1 Guide to help choose Grouts and Flexible Joints Residential Industrial Commercial

2 CEMENTITIOUS GROUTS Residential Industrial Mapei has a complete range of grouts for all types of internal and external ceramic, cotto, stone and glass mosaic floors and coatings. For example, cementitious grouts are particularly suitable for residential use such as bathrooms, kitchens, swimming pools, external façades, balconies and terraces, for commercial environments such as grouting tiles in supermarkets, restaurants, airports and public buildings and for floors in industrial environments.

4 EPOXY GROUTS Residential Thanks to their technical characteristics, the range of grouting materials for epoxy joints is particularly suitable when particular requirements for hygiene and resistance to aggressive chemicals are required. They are used, therefore, in residential and commercial environments to guarantee a highly attractive and decorative finish along with their good performance figures, and in all industrial environments where very high resistance to chemicals and high strength are required, together with resistance to acids and hydrocarbons, such as for floors in the foodstuffs industries (meat factories, oil mills, etc.).

6 READY-TO-USE PRODUCTS IN PASTE FORM Residential Urban Mapei has developed a range of paste products which, because of their nature, are particularly easy to use. The range includes a flexible polymer grout suitable for coatings on façades, including those applied on flexible substrates, and a highly thixotropic adhesive paste which bonds immediately with no slip.

8 SYSTEMS FOR LAYING PORPHYRY AND ROUGH-CUT STONE Urban features Residential Mapei has developed a system of drainage products for laying and grouting porphyry and paving stones which, according to the characteristics, are more suitable for bearing either heavy loads or intense traffic. Paving stones have been used to make the most beautiful squares and ancient town centres, but are also used for pedestrian areas, pavements, cycle lanes and heavily trafficked roads, as well as in residential buildings such as external courtyards, stairways and landings.
