Floor Screeding systems and Installation.

Fibre Screed.
Fibre screed has been developed to meet the increasing demand for factory-mixed cement:sand screeds of all mix designs incorporating an even dispersion of polypropylene fibres. The presence of suitable fibres can help to give a more cohesive mix and help control cracking caused by intrinsic stresses.
Applications: Fibre screeds are ideally suitable for use in hospitals, offices, superstores, industrial and other applications where there would be a high cost in loss of use through floor failure due to surface cracking of screed. Ideally compatible for use with underfloor heating systems.

Features:

• Advantages over traditional cement:sand screeds:
• Minimum early age shrinkage/cracking
• Improved flexural strength/flexural fatigue resistance
• On many occasions can eliminate the use for wire mesh
• Improved toughness
• Easy to place, compact and overcomes many practical problems when used as an alternative to steel crack control fabric
• Fibres cannot be misplaced
• Better impact/abrasion resistance against site traffic
• Factory mixed to give accurate control and better dispersion of cement and fibres with minimum compressive strengths as specified in BS 4721/4
