Terrace with sloping concrete slab

Information

Tensions and moisture are the two main causes of damage to a terrace. This terrace floor construction with drainage mortar allows moisture to drain away and is stress-free thanks to the StaenisGrid, keeping the tile and joint work in top condition.

Advantages

  • Achieve a perfect end result without experience
  • Replaces a drainage mat = average saving of 17 euros/m²
  • Replaces a decoupling mat + adhesive = saves an average of 20 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
  • Floor construction prevents rising damp/capillary action from the ground.
  • Water/moisture can quickly drain away through the drainage mortar.
  • No risk of clogging of the screed
  • Compartmentalization of the screed = crack-free floor screed
  • No dish formation of the screed floor = perfectly level screed
  • Very strong subsoil due to compacted layers underneath
  • Spreading floor work over several days (no stress during installation)
  • Very good adhesion to the tiles by applying a thin layer of screed on the drainage mortar. Ideal for bonding tiles or natural stone.

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

Screed and drainage mortar delivered in a silo to your home in Belgium

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

There are actually 2 separate compartments in the silo. One part is filled with porphyry (2-6mm) or 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 create fresh drainage mortar or sand-cement screed at your own pace and for several weeks.

We deliver drainage mortar in bags to your home

Cem Classic: drainage mortar, now conveniently packaged in bags. This can be used/applied in the same way as drainage mortar from a silo, but with the added advantage that it is three times lighter. This property makes processing significantly easier. Ideal for creating a water-permeable base for small or hard-to-reach terraces.

We deliver screed in bags to your home

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.

Special sealant for joints between ceramic tiles

Special joint sealant for expansion and connection joints in ceramic tiles

Because this joint sealant looks just like a cement joint, the product can also be used as a replacement for conventional grouts.

Scope of application when grouting 2 cm thick ceramic terrace tiles with a 3 mm joint.

This joint sealant is super flexible and adheres extremely well to the side of the tile. The joint also does not discolor when moistened, which looks aesthetically pleasing.
