Tech Tip – Glass Tile Considerations MAPEIUSA 2022-11-08 | Glass tiles are not just for mosaics. They offer a range of colors and textures that turn backsplashes and more into works of art. But installing glass tile requires some considerations. For example, the mortar and grout that are used can enhance the glass or can dull the tile’s translucency. In addition, glass tiles typically expand and contract in heat and cold at a greater rate than ceramic tiles. These issues can be accommodated for with the setting products that are used, but which ones work in which circumstances?

MAPEI Webinar – Updates on MAPEI’s Self-Leveling Underlayments MAPEIUSA 2022-09-29 | Do you use self-levelers for concrete floors? Self-leveling underlayments (SLUs) can smooth, patch, fill, repair, skimcoat and level concrete substrates and, not surprisingly, the chemistries behind each SLU are slightly different depending on the function. How do you decide which SLU is best for your job? For example, what is the best self- leveler for a concrete floor that has a slope and multiple cracks? Also, do you have to use a primer before installing a SLU? And what are the latest recommendations about installing SLUs on top of wooden floors?

MAPEI / Roads & Bridges — Corrosion Mitigation of Traditionally Reinforced Concrete Structures MAPEIUSA 2022-05-26 | Co-produced with Roads & Bridges magazineConcrete structures can be damaged by many factors besides normal wear and tear — rain, snow, de-icing salts, all causing damage to concrete structures. And repair cycles can be delayed until the damage is too great and the road or bridge must be shut down to be repaired. However, there is a faster system of structural strengthening that allows for minimal downtime, resulting in repairs that are as strong as, if not stronger than, the new concrete.03:01 Learning Objectives03:59 Causes of Corrosion in Concrete Structures15:50 Chloride-Induced Corrosion29:50 Corrosion Mitigation Requirements33:17 MAPEI Solutions for Corrosion Mitigation54:59 Contact Information, Questions & AnswersFor more information, click the links below:Corrosion inhibitors admixture: mapei.com/us/en-us/products-and-solutions/products/admixtures-for-concrete/corrosion-inhibitorsSilica fume: mapei.com/us/en-us/products-and-solutions/products/admixtures-for-concrete/silica-fumeCorrosion protection products: mapei.com/us/en-us/products-and-solutions/products/products-for-structural-strengthening/corrosion-protectionCarbon fiber rod (Maperod C): mapei.com/us/en-us/products-and-solutions/products/detail/maperod--cWaterproofing: mapei.com/us/en-us/products-and-solutions/products/?q=planiseal%20wrSacrificial galvanic anode: mapei.com/us/en-us/products-and-solutions/products/?q=anodeRoads & Bridges magazine: roadsbridges.comTo watch more MAPEI webinars:mapei.com/us/en-us/training-and-technical-service/webinarsSign up to receive Realtà MAPEI magazine by mail or by email at:mapei.com/us/en-us/registerContact us:mapei.com/us/en-us/product-informationJoin us on social @mapeiusaIG: instagram.com/mapeiusaFB: facebook.com/mapeiusaLI: linkedin.com/company/mapeiusaTW: twitter.com/mapeiusa

Tech Tip: Dry Blending Grout MAPEIUSA 2022-05-03 | Do you dry blend grout? If you are using cement grout, you should. Logan explains why this simple step is crucial to ensuring color consistency.
