New screed from Weber improves set time by two hours
Published: 24 January 2017
Sint-Gobain Weber has been making improvements to its weberfloor flex with Low Dust Technology (LDT), resulting in improved set-time by as much as two hours.
Established as one of Weber's top selling floor screeds and winner of 'Best Internal Product' at the Housebuilder Product Awards 2016, the set-time for light foot traffic following application has improved from two to four hours down to one to two hours, allowing fastest possible access for other trades.
Weberfloor flex with LDT is a high-performance, cement-based, self-smoothing and self-levelling screed. It is used for correcting irregularities on difficult surfaces including concrete slabs, pro-cast elements, wooden flooring and existing ceramic and rigid plastic tiles. It is also suitable for floating floors and floors with under-floor heating, and will cover flexible coverings, parquet flooring and certain floor paints.
It can be build up to a maximum thickness of 50mm and its fibre-modified formula increases strength and resilience. This screed offers the added benefit of improved bond, although the rapid setting performance was designed to satisfy the challenging requirements of the housebuilding industry, property owners and professional applicators.
The addition of Low Dust Technology, already present in selected best-selling products in Weber's tile fixing range, significantly reduces airborne dust created during the pouring and mixing processes without alternign the premium characteristics of the product.
