LAYING FLOOR SCREEDS

1.INTRODUCTION
The aim of this Technical Notebook is to define the fundamental criteria
to be considered when designing and laying screeds, and to highlight
the products available from MAPEl for laying durable screeds.
The service life and functionality of any type of flooring, whether the
material used is ceramic, stone, textile, resilient or wood, are highly
dependent on the physical and elastic-mechanical characteristics of
the substrate on which it is installed. These properties must be defined
according to a number of factors, such as the final use of the flooring,
which basically means the loads acting on its surface, environmental
conditions, the type of flooring to be installed, the compressibility of the
underlying layers and any deflections in the concrete floor slab.

A screed is a construction element laid in a range of thicknesses, and

its purpose is to bring the installation surface for the flooring to the
design height and to provide a surface suitable for installing the specified
flooring. Screeds are usually made from pre-blended mortar mixed with
cementitious binders or anhydrite-based binders. Depending on whether
it is laid directly on a supporting structure (for example a reinforced
concrete floor slab), on an isolating layer (for example a vapour barrier)
or on a layer of thermal insulation and/or soundproofing material, it is
known as a "bonded", "unbonded" or "floating" screed. A screed may
also have an underfloor heating/cooling system incorporated within its
structure and, in such cases, is known as a "heated" screed.

When a screed is laid, it must mainly guarantee the

following:
- that it forms a substrate suitable for installing the specified flooring;
- that it is laid on schedule;
- that its durability under various service conditions Oaid internally or externally, for civil, commercial or industrial
flooring, etc.) is not compromised.

The durability of flooring, therefore, is influenced by the characteristics

of its substrate, which means the type of product selected to make
the substrate, the quality of preparation work, how it is laid and the
compactness and curing of the mix.
To sum up, when choosing which product to use to make the screed,
be it a special binder, a pre-blended mortar or traditional site-prepared
mortar, you must take into consideration the final use of the screed, site
conditions Ontemal or external, the thickness to be laid, etc.), the type of
flooring to be installed, the time to wait before installing the flooring and
the time required before putting the flooring into service.

==

3. TECHNICAL AND PERFORMANCE

CHARACTERISTICS OF SCREEDS
To be suitable for installing flooring, the screed must have the following
characteristics:

- SUFFICIENT THICKNESS: its thickness depends on the type of screed to

be laid (see Section 4 "Types of screed"), and must be sufficient for the
type of flooring to be installed and the type/intensity of traffic acting on it
when in service.

- MECHANICALLY RESISTANT: its mechanical strength, as with thickness,

must be sufficient for the final use of the floor and for the type of flooring to be
installed. As a general rule, the mechanical strength of a screed suitable for
installing any type of flooring for domestic use must be at least 20 MPa, while
for industrial use it must be at least 30 MPa.

- COMPACT: the screed must be compact and homogeneous on the

surface and through the whole thickness. The presence of layers or areas

------

Original configuration
Configuration after
deformation

of crumbly, lower consistency is a sign of poor mechanical characteristics

which could cause breakage or detachment of the flooring. These areas

Fig. 3.1 -Typical ''sail'" type deformation of an area of

flooring subject to curling

must be carefully assessed and, according to the seriousness and extent

of the defect, they must be removed and repaired or consolidated with
suitable products.

-CURED AND DIMENSIONALLY STABLE: before installing any type

of flooring, it is absolutely essential that the screed is cured and that
most of the shrinkage is completed. In fact, during the curing cycle,
screeds are prone to hygrometric shrinkage due to part of the mixing
water evaporating or drying off. This may cause curling or cracking
(Fig. 3.1 and Fig. 3.2). If cracks develop after installing the flooring
(Fig. 3.3), the floor covering could be damaged and/or become
detached.

The level of residual humidity in a screed is measured using an

electric or carbide hygrometer (Fig. 3.5).

