Mapetex is a specialized non-woven fabric designed to reduce stresses within the substrate, thereby maintaining the integrity of the tiled surface. When applied correctly, Mapetex effectively dissipates stresses in various types of floor substrates, helping to prevent cracks in the tile finish, particularly over imperfect surfaces. In many instances, it eliminates the need for additional overboarding with plywood or other materials, making it ideal for both restoration projects and new constructions, including those using underfloor heating systems.

Planitop Fast 330 is a rapid-set, fibre-reinforced cementitious levelling mortar suitable for both internal and external applications. This versatile product can be applied in layers ranging from 3 to 30 mm, effectively evening out irregularities on walls and floors. Composed of a grey, one-component formula with very low emissions of volatile organic compounds (EMICODE EC1), it combines special cementitious binders, selected aggregates, synthetic resins, and additives developed in MAPEI’s Research & Development labs. When mixed with water, it offers excellent workability and h
Adesilex P4 is a grey powder made from cement, finely graded mineral fillers, and a high content of synthetic resins and special additives developed in the MAPEI Research Laboratories. When mixed with water, it forms a semi-fluid, easily trowel able mortar that guarantees 100% back-buttering. This versatile adhesive can create beds ranging from 3 mm to 20 mm thick without undulations, making it ideal for external installations and areas with heavy traffic. Adesilex P4 accommodates substrate and tile deviations, bonds effectively with all common building materials, cures quickly with
Mapenet 150 is an alkali-resistant glass fiber mesh designed to reinforce waterproofing, anti-fracture membranes, and insulation coatings. It is particularly suitable for enhancing the waterproofing properties of MAPELASTIC and MAPELASTIC SMART membranes. The mesh is constructed from glass fibers treated with a special primer, ensuring resistance to alkalis as per EAD specification 040016-00-0404, which replaced ETAG 004 on October 28, 2020. Once the waterproofing layer is cured, Mapenet 150 provides reinforcement to help prevent cracks resulting from substrate movement or surface te
Mapelastic Smart is a two-component, high-flexibility cementitious mortar designed for waterproofing balconies, terraces, bathrooms, and swimming pools. Formulated with cementitious binders, fine aggregates, special additives, and synthetic polymers in water dispersion, it provides a plastic consistency upon mixing. This versatile mortar can be applied using a brush, roller, or spray with a worm screw rendering machine on both horizontal and vertical surfaces, achieving a thickness of approximately 2 mm. Its high-quality synthetic resins ensure that the hardened layer remains flexibl
Mapelastic Foundation is a two-component mortar formulated with cementitious binders, fine inert materials, inorganic fibres, special additives, and synthetic polymers in a water dispersion. When the components are mixed, they create a plastic consistency suitable for application with a roller or spray on both horizontal and vertical surfaces at a minimum thickness of 2 mm. The high-quality synthetic resins in Mapelastic Foundation ensure that the hardened layer is highly flexible and stable in various environmental conditions. This product is completely waterproof against positive pressure an
