Insulating your floor lowers your energy bill, increases your living comfort, and raises the value of your home.

Information

This lightweight floor structure forms an ideal insulated base for your parquet, laminate, cork, carpet, etc. The insulation screed can be covered after a few days of curing with a wooden OSB or Durelis board and screwed onto the Staenis grid, which in this situation serves as a wooden joist structure.

Advantages

Achieve a perfect end result without experience
Can be covered with wooden Durelis or OSB boards after 3 days
Directly suitable for many types of floor finishes

Lightweight (10 times lighter than a sand-cement screed) and sound-insulating floor
Possibility to insulate your low floor construction over the entire thickness.
Spreading screed work over several days (no stress during placement)

Floor construction manual

1. Place the StaenisGrid and adjust it to the correct height using a screwdriver. If necessary, use Staenis extension legs or sawn wooden blocks under the Staenis legs to adjust it to a higher level. 2. Mix the ready-made insulation screed from bags with water (see webshop for the amount of water) and pour it into the grid. Level it with a screed bar on top of the Staenis grid. 3. Place an OSB board with a minimum thickness of 18-22 mm on the StaenisGrid and screw it to the slats. Alternatively, you can use a 12 mm board, but then you must apply sufficient construction silicone under the OSB board to prevent sagging when walking over it. 4. Tip: Depending on the type of floor finish, you choose the thickness of the OSB. A thin floor finish requires a thicker OSB, while a thick floor finish can be combined with the minimum OSB thickness for this floor structure. 5. Tip: Remove dust, dirt, grease, loose particles, and other contaminants from the wooden substrate. This helps to achieve better adhesion between the insulation screed and the wooden substrate. 6. Tip: For extra adhesion, you can screw a wood screw into each compartment of the StaenisGrid and leave it protruding by 2 to 3 cm. This will allow the insulation screed to mechanically bond to the wooden substrate. 7. To prevent moisture infiltration from the insulation screed, we recommend filling any gaps in the wooden subfloor with PU foam before installation. 8. Tip: Glue all the legs to the substrate with PU foam, so the height adjustment remains correct after leveling. 9. Permitted floor coverings: floating floor coverings such as multilayer parquet, laminate, cork, carpet, and vinyl. Always follow the installation instructions of both the floor covering manufacturer and the store where the purchase was made.

We deliver insulation screed in bags to your home

Insulation screed or insulation mortar in ready-to-use bags

The insulation screed is pre-mixed with new EPS beads, combined with cement, water, and specific patented additives.

The EPS beads have a specially small diameter of 2mm-6mm, in order to achieve an even flatter result with the StaenisGrid.

The insulation screed in bags is easy to transport and makes it possible for you to insulate your floor yourself.

This non-walkable insulation screed can be used as insulating infill in the StaenisGrid, single or double layered with at least 18mm OSB. It can also be used as an insulating leveling layer, with a screed on top.
