About Maplette Flooring


Maplette flooring is a wood composite, environmentally friendly product, manufactured in South Africa. It is a hard wearing, warm, resilient and cost effective floor that has been used in a wide variety of applications, industrial and non-industrial, for the past 92 years.

Non-industrial uses include community, sport, school, gymnasium, exhibition and multi-purpose halls. It has also been used successfully in passageways, high traffic areas, classrooms, lecture theatres, libraries, laboratories, dining halls, as well as restaurants and bars.

Industrial uses are abundant due to it’s hardwearing abilities to withstand heavy weights. Maplette is SABS approved to be anti static, non-spark, non-conductive and fire proof. The floor is resistant to oils and most chemicals.

These properties have made the floor popular in warehouses, engineering workshops, flammable and explosive areas, and numerous other industries including the printing, paper, plastic and textile trades. Due to the fact that the chemical composition of the floor renders it to be mildly antiseptic, it inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi therefore making it vermin proof. For this reason it has been laid in numerous food factories, bakeries, mills and hospital stores.

Features


Wearing Qualities

Abrasive or wear resistance can vary according to your needs. Durability from that of soft marble.

Structural Strengths

MAPLETTE floors have a high structural strength with transverse strengths estimated at approximately 1000 kg per 25 mm ² and compression at about 2700 kg per 25 mm ² . MAPLETTE will strengthen the deflection of a wooden floor four times.

Short curing time

MAPLETTE floors set rapidly and may be subjected to normal traffic 24 hours after installations. No damp curing is required.

Resistance to oil

MAPLETTE floors are highly resistant to the action of Mineral, Animal and Vegetable oils and grease over a long period of time (in fact, most oils have a beneficial effect).

Thermal properties

MAPLETTE floors are low in heat and sound transference.

Acoustics

Leveling layer of flooring absorbs surface shock, making the floor extremely pleasant to work on. No rubber mats or duck boarding needed.

Resilience

Very low in sound transference, excellent acoustic properties for libraries, halls and on top of suspended wooden floors.

Resistance to Static Electricity

Floors may be specially prepared to prevent sparking due to mechanical impact. Ideal for ammunition and chemical plants, petrol refineries and hospitals. SABS report available.

Fire resistance

Maplette is fireproof. Fire index Class 1. Ideal for application on wooden floors. Full SABS report available.

Hygiene

The smooth jointless surface lends itself to easy maintenance. The composition is in itself mildly antiseptic, inhibiting bacteria and fungus. Impervious to vermin.

Resistance to water

Will withstand flooding up to 48 hours. However, should not be used in a liquid drip situation, or continuously wet areas.

Patching

If underground cable or pipe laying is necessary, Maplette Flooring can be cut out and patched.

Skirting

Covered skirting can be incorporated into the floor if required.

Dustlessness

Maplette exudes no dust at all, as in the case with cement flooring. Ideal for sensitive machinery (for example, printing and textiles).

Jointless

Flooring is laid in a complete piece, and jointless, making it easy to move heavy equipment about.
