screed?

The Mapei Ultraplan Renovation Screed is a fiber reinforced self levelling compound which is used for levelling original flooring before the new floor covering is fitted. This screed is only suitable for interior use, however it can be used in both domestic and commercial settings, due to it being long lasting and highly durable.

This Screed can be used over new or existing concrete, screeds, stone, terrazzo and ceramic tiles, old and new timber floors, floor boards, chipboard panels & plywood. After 40-90 minutes the screed will set and after 3-12 hours of drying time the floor should be suitable for foot traffic.

What Is The Mapei Primer G?

Mapei Primer G is a synthetic resin primer which is used on gypsum surfaces before floor installation. This primer provides a coat to prevent absorption which improves bond strength for adhesion to self leveling compounds and adhesive for tiles. This Primer should be applied using a roller for an even and consistent coat.

With a rapid drying time of 2 hours, Mapei Primer G is great for use on deadline driven jobs and is available in a variety of sizes which suit the scale of each job. Featuring many benefits, this primer is suitable for both domestic and commercial spaces.
