Questions
What is cement-based screed?
Cement-based screed is a self-compacting liquid floor screed that provides a smooth, level surface with rapid application and quick drying properties.
What depths of screed are recommended?
Standard depth is 50mm on insulated floors, with some products allowing a minimum of 12mm depending on requirements.
How long before I can tile after screeding?
For a 50mm depth screed, tiling can begin after 28 days once moisture content reaches 2.5% CM or 75% relative humidity.
Do I need to prime the screed before tiling?
Yes, priming the floor before applying adhesives or floor coverings is best practice to ensure proper adhesion.
Can renewable energy sources be used with your screed?
Yes, our screed is ideal for use with solar, ground, and air source heat pumps for underfloor heating systems.
