Sustainable Mapei system joins spec at world-leading Eclipse Leisure Centre.
https://buff.ly/WBRcMev A #Mapei #tiling system has been used to complete a surface installation #project at Spelthorne’s Eclipse #Leisure Centre – one of the world’s most advanced energy-efficient leisure centres. The installation, carried out by Global #Ceramic Tiling for Willmott Dixon, spanned the #swimming #pool, #wellness areas and changing rooms. It features a variety of #porcelain #tiles, along with Mapei EMICODE: EC1 Plus certified #sustainable formulations and products from Mapei Zero line, with CO2 emissions fully offset in the entire life cycle.
Designed by GT3 #Architects and constructed by Willmott Dixon, the Eclipse Leisure Centre seeks to be one of the UK's largest wet and dry leisure centres to achieve #Passivhaus, and the first in #London. Facilities include a low-chemical 25m main pool, learner pool and splash pad, spa and #sports facilities. The leisure club spans over 100,000 ft2 and has a dementia-friendly design to meet whole community needs. Ultra-energy efficient and future-climate ready, it aims to consume up to 60% less energy compared with a standard new #building.
The #tile installation included swimming pool surrounds, wellness areas and wet and dry changing areas and featured 300 x 300 mm and 300 x 600 mm porcelain tiles, supplied by Spec Tile. During the installation, #surfaces were prepared by Advance #Screeding. Mapei Topcem - a special fast drying hydraulic #screed binder – was applied to form a complex set of falls within the changing rooms and to level common areas to a super flat SR1 surface regularity. Mapelastic AquaDefense ready-to-use rapid-drying liquid membrane was applied to #waterproof damp areas throughout the complex.
All tiles were installed with Mapei Keraquick S1 quick-setting, deformable #adhesive and fixed with Ultracolor Plus anti-efflorescence, quick-setting and drying polymer-modified #grout, which feature water-repellent DropEffect® and mould-resistant BioBlock® technology. Both products have since become part of Mapei’s Zero Line. Mapei Topcem, along with Keraquick S1 and Ultracolor Plus, also benefit from EMICODE: EC1 Plus formulations.
