Traditional screeding and floor levelling methods, while effective, often involve heavy materials and lengthy drying times. This can significantly impact project timelines and structural integrity. Fortunately, modern advancements have introduced a revolutionary solution: light weight screed and floor levelling. 

These materials offer a powerful alternative, providing the strength and durability of conventional options without the excessive weight. They are designed to streamline the construction process, making it faster, easier, and more cost-effective. 

By using special aggregates and binders, these advanced screeds not only reduce the load on a building's structure but also enhance thermal and acoustic insulation, contributing to a more sustainable and comfortable environment. 

This shift to lighter, more efficient materials is transforming how we approach both new builds and refurbishment projects, ensuring a higher quality finish with less effort.

Benefits of Light Weight Screed

Light weight screed revolutionizes flooring projects with significant advantages.

1. Exceptional Thermal Insulation
   This screed contains insulating aggregates that create a thermal barrier. This property helps regulate indoor temperatures, keeping spaces warm in winter and cool in summer. This significantly reduces energy consumption and lowers heating and cooling costs, making it a highly sustainable choice.

2. Superior Acoustic Performance
   The porous nature of light weight screed helps to absorb sound waves. It effectively dampens noise, reducing both impact sound and airborne sound transmission between floors. This makes it an ideal solution for multi-story buildings, apartments, and commercial spaces where noise control is critical.

3. Reduced Structural Load
   Its low density significantly decreases the overall weight placed on a building's structure. This is particularly crucial for renovations or projects involving existing buildings where structural integrity is a concern. The reduced load allows for greater design flexibility and can simplify engineering requirements.

4. Faster Drying Time
   The unique composition of light weight screed allows it to dry and cure much faster than traditional screeds. This accelerated timeline means that subsequent trades, such as floor laying, can begin sooner, drastically shortening project schedules and improving overall efficiency.

5. Enhanced Fire Resistance
   Many light weight screed formulations use non-combustible materials. This provides a higher level of fire protection, contributing to the overall safety of the building. This feature is a crucial consideration for meeting modern building codes and safety standards.

6. Ease of Application
   The lightweight and flowable nature of this material makes it easy to handle and apply. It can be pumped over long distances, which is ideal for large-scale projects or those with difficult access. This simplifies the installation process and reduces labor costs.

7. Versatile and Adaptable
   Light weight screed is suitable for a wide range of applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial settings. It can be used as a levelling layer, an underfloor heating encapsulation, or a thermal insulation layer. Its versatility makes it a go-to solution for diverse construction needs.

8. Environmentally Friendly
   Composed of recycled materials and natural aggregates, this screed offers a greener alternative. Its use reduces the demand for virgin resources and minimizes construction waste. By choosing light weight screed, you contribute to a more sustainable building practice.

Effective Floor Levelling Solutions

Achieve perfectly smooth and even floors with these modern solutions.

1. Self-Levelling Properties
   Our advanced floor levelling compounds are designed to spread and settle naturally. This allows them to create a perfectly flat and smooth surface without extensive manual labor. This ensures an excellent base for any final floor covering, such as tiles, wood, or vinyl.

2. Exceptional Adhesion
   These levelling solutions are formulated to bond strongly with various subfloors, including concrete, timber, and existing screeds. This superior adhesion prevents delamination and cracking, ensuring the long-term stability and durability of the finished floor.

3. Rapid Curing Technology
   The fast-curing nature of our floor levelling products minimizes downtime. This allows for quick access to the area and the installation of final floor coverings in a short period. This rapid turnaround is essential for maintaining tight project schedules.

4. High Compressive Strength
   Despite their lightweight composition, these levelling compounds provide incredible strength and durability. They can withstand heavy foot traffic and point loads without compromising the surface integrity. This makes them suitable for both residential and high-traffic commercial environments.

5. Crack Prevention
   The flexible properties of these compounds are designed to resist cracking and shrinkage. They accommodate minor movements in the subfloor, preventing the transfer of stress to the final floor covering. This ensures a flawless, long-lasting surface.

6. Ideal for Underfloor Heating
   Our floor levelling compounds are highly compatible with underfloor heating systems. They provide excellent heat transfer, ensuring that warmth is distributed efficiently and evenly across the floor. This improves the performance and efficiency of the heating system.

7. Minimal Dust Emission
   Formulated with low-dust technology, these products improve air quality during the mixing and application process. This creates a safer and cleaner working environment for installers and other trades, reducing the need for extensive cleanup.

8. Water-Resistant Features
   Certain formulations offer enhanced water resistance, making them suitable for use in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens. This added protection prevents moisture from damaging the subfloor and ensures the longevity of the entire flooring system.
