OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS ALL SEASONS Mapei extends the landscaping calendar with paving solutions.
Outdoor living spaces have become increasingly popular post pandemic. With the average UK garden giving an additional 188m2
of extra living space, they deliver valuable extra

ideal for 20mm porcelain and natural stone. Installed pavers are foot-traffic ready after approximately 12 hours and patios can be fully used after approximately four days.
The new range also includes MapePave Brush-in Grout – a ready-to-use polybutadiene-based drainage mortar for grouting pavers with joints of at least 5mm in width. Forming a strong bond and hardening quickly, MapePave joints are particularly resistant to jet washing and de-icing salts, allow fast penetration of rainwater and resist freeze/thaw cycles, as well as the formation of moss and weeds. Joints can be stepped on after 24 hours and are fully-hardened after seven days.
