From industrial settings to museums: functional flooring in line with the latest trends in contemporary design.
Contemporary and modern design aesthetics are always an interesting challenge for any home decorator. There are so many iterations and variations of styles, from mid-century modern to minimalism, that it can be hard to know whether you’re being cutting edge or pushing things too far. Luckily, if you’re trying to bring a modern look to your home through your flooring choices, Mapei offers a range of Ultratop systems that help you with versatile and rapid setting products. Let us discuss the Ultratop range of products:
Ultratop, the key product in the Ultratop System, is a rapid-setting and hardening, self-leveling mortar available in 6 different colors (light grey, white, beige, red, anthracite, and standard). It is easy to apply with either hand tools or a pump and is used to form abrasion-resistant floor coatings between 5 to 40mm thick. It is suitable for use in a wide variety of settings, which demonstrate the enormous versatility of this product. Amongst all the key features of the products, are undoubtedly its application, speed, and rapid hardening properties. Another characteristic that encourages the use of Ultratop in Industrial settings is its very high resistance to abrasion.
In fact, flooring made from Ultratop is highly suited in areas where wheeled vehicles are used frequently, such as logistics hubs, production areas, warehouses and production facilities in general.
