MAPEI CONCRETE REPAIR SYSTEM PROTECTS & COMPLEMENTS BEACHFRONT SHORELINE
A Mapei Concrete Repair and Protection System has been specified for repair works at Shoreline Restaurant & Bar in Devon . The contemporary glass-fronted venue overhangs Paignton ’ s Eastern Esplanade and benefits from panoramic sea views . Over time , the building ’ s concrete columns , beams and soffits began showing signs of deterioration , with cracking and spalling caused by steel reinforcement corrosion brought on by the aggressive seaside environment .
Due to the weather conditions , the repair works were completed as part of the first phase of works and Elastocolor Paint Anti-Carbonation Coating System was then applied later .
Mapei Elastocolor Paint is an elastic anti-carbonation coating which protects concrete and cement renders from the aggressive elements that can cause corrosion , making it an ideal choice in this instance for long-term coastal protection .
Elastocolor Paint is offered in a wide range of colours . For this particular project , Elastocolor was applied to an area of 500m ²; the shade chosen from the extensive Mapei ColorMap colour range complemented the restaurant and its beachfront setting .
