A sustainable Mapei system has been specified at the BREEAM Excellent certified Forest of Dean Community Hospital.
A resilient floor installation has been completed with a sustainable Mapei system at the new Forest of Dean Community Hospital. The installation, which featured designs from Forbo, was completed by Rotherham-based Titan Flooring for Speller Metcalfe. The Mapei specification included floor preparation products and adhesives, each featuring EMICODE: EC1 Plus formulations.
Designed by ONE, Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust’s new 24-bed community hospital is located close to Cinderford town centre. It occupies the site of a former skatepark which is being relocated closer to a new park and recreational facilities. Historically, the land was a coal mine and post-industrial site and during construction numerous challenges were overcome to transform the site into a sustainable community asset.
The new hospital has been designed to achieve BREEAM Excellent certification and showcases various features that make it a model of sustainability and environmental best practice; It will be a net contributor of electricity and its sustainable design features ‘a nice thick jumper’ – extremely thick, 250mm installation in its walls and roofs. Relying solely on electricity, it also uses alternative source heat pumps, mechanical ventilation recovery systems and on-site renewable energy sources.

They included two preparation products – Latexplan Trade protein-free, low odour levelling and smoothing compound and Eco Prim T Plus, a universal acrylic primer. Flooring was installed with Ultrabond Eco VS90 Plus hard set, highly shear resistant, wet-bed dispersion adhesive.
