Isolated EPS screed

Tileable insulating screed floor construction 1, 2 & 3 - Choose a different floor structure

+4,5 cm - first floor, ground floor, cellar, etc. - with concrete slab as substrate - tiles

This insulated screed can be tiled directly after 3 to 4 days of drying time, which is 28 days for a screed, provided that it has a primer and leveling compound or tile adhesive layer.

Information

This lightweight floor construction is ideal for rooms with limited floor construction height. In this situation, the Staenis grid makes it possible to insulate, level and quickly tile your floor structure.

The tileable insulating screed can be covered with tiles directly after 3 to 4 days of drying time provided that the primer and a thin levelling compound or tile adhesive layer are applied, which is 28 days for a screed.

A floor construction with tileable insulation screed is 7 x lighter than a traditional screed and very easy to install. The tiles will also feel warmer due to the insulating effect of the mortar.

Benefits

Achieving a perfect end result without any experience
Can be tiled immediately after 3 days, provided there is a cement paste layer
Lightweight (7 x lighter than a sand cement screed) and sound-absorbing floor

No expansion joints required
Possibility to insulate your (very) low floor construction over the full thickness.
Spread screed work over several days (no stress during installation)

Floor construction manual

1. Place the Staenis grid and adjust it to the correct height with a screwdriver. If necessary, use Staenis extension legs or sawn wooden blocks under the Staenis legs to adjust higher. 2. Mix the ready-to-use tileable insulation screed from bags with water (see webshop for amount of water) and pour it into the grid. Flatten these with a screed iron on top of the Staenis grid. 3. Tip: Keep in mind that not every surface is identical. For optimal adhesion with a concrete surface, it is advisable to moisten it thoroughly with water the night before. Make sure that no puddles of water remain before applying the insulation screed. You can also consider adding a little primer to the water to prepare the surface even better. 4. After a few days, sand it flat on the Staenis grid, using a sanding cloth and a long steering bar. Vacuum up all the dust with a vacuum cleaner and fix the surface with a primer for absorbent surfaces. This floor can be covered after 3 to 4 days, provided that a levelling layer or tile adhesive is placed at the same height as the top of the grid (see video below). Protect the surface if you do not finish it immediately. 5. To prevent moisture infiltration from the insulation screed, we recommend filling any cracks in the concrete substrate with PU foam or closing them with mortar before installation. 6. Tip: Glue all legs to the surface with PU foam, so that the height adjustment remains correct after adjustment. 7. Approved floor coverings: natural stone and ceramic tiles when using our tileable insulation screed Strong and Cem Mini. Certain alternative floor coverings are also possible when using Cem Mini. Always follow the installation instructions of both the floor covering manufacturer and the store where the purchase was made. 8. Tip: If you want to place laminate directly on the tileable insulation screed, you should choose a stronger tileable insulation screed such as Cem mini. For standard laminate and multi-layer parquet you do not need to install a leveling layer, only for vinyl laminate, for example.

Installation Staenisgrid

Choose a different floor structure

Tileable insulation screed can be combined with WARP underfloor heating system Speetile 10

Warp vloerverwarmingsysteem Speetile 10 op Staenisrooster met betegelbare isolatiechape

SpeeTile is suitable for underfloor heating and cooling. This 'wet construction' system is the thinnest water-based system for underfloor heating and cooling. The SpeeTile system is also suitable as main heating.

1. Place our primer for absorbent surfaces on the tileable insulation screed.

2. Place the Warp Speetile 10 system. Attach the plastic system to the tileable insulation screed with the black U plugs supplied.

3. Pour the quick-drying SpeeTop filling compound over the plastic system and check with a laser and meter that everything is at the correct height.

We deliver tileable insulation screed in bags to your home

Tileable insulation screed or insulation mortar in bags ready and ready

The insulation screed is ready-made with new EPS pearls, mixed with cement, water and specific patented additives.

The EPS pearls have a special small diameter of 2mm-6mm, in order to obtain an even flatter result with the Staenis grid.

Tileable insulation screed can only be installed in combination with the Staenis grid. The Staenis grid is moisture resistant, absorbs all shrinkage and ensures a perfectly flat placement and reinforcement.

We deliver leveling compound and the suitable primer to your home

Leveling compound and primer for screed or tileable insulation screed

This cement leveling compound, which can handle layer thicknesses of up to 10 mm, is ideal for leveling, leveling and smoothing tileable insulation screed and screed screed floors.

This layer of leveling compound ensures that the rough surface of the insulation screed is nicely smoothed out, making tiling much easier.

Fast-drying dispersion primer for the pre-treatment of tileable insulation screed/insulation mortar, screed or concrete. Strengthens the top layer and ensures that the tile adhesive/leveling compound adheres better and dries out less quickly on the absorbent surface.

Tip: The consumption of tileable insulation screed/insulation mortar is much higher than that of screed. You can solve this by adding water to the primer, depending on the number of m².

We deliver strong, lightweight screed to your home

Cem Mini: tileable insulation screed, which is no less than five times stronger than our current Strong version. This improved strength makes it possible to install directly floating floor coverings, such as laminate, without the need for a leveling compound or OSB layer. Of course, it is also possible to glue tiles directly onto this surface. Cem Mini is also suitable for use on flat roofs, where waterproofing can be applied directly. This lightly insulating screed weighs 3 times less than a traditional screed screed, but 3 times more than the Strong tileable insulating screed version.
