Kevin Field, UK Sales Manager for Mapei, commented: “At Mapei we have been delighted at the flooring market’s response to our existing surface membranes, Mapeproof ESM and Mapeproof 1K Turbo, over the last few years, and are pleased to address the market requirement for
a single coat product with the launch of Mapeproof One Coat. At Mapei, investing heavily in R&D annually enables us to do this and we are confident that our recently extended Mapeproof range presents a surface applied DPM offer for any given situation.”
Mapeproof One Coat is launched onto the UK market this month and is supported by technical and promotional literature for distributors and contractors.
