Insulating screed floor construction
Information
This light floor structure forms an ideal insulated surface for your parquet, laminate, cork, carpet, etc. After a few days of curing, you can cover the insulating screed with a wooden OSB or Durelis sheet and screw it on to the Staenis grid, which in this instance serves as a wooden grid.
Benefits
- Achieving a perfect end result without any experience
- Can be clad after 3 days with wooden Durelis or OSB panels
- Can be covered directly with many types of floor finish
- Lightweight (10 x lighter than a sand cement screed) and sound-absorbing floor
- Possibility to insulate your low floor construction over the full thickness.
- Spread screed work over several days (no stress during installation)
Floor construction manual
- Place the Staenis grid and adjust it to the correct height with a screwdriver.
- Mix the ready-to-use insulating screed from bags with water (see webshop for amount of water) and pour it into the grid. Flatten these with a screed iron on top of the Staenis grid.
- Place on this at least an OSB of 18-22 mm thickness. Screw the wooden plate into the battens of the Staenis grid.
- Tip: Depending on the type of floor finish, you choose the thickness of the OSB. A thin floor finish needs a thicker OSB, a thick floor finish can be combined with the minimum OSB thickness for this floor construction.
- Tip: Remove dust, dirt, grease, loose particles and other contaminants from the wooden surface. This helps to achieve a better bond between the insulation screed and the wooden surface.

We deliver insulation screed in bags to your home
The insulation screed is ready-made with new EPS pearls, mixed with cement, water and specific patented additives.
The EPS pearls have a special small diameter of 2mm-6mm, in order to obtain an even flatter result with the Staenis grid.
The insulating screed in bags is easy to transport and makes it possible to insulate your floor yourself.
This non-tilable insulation screed can be used as an insulating infill in the Staenis grid, single or double clad with at least 18 mm OSB. But also as an insulating filling layer, with a screed above it.
