Thermio Max FD E2C
Thermio Max FD E2C is a BBA-certified screed specifically designed to enhance underfloor heating performance. Its advanced formulation increases thermal emission values by 40% while reducing energy consumption by up to 20%. The integrated FD technology halves drying times, and E2C properties allow floor coverings at 2% moisture content. This solution suits both new builds and renovations requiring efficient heating systems with rapid installation timelines.
ECO FD E2C
ECO FD E2C combines rapid drying (twice as fast as standard screeds) with early floor covering capabilities. This anhydrite screed maintains dimensional stability while allowing tile installation at 1.5% moisture content. Ideal for time-sensitive projects, it achieves foot traffic readiness within 24-48 hours and reduces expansion joints by 1000m. The protein-free formulation prevents bacterial growth, making it suitable for healthcare environments and commercial buildings.
SoundBar Screed
SoundBar Screed provides acoustic insulation for timber frame constructions, exceeding Part E building regulations. This system creates solid floor finishes over wooden joists while maintaining fire resistance up to 120 minutes. It reduces build height by 61mm compared to traditional methods and integrates seamlessly with underfloor heating systems. The high-fluidity formulation ensures easy application without metal reinforcements.
SteelDeck Screed
SteelDeck Screed is engineered for use with Lewis Deck dovetail sheeting in lightweight steel structures. This formulation improves adhesion to metal substrates while maintaining dimensional stability. It reduces floor thickness and weight compared to concrete alternatives, making it ideal for mezzanine floors and separating constructions. Compatible with underfloor heating systems, it achieves SR2 surface finish without curing compounds.
Excelio Screed
Excelio Screed offers bonded levelling solutions from 8mm thickness, bridging the gap between smoothing compounds and traditional screeds. This ready-mix solution eliminates site batching while achieving 70% thickness reduction compared to standard screeds. Ideal for renovation projects with height restrictions, it provides SR2 surface finish and reduces installation time by 100% through ready-mix delivery and pumpable application.
