Technical Information
Floorcrete floor screeds are pump applied, self-levelling, synthetic anhydrite. Ideal for sub floor levelling, they provide a smooth, flat surface for the application of all floor finishes.
Suitable for most commercial and domestic buildings as a levelling layer, Floorcrete screeds offer complete versatility of use: with thermal and acoustic insulation, electrical services and under-floor heating systems.
Using Anhydrite rather than Cement in the screed means:
- Minimal cracking and no curling
- Rapid strength development
- Foot traffic in 24 to 48 hours
- Self-compacting
- Protein free
- Environmentally friendly product
Strength and versatility mean:
- No construction joins
- No reinforment
- BRE Test Category A – BS8204
- Weight saving due to low design thickness
- Speed of application
- Reduced build programmes
