Mapei Supports Fast-track Installation At Haven Kent Coast Aqua Park
A Mapei tiling system has been used to complete an extensive leisure project at Haven Kent Coast Holiday Park. The installation included waterproofing and the installation of porcelain tiling throughout the Aqua Park pool areas and the changing village. The Mapei system was chosen, in partnership with architect Space & Place, to facilitate a fast-track installation with full warranty backing. The project was delivered by Medlock FRB for Haven, with Cumming Group acting as the project manager and quantity surveyor.

Formerly Allhallows Leisure Park, Haven Kent Coast has undergone a multi-million-pound upgrade and now includes an updated Aqua Park and Adventure Village with high-octane activities. Mapei’s system-led solution was installed throughout the new indoor pool and outdoor pool areas, Atlantis Falls waterslide’s start and landing pools, and showers and changing areas. The installation area totalled over 1,200 square metres.

Within the new heated indoor pool complex, a bonded screed was applied to the base and Planitop Fast 330 quick-setting, fibre-reinforced cementitious levelling mortar was applied to prepare the tank walls. Within the outdoor pool areas, a replacement screed incorporating Idrosilex waterproofing admixture was applied, along with Planitop Fast 330 to the walls. Idrosilex was also added to the sand/cement screed used for the pool surround, and cracks were treated with Eporip solvent-free epoxy adhesive. In both pools, Mapelastic was applied as the waterproofing layer and pool tiles were bonded with Keraquick S1 cementitious adhesive and finished with Kerapoxy Easy Design epoxy grout.

Within the Changing Village, floors were prepared with a screed containing Topcem - a special fast-drying hydraulic binder - and walls with Planitop Fast 330. Mapelastic AquaDefense rapid-drying liquid membrane was used to waterproof the shower areas. Tiles were installed using Keraquick S1 and joints were grouted with Ultracolor Plus quick-setting cementitious mortar.

The specified Mapei mortar, binder, adhesive and grout each feature very low VOC EMICODE: ECI Plus-certified formulations, for a safe installation environment, and the specification included products with CO2e offset in the entire life cycle.
