A new advanced range of locally manufactured building products has hit the market with the aim of assisting contractors to work smarter and improve the overall quality of building work completed.

The building range, which was developed by construction chemical company Mapei, consists of a variety of commercial and residential general-purpose building products as well as high performing technical products.

By manufacturing the products locally, the company says it will ensure a reliable and continuous supply of building products throughout the country at a competitive price. In addition, the use of carefully selected and tested local raw materials is also designed to benefit local suppliers as well as to complement the company’s impressive BBBEE rating.

A solution system

Mapei managing director, Antony Offenburg says the company is known worldwide for its innovation and product development, “which means we are always looking at ways to improve our products for the customer whilst continuously keeping our impact on the environment in mind. As a result, we have developed products that use less water, are rapid setting with, low volatile emissions than most available on the market today and adapted for specific usage.

“We consider our products as part of a solution system rather than a one-off application. As such, all our products are formulated in a manner that when used together on an application gives the best possible outcome. Our products are competitively priced and are manufactured to international standards allowing for a combination of consistent, high quality end results,” says Antony.
