Floor Screed Reinforcement Fibres

The use of fibres inhibits shrinkage settlement cracking increases strength permeability and is more impact resistant.

Floor screed reinforcement fibres.

These are especially preferred for reinforcing unbonded screeds floating screeds and screeds laid over underfloor heating. Traditional floor screed which contains polypropylene fibres to minimise shrinkage cracking. Fibre screed also called pp fibre or reinforced screeding is excellent in any situation. Containing polypropylene fibres to minimise shrinkage cracking.

Used in applications at a minimum of 0 1 by volume they are supplied in measured bags for accurate dosing. This helps minimise shrinkage cracking. Polypropylene fibres are added and evenly dispersed in a screed mix. The fibres serve to deter the micro cracking during the initial curing period.

Add approx 1 handful of fibres to each mix made in the cement mixer. These screed fibres are an easy to use 100 virgin polypropylene micro reinforcement system for concrete. The fibers are introduced into the concrete solution and when it hardens they form a solid monolith. This practise of combining products to the basic components of screed is called admixtures.

In a standard sized cement mixer 90 litre capacity 1 3 of the cement bag is used to create a standard concrete screed mix at one time therefore 1 3 of the fibre bag contents are added to each mix. For larger projects for every cubic metre of concrete or screed a full bag of 900g tdp fibres is sufficient. Polypropylene fibres are one of the most commonly used materials for screed reinforcement. These fibres are manufactured from polypropylene and will not cause irritation.

Concrete and screed fibres 900g bags. In combination with any mesh reinforcing fiber will create a very strong tie. The fiber reinforced screed will protect the flooring from small cracks in the form of cobwebs. Fibre reinforced floor screed.
