Mapei Mapelastic Turbo - Waterproof Coating for Balconies & Terraces

Two-Component Fast-Drying Waterproof Coating for Balconies, Terraces, and External Surfaces

Mapei Mapelastic Turbo is a high-performance, two-component, flexible cementitious waterproofing membrane designed for quick application on balconies, terraces, and horizontal surfaces exposed to rain and water. Formulated to cure rapidly even at low temperatures and high humidity, it allows tile installation after just 4 hours. Suitable for both new builds and refurbishments, Mapelastic Turbo is ideal for waterproofing under tile finishes where fast turnaround is essential.
