LONDON–11 August 2022 – nVent Electric plc (NYSE:NVT) (“nVent”), a global leader in electrical connection and protection solutions, today announced an extension of its alliance with MAPEI, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of chemical products for the building industry. The collaboration between nVent and MAPEI combines the premium electric underfloor heating technologies offered under the nVent RAYCHEM brand with the MAPEI’s comprehensive range of flooring installation products. Following successful collaborations in the U.S. and Canada, nVent and MAPEI will bring MAPEI Mapeheat with Technology from nVent RAYCHEM to the UK flooring and tiling industry.

nVent and MAPEI introduced Mapeheat in Canada in 2019 and in the U.S. in 2020.Under the expanded partnership, UK tiling and flooring channel distributors will be able to purchase Mapeheat products from MAPEI and enjoy the same quality, functionality, assortment and purchase price as they would purchasing from nVent. The easy-to-install and versatile Mapeheat product line is suitable for use with tile, stone, laminate, engineered wood and luxury vinyl floors.

In the UK, MAPEI is a well-known producer of materials for the installation of ceramic tiling and resilient flooring and the introduction of Mapeheat underfloor heating products provides the potential to supply a full system from substrate preparation to adhesive, grout and sealant for heated floors. 

“After a successful launch in Canada and U.S., nVent is excited to launch the Mapeheat products in the UK,” said Patrick Hendrickx, nVent Thermal product manager of building and infrastructure solutions. “MAPEI is a great partner, and the expansion of our alliance reflects our mutual cultures that emphasize innovation, service and excellent warranty support. Partnering with MAPEI to introduce the new Mapeheat Electrical Floor Heating product line is an exciting development for our company and will deliver great value to the UK flooring channel distributors, installers and end-users.”

“MAPEI UK continues to grow its portfolio of products used in the construction industry and the addition of the Mapeheat range excites us greatly” exclaimed Jason Brunt, Technical Director, MAPEI UK. “The collaboration with nVent brings together the technologies of the heating elements with that of the enveloping construction materials giving the customer greater assurances in the systems they are purchasing. The comfort felt from the heating element should be reflected in the comfort felt by the consumers and the installers and we look forward to supporting our customers in bringing this already successful collaboration to market”.
