• Can be supplied with structural fibre to replace reinforcement mesh.

Eliminates the need for vibration equipment, reducing labour and improving health and safety conditions.

Applications:

• Commercial foundations
• Domestic foundations
• Trench applications

Features & Benefits:

• High workability
• No need for traditional placing and finishing, dapple finish
• Matched to project strength requirements
• Speed of placement improves project productivity
• Quality finish
• Can be placed by chute, skip or pump
• Flows horizontally for up to 10m

Eliminates the need for vibration equipment, reducing labour and improving health and safety conditions.

Applications:

• Bespoke finishes
• All types of precast construction

Features & Benefits:

• Bespoke product to fulfill specific project requirements
• High workability and segregation resistance
• No need for traditional placing or finishing
• High-quality finishes can be achieved
• Lower energy requirements and plant maintenance from less spillage and waste.
• Increased productivity by reducing the turnaround of moulds between castings and less surface finishing is needed (fewer defects)

Bespoke admixtures can be incorporated to lower consistence retention times and quicker strength gains to permit earlier lifting from moulds

Applications: Micro, Macro and Steel fibre reinforced concrete can be used in a wide variety of applications.

Specifications: Designed to meet engineering specifications, fibres can be tailored to suit specific conditions and performance requirements.

Micro fibres: can be incorporated into any of our concrete mix designs to enhance early-age performance, primarily by controlling plastic shrinkage cracking and improving overall durability.

Macro synthetic fibres: can be added to enhance the concrete’s mechanical performance, particularly its post-crack strength and are resistant to corrosion.

These fibres are primarily used as an alternative to traditional steel reinforcement, such as crack control mesh, especially in applications where ease of placement, speed of construction, and effective crack control are key considerations.

Steel fibres: can be incorporated to significantly improve mechanical performance. Acting as a form of reinforcement, the fibres bridge cracks and absorb stress -particularly after cracking. For applications requiring high structural performance, improved load-bearing capacity, fatigue resistance, impact resistance, and crack control, steel fibres are a highly effective solution.

Finishing & placing: The use of a curing membrane is required where applicable and curing should begin immediately after the concrete has been placed and finished. Curing is essential and excessive drying rates must be avoided within the first 24 hours.

• Enhanced drying rate
• No vibration or compaction needed
• High recycled content and low embedded CO2
• Large areas can be completed in a relatively short period of time
• Low shrinkage risk
• Reduced thickness compared to traditional screeds
• Thermal advantages over conventional materials

Specification:
Wet density typically 2300kg/m3 and dry density approximately 2200kg/m3.

Please contact your local sales representative discuss requirements.

This product is a low shrink, free-flowing cementitious screed, designed to provide a smooth level surface prior to the application of the desired floor finish. It is suitable for floating, bonded and unbonded flooring systems, including most underfloor heating systems and all residential/ commercial floors carrying pedestrian traffic as described within BS8204.
