Recently, a new community venue, the Wavendon Community Hub in Buckinghamshire, used Mapei preparation products in order to complete an Altro floor installation. Works were completed with sheet vinyl and walkway flooring installed throughout the building using Mapei floor preparation products and EMICODE EC1 Plus-certified adhesive.
In keeping with surrounding properties, the community hub is constructed in red/buff brick, with pitched tiled roofs and PPC Aluminium windows and doors. The building is comprised of two separate halves – a community side with a vaulted hall space and a large area with changing facilities. Resilient flooring was specified throughout the centre and installed over underfloor heating.
Various Mapei products were used throughout the process to ensure long-lasting, reliable flooring. During preparation works, Mapeproof One Coat damp proof membrane was applied over the sand and cement screed to suppress residual and construction moisture. Eco Prim Grip Plus – a ready-to-use low odour and solvent-free primer which enhances bonding – was then applied. This was followed by a protein-free, low odour formulation with high compressive strength levelling and smoothing compound, Latexplan Trade. Flooring was then installed with Ultrabond Eco VS90 Plus – a hard, fast setting wet bed dispersion adhesive with high shear resistance and a EMICODE EC1 Plus-certified formulation with very low emissions.
