Ultratop Systems are suitable for floors in both industrial and domestic environments. Ultratop System is made up of a series of special products to create self-levelling cementitious floors, for use in both industrial and domestic environments. The system is made up of special primers, Ultratop and specially-formulated finishing products, to protect the floor and to obtain a variety of aesthetic effects on the surface. Fast-setting Ultratop, the flagship product of the entire system, is a self-levelling, ultra fast-setting self-levelling mortar. It is easy to apply by hand or by machine, and is available in six different colours. When used neat to create industrial floors, where functionality is the main priority, Ultratop must be treated with either transparent or coloured finishing products or with products from the Mapefloor range, which apart from offering good protection, also improve its chemical resistance and its resistance to abrasion. Alternatively, if used to create decorative floors in environments such as homes, showrooms, shops, etc., Ultratop may be dry-polished to leave an effect that is similar to natural stones, or it may be mixed with natural aggregates which, after polishing, leave an effect which is similar to "terrazzo and veneziana" floor.