- FLAT: flatness is checked by laying a straightedge at least 2 metres

long in all directions on the surface of the screed (Fig. 3.6). The
maximum acceptable tolerance with this particular straightedge is
2 mm, although the acceptable tolerance varies according to the
length of the straightedge used to check for flatness. If the flatness
is not in tolerance, the surface must be levelled off using a suitable

residual humidity in a screed is a carbide

product before installing the flooring.

-SMOOTH: the suitability of the grade of finish of the surface and,

therefore, its level of roughness, depends on the type of flooring to
be installed. For example, a rough surface with open pores helps

required, for example when installing resilient flooring, it is advisable

to apply a skimming product designed specifically for this kind of use
on the surface of the screed.

4. TYPES OF SCREED
Screeds may be divided into the following types, depending on their
stratigraphic layout:
- UNBONDED
-FLOATING
-BONDED
-HEATED
iiiiiiii

4.1 UNBONDED SCREED

An unbonded screed (Fig. 4.1) is formed by laying a horizontal separation
layer (for example polyethylene or PVC sheets) between the screed
and substrate (for example a reinforced concrete capping layer), and

Positive deviation in flatness: within

tolerance

positioning compressible material, such as 1 em thick polystyrene or

MAPESILENT BAND R, around the perimeter of the walls and around

tolerance

pillars. The sheets must overlap each other by at least 20 em and be

taped together, while the edges and ends are folded upwards by 10 em
onto the pillars and walls. For foot traffic, this type of screed must be at
least 35 mm thick. The advantages of an unbonded screed (Fig. 4.3) are
as follows:

- Flooring is not in contact with the main structure and is less

affected, therefore, by deformations in the structure (e.g. settling,
hygrometric shrinkage, thermal expansion, small amounts of give
in the foundations, etc.).

- Thick screeds may be laid without having to worry about excessive

drying times or the formation of cracks caused by shrinkage in
lightened sub-layers. In this case, a layer of lightened concrete to
embed pipe-work is laid on the reinforced concrete floor slab,
followed by the separation layer (which also acts as a vapour barrier)
(Fig. 4.2).

The minimum thickness of a floating screed is calculated by considering

the intrinsic characteristics of the material used to make the screed

crushing refers to the reduction In thlcknaaa of the Insulating layer following the compressive force
from a
"standard" load

Table 1: Minimum thickneaa of floating acreeds and characteristics of reinforcement according to

the compressibility class of the isolating layer.

Traditional cementitious-based substrates must be at least 4 em thick,

and the thickness must be increased accordingly if the loads when in
service are high. Electro-welded reinforcement mesh should be inserted
at the mid-point of the screed to distribute loads and prevent
depressions, especially when the screed is not particularly thick {4-5
em).

Products from the MAPESILENT range may be used to make a floating

screed designed for soundproofing from the noise of footsteps.
The system is made up of MAPESILENT ROLL, MAPESILENT PANEL,
MAPESILENT BAND R, MAPESILENT TAPE and MAPESILENT
UNDERWALL, and is a simple, efficient way to create a floating
screed which is perfectly isolated from the structure, and on which it
is possible to install any type of flooring such as ceramic, stone,
parquet, PVC, linoleum, etc. {Fig. 4.5).

The specific products which make up the system allow the limits set
by
D.P.C.M. 5-12-97 to be complied with, and the most demanding acoustic
efficiency classes {Class I and Class II} in the new technical

10

standard UNI 11367- "Acoustic classification of buildings"- to be

to lay an

must be laid (Fig. 4.6) by taking the following measures:

- Make sure that the floor slab is well cured, sufficiently resistant, that there are
no traces of dust or crumbling portions and that it has a rough surface.

- If flooring sensitive to humidity is to be installed (for example wood, PVC,

etc.), before laying the screed make sure the level of humidity in the floor
slab is within the limits specified for this type of flooring and that there is no
rising damp.

- To guarantee that the screed bonds perfectly, spread a layer of bonding

slurry made from PLANICRETE, water and the same binder used to make
the screed according to the dosage rates in Table 2 on the substrate.

- When a thickness of only a few centimetres is laid over concrete

flooring, or if the screed is laid in areas subjected to high mechanical
stresses, use EPORIP epoxy adhesive instead of PLANICRETE based
bonding slurry.

