Screed floor construction 4
+12.5 cm - ground floor, cellar, etc. - with concrete slab, PUR slabs as substrate - tiles, multilayered parquet, laminate, cork, carpet, vinyl and cast floor - floor heating possible
Why the Staenis grid?
Tensions in the substrate are the biggest cause of damage to the tile work. With the Staenis grid, the screed is completely tension-free, so that the tiles and grouting remain in top condition.
Benefits
- Achieving a perfect end result without any experience
- Compartment of the screed = crack-free screed
- Replaces an uncoupling mat = savings of an average of 30 euros/m²
- Replaces the steel reinforcement net = savings of an average of 3 euros/m²
- No expansion joints needed in the screed = savings of an average of 3 euros/LM
- Spread screed work over several days (no stress during installation)
- Much faster start-up of underfloor heating possible = faster construction process
- No 'dishing/cupping' of the screed = perfectly flat screed
Floor construction manual
- Place a filling layer of insulating screed on the concrete slab to conceal all pipes. If necessary, smooth out by scraping the surface with a long straight edge.
- Place 2 staggered layers of insulation boards loosely on the filling layer. Cover with a plastic layer and install the floor heating if necessary.
- Place the Staenis grid and adjust it to the correct height with a screwdriver. As standard, screed is poured 8 cm high/thick.
- Fill in the Staenis grid properly with screed and flatten it on the top of the Staenis grid. Sprinkle some screed on the surface and polish with a large sanding board. This ensures that the remaining holes are filled and a good bonding strength to the tile is guaranteed. Always place an expansion strip or edge insulation along the walls.

We deliver screed in a silo to your home (only in Belgium)
By simply pressing a button on the silo, you can prepare fresh sand cement screed at a rate of 3 m³/h and this without time pressure to process the large amount of sand cement screed.
There are 2 separate compartments in the silo. 1 part filled with sand (0/4-0/7mm) and the other part filled with dry cement (250kg/m³). These are only mixed with water at the moment you wish.
The big advantage of this is that you can make fresh sand cement screed at your own pace and for a few weeks.
