Djordje Jovanovic, Mapei Serbia - Quick and efficient bathroom renovation is achievable with modern quick-drying materials

It often happens that we postpone the renovation of our bathrooms, for various reasons. This often happens due to the fear of long-term and complicated works. Sometimes we postpone it because of a lack of information or because of doubts regarding the choice of materials and design. However, the moment has come to consider the possibilities of modern quick-drying solutions. These construction materials bring changes in the field of adaptations. Thanks to them, the main construction works can be completed in just five days.

Djordje Jovanovic, a professional with expertise in ceramic tile products at at Mapei Serbia, shared with us information about the method, recommended materials and realistic time frames for efficient bathroom adaptation.

- Its main advantage is a quick drying process. Unlike traditional screed that take up to 28 days to dry, our compound dries completely in just 4 days. After just 24 hours, you can start installing ceramic tiles on the surface, because it quickly achieves the required strength. Also, waterproofing is possible after only 24 hours. This mixture is prepared simply by mixing it with water. A notable benefit is its thin application – it can be installed with just a 1.5 cm thickness. This is of great importance for owners and architects, because during adaptations it will not significantly affect the height of the floor level.

- Waterproofing is of fundamental importance for every bathroom. Its role is to actively and effectively prevent water leakage, which preserves the integrity of the compound, walls and other parts of the structure. Through this measure, we take care not only of the quality and safety of our space, but also of the surrounding environment, enabling us all to live carefree, without inconvenience or potential problems.

- That`s right, people often forget how important the joints are for the final appearance of the bathroom. Although the color and pattern of the tiles play an important role, the importance of the joints should not be overlooked. They can have a decisive influence on the overall aesthetic impression and functionality of the bathroom.

- Of course, Ultracolor Plus is a great choice for tile grouting. This cement grout is water-repellent and mold-resistant, which is very important for maintaining a high level of hygiene in the bathroom. It is also easy to clean, making it even easier to maintain cleanliness. What is particularly attractive is the wide range of colors that Ultracolor Plus offers. There is a lot of room for originality and creativity here, because you can make a choice that will fit perfectly into your vision.

- The mark "ZERO" indicates that Ultracolor Plus is a CO 2 fully offset in the entire life cycle. The concept of "carbon neutrality" at Mapei was introduced ten years ago, when the famous Keraflex Maxi S1 cement adhesive was renamed to Keraflex Maxi S1 Zero. This transformation resulted in the neutralization of CO2 emissions through the acquisition of certified credits from projects related to alternative energy sources and forestry protection. By introducing the "ZERO - CO2 neutral" solution line, Mapei has achieved a reduction of its total carbon footprint by more than 10% in the last five years. Through quality, durable and sustainable products such as adhesives for laying ceramic tiles and stone, as well as Ultracolor Plus grout, Mapei has enabled users to choose materials without a negative impact on climate change during construction projects.

- I invite them to be active in the decision-making process, to ask questions to experts and to educate themselves about the characteristics of the material and the available possibilities. With Mapei materials, they have the opportunity to furnish their bathroom with innovative solutions that provide a high level of hygiene, durability and aesthetics.
