The solution was to use a combination of products from weber maxit floor screed range. After removing the original screed down to the concrete base, the contractor then back filled the whole floor with 90 mm of round aggregate to “build up” the floor to within 10mm of its original height. This provided substantial costs savings as laying a high quality screed at this thickness would be uneconomical and poses technical problems.
Next a layer of weber maxit floor 4320 was pumped over the aggregate and allowed to “absorb” into the aggregate. This acted as a binder while also providing a base for the final screed. The rapid drying properties of weber maxit floor 4320 kept the programme moving swiftly.
Next a 10mm layer of weber maxit floor 4160 was layed onto the weber maxit floor 4320 base @ 10mm. weber maxit floor 4160 has rapid drying properties similiar to weber maxit floor 4320 which was vital to speed of the project. Dry after only 3 hours it was able to take the final floor coverings within a day. This meant that including the preparation work the floor was ready for the final finish after just 3 days.
maxits product range allowed a cost effictive, fast track solution within all the demands of the project.
