MAPEI’s Ultracoat range is said by the company to provide various treatments for all types of wood flooring. ‘Completing Mapei’s whole system solutions, the range provides a raft of safety, health and environmental benefits.’

Best-selling products for contract floors include Ultracoat Premium Base primer and highly resistant Ultracoat HT 2K lacquer, continues Mapei.

Water-based primer, Ultracoat Premium Base is a two-component undercoat that’s designed for preparing solid and pre-sanded wooden floors and surfaces under repair for water-based finishing cycles. The treated timber can be sanded after 12 hours or varnished after two hours.

Continues Mapei: ‘Ultracoat HT 2K is a water-based finish designed to protect wood floors exposed to high levels of foot traffic and provide high resistance to abrasion and rubber sole marks.

‘The varnish has a 100% polyurethane formulation and is aliphatic, so will not yellow over time. It’s offered in four gloss levels which protect and enhance timber tone, without altering appearance, and also provides resistance to bacterial attacks.’

Adds the company: ‘Finished floors are dust dry after 25 minutes, touch dry after 40 minutes and can be returned to use after 36-48 hours. For exotic hardwoods, application of Ultracoat Premium Base is recommended.

‘All Ultracoat treatments are NMP-free, with low VOC emissions and high insulation. They also have Bfl-s1 and Cfl-s1 fire resistance certification and EC1 R Plus by GEV. Ultracoat Premium is offered in a 0.5 and 6 litre unit and Ultracoat HT 2K is available in a 0.5 and 5 litre unit.’

For ongoing wood maintenance and deep cleaning, Ultracoat cleaner reportedly removes the most stubborn dirt without comprising protection, leaving surfaces fresh and hygienised.

Concludes Mapei: ‘Other Mapei cleaning solutions – for daily maintenance of resilient floors, and wood floors with an oiled or lacquered finish – include UltraCare MultiCleaner. Part of Mapei’s Zero Line, with CO2 fully offset in the entire lifecycle, MultiCleaner is a high-yield floor cleaner that can also be used on all types of tile and stone.’
