Mapei creates industrial-style at Everlast Gyms – with more to follow

Mapei’s Ultratop Loft floor finish has been installed at Everlast Gyms – Shirebrook in Mansfield. The installation, by Rossington Contracts, is part of an extensive refurbishment and ‘elevation’ programme which will include installations at up to 60 sites throughout the UK. Mapei’s industrial-style floor finish was chosen to complement the gym’s urban design, whilst providing high performance and abrasion resistance.

Located at the Frasers Group complex, the relaunched Everlast Gyms – Shirebrook features new equipment and elevated group training, along with new changing facilities, a new reception area and Smoothie Bar. Throughout the site, the Mapei Ultratop Loft installation totals over 300m2 and spans the reception and retail area, corridors and stairs, and training areas.

Ultratop Loft was specified throughout the venue. Following installation of the cement-based system, Rossington Contracts applied a finishing coat of clear matt polyurethane, Mapefloor Finish 58W.

Available in over 120 colours, including a variety of popular grey shades, Mapei Ultratop Loft is a rapid-drying, micro-cement system that combines two separate components: coarse grained Ultratop Loft F and finer grained Ultratop Loft W which are mixed with water to create a trowellable cementitious paste that is applied in layers at 1mm thick. Both components were used at Everlast Gyms – Shirebrook, creating a surface that was set to foot traffic within three hours. Mapefloor Finish 58W – which can be applied six to 24 hours after application of Ultratop Loft – provides additional resistance to wear, abrasion and chemicals, creating an easy care, highly-durable surface.
