Discover your perfect terrace solution!

Are you planning to install a terrace yourself? Make sure that moisture and temperature fluctuations do not get a chance to shorten the lifespan of your terrace, and opt for a high-quality floor structure.

The StaenisGrid, in combination with screed or drainage mortar, is the top recommendation for a durable and high-quality terrace. Depending on the situation, a screed may suffice, or a draining floor screed may be necessary. This ensures you have a terrace that is resistant to moisture, frost, and heat.

Some advantages of the Staenis grid:

Easy to install at an angle
Reinforced terrace screed
Use of a screed silo for efficient work
No expansion joint required when work is spread over several days

Moreover, you save significantly by combining drainage mortar and the StaenisGrid, which replaces the traditional drainage mat, reinforcement mesh, and decoupling mat + adhesive.

Finally, the drying time of a drainage mortar screed is only 14 days, compared to 28 days for traditional screed. Choose the StaenisGrid and quickly enjoy your beautiful new terrace!

Faster drying time for drainage mortar screed: A drainage mortar screed only needs 14 days of drying time before tiling, while traditional screed still requires 28 days.

Which materials are used?

The combination of the StaenisGrid and drainage mortar replaces traditional materials such as the drainage mat, reinforcement mesh, and decoupling mat + adhesive. This results in significant cost savings and a simpler installation process.

In some situations, a screed is sufficient, but for other situations, a draining screed is mandatory. By choosing the right material, you ensure that your terrace is resistant to moisture, frost, and heat, and you significantly extend the lifespan of your terrace.
