About Floor Screed
SILICO FLOOR SCREED is well formulated factory made ready to use Polymerised Drymix floor Screed which can be used as Floor bedding for fixing Tiles. It is the result of extensive product development through in-house R&D department. SILICO FLOOR SCREED meets the requirements of GreenPro Ecolabel and qualities as Green Product.
Superior Strength & Fast SettingOur floor screed stands out with an M30 grade, gaining a compressive strength of 30 MPa in just 28 days and providing rapid setting within 1-2 hours. Its engineered for projects demanding quick turnaround while guaranteeing structural reliability.
Easy Mixing & ApplicationSupplied in dry mix form, this screed only needs to be mixed with water (approx. 5-6 liters per 50 kg bag) for a uniform, workable consistency. The product can be applied manually or with a screed pump, ensuring convenience in a wide range of construction environments.
Durability and Safety AssuredBoasting excellent adhesion, non-combustibility, and low chloride content (<0.1%), this floor screed provides enduring flooring solutions. Its eco-friendly formulation makes it safe for both installers and the environment.
FAQs of Floor Screed:
Q: How should I mix and apply the floor screed for the best results?
A: Mix each 50 kg bag with approximately 5-6 liters of clean water until a uniform, lump-free paste is achieved. Apply the screed manually with a trowel or mechanically using a screed pump, ensuring proper compaction and leveling for a smooth finish.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using this high-strength floor screed?
A: This screed offers outstanding compressive strength (30 MPa), rapid setting time, excellent bonding, a smooth finished surface, and high load-bearing capacity. It also ensures eco-friendly installation due to its low VOC content and non-combustible nature.
Q: When is the screed ready to walk or build upon after installation?
A: The screed achieves its initial set in 1-2 hours. However, light foot traffic is generally recommended after 24 hours, while full load-bearing use or additional construction can commence once the screed reaches its designed compressive strength in 28 days.
Q: Where can this floor screed be used effectively?
A: It is suitable for all types of construction floor applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial buildings across India. Its adaptable thickness and high durability make it ideal for new flooring installations and repair of existing surfaces.
Q: What is the coverage area of each bag and how thick can I apply it?
A: One 50 kg bag covers approximately 3.3 square meters at a 15 mm thickness. The screed can be customized in thickness, typically ranging from 25 to 50 mm, to suit various project requirements.
Q: How should I store the screed to maintain its quality?
A: Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. When stored as recommended in unopened HDPE bags, the shelf life is up to 6 months, ensuring consistent performance.
Q: Is the screed compatible with machine mixing and pumping equipment?
A: Yes, this screed is formulated for compatibility with standard screed pumps and other mechanical mixing and application equipment, as well as manual methods, offering flexibility on construction sites.
