Traditional Floor ScreedThis cement:sand levelling screed is

factory-produced and correctly

proportioned for flooring and

roofing applications. It boasts

excellent cement dispersion, giving

greater and more uniform

compressive strength throughout

the floor area. It normally contains

a retarding admixture in order to

remain workable for 8-12 hours.

It can be used on a number of

different bases. This screed is

available from factories across

Great Britain.

Tufscreed FTufscreed F was developed to meet

the ever-increasing demand for

factory produced, cement:sand

levelling screeds - of all mix

proportions - that incorporate an

even dispersion of polypropylene

fibres. The fibres can help to

achieve a more cohesive material

and also help control cracking

caused by intrinsic stresses. This

improved toughness makes it ideal

for applications such as hospitals,

offices, superstores, industrial units

and other applications where floor

failure would have major cost and

disruption implications.

Truscreed and Truscreed H.D.These high performance screeds

benefit from faster drying times

allowing earlier trafficking of the

floor. They were developed by

Tarmac to meet the specific demand

for factory produced, high

performance cement:sand levelling

screeds suitable for all common

floor finishes. Easy to work with and

providing a higher strength and

abrasion resistant finish, these

screeds can be used on various

bases. Truscreed H.D. is particularly

effective on floors subject to

arduous service. Truscreed can also

be used in sound insulation, thermal

insulation and weight reduction

applications.

Our range of products.

SBR Polymer ModifiedThis factory-mixed, cement:sand

levelling screeds increased

toughness and bond properties are

the result of the inclusion of a

synthetic polymer resin. Shrinkage

and cracking is minimised,

permeability is reduced and flexural

strength is improved. This screed

can provide high performance at

thinner levels when normal

minimum thickness cannot be

achieved.

Stabilised SandAvailable in a wide range of mix

proportions, stabilised sand is ideal

for bedding and infill applications,

including protection of cables and

pipes, filling disused voids and

bedding of paving slabs. It is

particularly useful in areas prone to

saturation or flooding or where the

ground is unstable.

TruflowTruflow represents a new generation

of pumpable, self-smoothing floor

screed. It is highly versatile and

suitable for most commercial and

domestic buildings and is ideal for

use with most underfloor heating

systems. It also allows a lower

minimum thickness whilst

maintaining excellent compressive

strength. Up to 2000m2 can be laid

per day on any one project.
