STUNNING MASTIC ASPHALT FLOORING PROJECT COMPLETED AT ROYAL COLLEGE OF ART ’ S
Mastic asphalt is most commonly associated with roofing applications but due to its waterproofing properties , durability and versatility , it is being specified for more and more flooring projects .
Although mastic asphalt is one of the world ’ s oldest construction materials , it can sometimes be perceived as a onedimensional waterproofing product only available in a standard black finish . But mastic asphalt is being re-imagined as a highly relevant building material for today .
Mastic Asphalt Council contractor member Bell Asphalt has recently completed a stunning mastic asphalt flooring project at the Royal College of Art ’ s new £ 135m campus in Battersea , London , within the Battersea Creative Quarter . The 500m2 project was so impressive that it was shortlisted for the ‘ Best Development and Hybrid ’ Project at the MAC Awards 2022 .
The new building was designed by Herzog & de Meuron and the mastic asphalt flooring system was chosen to reflect the college ’ s creativity , whilst ensuring a highly durable , low maintenance flooring solution .
Bell Asphalt installed a mastic asphalt flooring system incorporating terrazzo . Decorative stone chippings were incorporated with mastic asphalt and the surface was polished to create the distinctive terrazzo appearance .
The Mastic Asphalt Council ( MAC ) is the trade association for the mastic asphalt industry in the UK . The association has a new CPD presentation entitled ‘ Mastic Asphalt : Flooring Solutions ’ which can be delivered online or in person .
