MAPEI has extended its UltraCare range with the introduction of eight products dedicated to floor, tile, and surface protection. The treatments join nine existing UltraCare cleaning products, launched in the UK last October.

Aimed at professionals and DIY enthusiasts, Mapei’s UltraCare cleaners and protectors represent ‘an innovative, versatile and reliable system that simplifies application, while guaranteeing durability for every type of surface’.

‘With the launch of these eight new surface protection products, we now offer a complete range of tile care and maintenance products to complement the Mapei system. The Mapei offer will represent the only one that helps professionals and end-users from installation right up to the protection and maintenance of surfaces in private, commercial, and industrial settings,’ said UltraCare category manager, Lisa Breakspear.

The company says: ‘The new protectors, formulated in the Mapei Research Laboratories, guarantee high performance, and meet various specific requirements: from colour enhancing and providing water and oil-repellent protection for surfaces including natural and artificial stone, cement, terrazzo, to the protection of tiles prior to grouting and of polished porcelain tiles with cementitious grout joints.

‘The new UltraCare treatments provide a safe and easy-to-use solution for the most diverse sites, from new installations to the protection and maintenance of existing surfaces in the most varied commercial and residential settings.

‘Supplied ready to use, UltraCare protectors don’t need to be diluted when applied on dry or slightly damp (depending on the type of product) and clean materials; they can be applied with a brush, cloth, or fleece applicator.’
