Screed floor construction with dovetail sheets

Information

On a load-bearing wooden framework, dovetail plates are installed, on which a screed can be placed directly.

Advantages

  • Achieve a perfect end result without experience
  • Compartmentalization of the screed = crack-free screed
  • Replaces a decoupling mat = saves an average of 30 euros/m²
  • Replaces the steel reinforcement mesh = saving an average of 3 euros/m²
  • No expansion joints required in the screed = saving an average of 3 euros/LM
  • Spreading screed work over several days (no stress during placement)
  • Much faster start-up of underfloor heating possible = faster construction process
  • No dish formation of the screed floor = perfectly level screed

We deliver screed in a silo to your home (only in Belgium)

Screed delivered to your home in Belgium in a silo

With a simple press of the button on the silo, you can produce fresh sand-cement screed at a rate of 3 m³/h, and this without time pressure to process the large quantity of sand-cement screed.

There are actually 2 separate compartments in the silo. One part is filled with sand (0/4-0/7mm) and the other part is filled with dry cement (250kg/m³). These are only mixed with water at the moment you wish.

The big advantage of this is that you can make fresh sand-cement screed at your own pace and for several weeks.

Screed delivered to your home in bags

Fast: Fast-drying, fiber-reinforced screed with only 2/3 of the weight compared to traditional screed. This makes the work significantly less heavy when working with bagged material instead of traditional screed. Ideal for applying a bonded screed floor or for small spaces, both indoors and outdoors. This Fast screed is easy to spread, allowing you to achieve a flat finish more quickly.

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.