- Whatever type of adhesion promoter is used, the new mix must be applied
using the "wet on wet" technique.

- Perimeter joints must be made around the room and around pillars by
inserting 1 em thick compressible material, such as expanded polystyrene.
Also, joints must be made in correspondence with those in the floor slab.

4.4 HEATED SCREED

A heated screed is a floating screed with elements (pipe-work in plastic
or composite material with a metallic core) embedded in the screed in a
spiral or coil pattem (Fig. 4.7- 4.8) and, depending on the time of year,
has hot or cold water flowing through the elements. The water is usually
at a temperature of between +30C and +40C when rooms require
heating, and between +15C and +18C to cool rooms down. The
elements

are inserted

above

insulating panels

so

that

heat

propagates only in the direction of the room to be heated or cooled

down. When designing this type of screed, the thickness of screed
above the elements must be at least 25 mm and metallic reinforcement
mesh must be inserted in the screed. The size of the mesh will depend
on the total thickness and design loads. Also, the pipe-work which
passes through the joints must be protected by a slip-on sheath or
sleeve. The screed must only be laid after the pipe-work has been tested
for leaks. Around the perimeter of the

SPECIAL PRODUCTS FOR RAPID-SET11NG,

RAPID-DRYING SCREEDS
If the time available on site is extremely low, MAPECEM binder and
MAPECEM PRONTO pre-blended mortar may be used to make rapid
setting, rapid-drying screeds (1 day).

At normal temperatures, screeds made from MAPECEM and MAPECEM

PRONTO are suitable for installing ceramic 3-4 hours after laying and
are dry (residual humidity less than 2%) and suitable, therefore, for
installing flooring sensitive to humidity, after 24 hours. Mortar made from
MAPECEM and MAPECEM PRONTO may also be applied with a pump.
Thanks to these characteristics and their very high mechanical strength,
MAPECEM and MAPECEM PRONTO are particularly recommended for
repairs to flooring in supermarkets, shops, shopping centres, airports and
any other structure where it would be impossible or too costly to interrupt
normal activities. MAPECEM and MAPECEM PRONTO may be used to
make heated screeds without the need for other admixtures. To make a
screed using MAPECEM, suitable clean, dry aggregates (from 0 to 8
mm) must be added on site. GRAVEL 0-8 may be used in this case, a
mixture
of aggregates in a granulometric curve of 0 to 8 mm. If the screed is
made
from MAPECEM PRONTO, it just requires mixing with water. MAPECEM
PRONTO has CE marking and is classified CT-C60-F10-A1fl according
to EN 13813 European standards. The advantages of using MAPECEM
PRONTO are the same as above for TOPCEM PRONTO, to which
there is the added advantage that it is rapid-setting and rapid-drying.
Table 3 shows the compressive strength, levels of residual humidity and
waiting times before installing flooring for screeds made from TOPCEM ,
TOPCEM PRONTO, MAPECEM and MAPECEM PRONTO.

5.4 SUPER-PLASTICISING ADMimJRES FROM

TilE MAPEFLUID RANGE FOR MIXING WITH
WA1ER, CEMENT AND SUITABLE AGGREGATES
To make heated screeds (see Section 4.4), if they are made from sand
cement mortar mixed on site in various ratios (from 200 to 350 kg/m3,
depending on the performance required), super-plasticising admixtures
may be added such as MAPEFLUID N200, MAPEFLUID PZ500 or
MAPESCREED 704.
MAPEFLUID N200 is a watery solution with 40% active polymers. When
added at a rate of 1% on the weight of cement, the mixing water needed
for the screed is reduced by 20%.
MAPEFLUID PZ500, on the other hand, is a powdered, pozzolanic
activity super-plasticiser. It is added at a rate of 8-10% on the weight
of cement and also reduces the amount of mixing water required.
MAPESCREED 704 is a special plasticising and water-reducing admix
for cementitious screeds, including heating and cooling screeds.
