Fibre-reinforced screed is a carefully formulated mixture of sand and cement screed enhanced with polymer additives for faster curing times. During mixing, polypropylene screed fibres are included to boost the strength and durability of the screed mix once fully cured.
Product Specification
Traditional floor screed which contains polypropylene fibres to minimise shrinkage cracking.
Fibre Reinforced Sand and Cement Floor Screed Benefits
- Reduced early age shrinkage/cracking
- Improved flexural strength/flexural fatigue resistance
- Improved toughness
- Faster drying times
- Enhanced crack resistance
- Adaptable to multiple flooring types, including underfloor heating screed and tile warming systems
- Fibres may be used to replace expensive steel wire fabric/crack control reinforcement
- Reduced permeability
- Screed and fibres with strength classes conforming to BS EN 13813
- Light foot traffic – 48 hours
- Site traffic – 7 days
Fibre Reinforced Floor Screed Applications Suitable for use on the following bases:
Suitable for use on various floor substrates, including:
- Solid concrete ground floor slabs directly in contact with the slab with a suitable damp proof membrane between slab and screed
- Over an insulating layer to isolate the screed from the base
- Precast concrete units or beams with reinforcement
- In situ suspended floors
- As a topping to lightweight screeds based on lightweight aggregates
- Friable or unstable floors requiring additional reinforcement
This fibre-reinforced solution works exceptionally well with self-levelling screed systems for smoother finishes and can support underfloor heating screed installations.
Fibre Reinforced Floor Screed Delivery
Traditional sand and cement floor screed is generally delivered on large 6 or 8-wheel tipper vehicles carrying a maximum of 15 or 20 tonnes of material respectively. However, if there are access issues, smaller vehicles can be made available.
