Mapei connects surfaces at BT’s global headquarters
An extensive porcelain installation, at BT’s new global headquarters, has recently been completed by Stone & Ceramic using a Mapei system. The project – at One Braham in Aldgate, East London – featured Solus terrazzo, terrazzo-effect fl ooring and porcelain tiles throughout the reception area, stairs, landings and lift lobbies. It was completed for main contractor, ISG. The stunning terrazzo-effect fl oor spanned the 800 m2 ground fl oor reception area, 15 stair levels, treads, landings and a further 100 m2 client check-in area. Stone & Ceramic used Mapei Mapeguard UM 35 – a waterproofi ng, uncoupling and anti-fracture membrane – throughout the fl oor areas. Tiles were installed with Mapei’s Keraquick XL Fibrelite adhesive – a fi bre-reinforced high yield cement-based rapid setting adhesive – and Kerapoxy Adhesive – a two-component epoxy resin based adhesive – was used to bond tiles to metal staircases. The lift lobby areas were fi nished with a large format Solus porcelain design; Stone & Ceramic installed the 1,200 x 600 mm tiles with Mapei’s Ultralite S2 adhesive – a one-component, high-performance, highly-deformable, lightweight cementitious adhesive.

Alumno conceived and delivered a sophisticated and welcoming space for Element Bermondsey, a new student accommodation overlooking Bermondsey Spa Gardens. To do this, Forbo Flooring Systems’ Sarlon and Safestep fl oor coverings were specifi ed, for
their technical and aesthetic qualities. Forbo’s Sarlon 19 dB was specifi ed in Silver Concrete for the hallways and kitchen areas, and Anthracite Nairobi in the bedrooms; both offer an attractive, neutral baseline for the rooms. Forbo’s Safestep product was used in the ensuite bathrooms, offering a good level of slip resistance.
