A MAPEI system has been used to complete an extensive LVT floor installation at Islington Wharf 4, Manchester – a collection of 106 contemporary-styled canalside apartments. The installation was completed for Morgan Sindall Construction on behalf of Waterside Places and Latimer Developments. It spanned 7000sq m and featured Amtico Acoustic LVT flooring.

Set in Manchester’s New Islington, the £21 million development is the final phase of a 20-year regeneration of the area delivered by Waterside Places – a joint venture between national placemaker Muse and the Canal and River Trust. The landmark 15-storey building, designed by Ryder Architecture, includes one- and two-bedroom canalside apartments finished to the highest standard and overlooking the New Islington Marina. Within the development, 54 apartments are available for affordable sale on a shared ownership basis. The development benefits from a ground floor convenience store, a Metrolink stop for fast access to the city centre and Manchester Piccadilly train station is a 10-minute walk away.

All Mapei products specified at Islington Wharf benefit from EMICODE: EC1 Plus formulations, with very low VOC’s, promoting a safe application and environment. Mapeproof Primer – a one-component, rapid drying ready-to-use waterproof surface membrane and Latexplan Trade – a protein-free, low odour levelling and smoothing compound – were used to prepare floors throughout apartments and corridors, says Mapei. Amtico Acoustic was then installed within apartments using Ultrabond Eco 4 LVT fibre-reinforced adhesive, which is said to be a shear resistant, hard-set, wet-bed formulation.
