Polymer Screed

Polymer modified screeds can be laid at thinner depths of 10mm+ and is extremely strong. Polymer screed is a combination of sharp sand and cement strengthened with a polymer resin. Whilst being extremely hard wearing it has increased strength, bonding properties, shrinkage and cracking is minimised, flexural strength is improved, it has water resistant qualities and the added benefit of drying faster than a standard sand: cement screed at approx. 25mm a week. It is ideal for floors that have to bear heavy loads. It can be applied bonded on top of ground floor slabs, precast concrete and suspended floor or unbonded and floating.
