Retanol Screed

Retanol is recognised as a valued engineered option when it comes to choosing a screed additive, due to its vastly reduced drying times and strength. Suitable to foot traffic after 24 hours and site traffic after 48 hours, with 80-90% of final screed strength achieved within the first 4 to 5 days.

Key Features

Suitable to foot traffic after 24 hours and site traffic after 48 hours, with 80-90% of final screed strength achieved within the first 4 to 5 days.

Other key benefits include

Obtainable minimum compressive strength of 40 N/mm².
Obtainable minimum flexural strength of 6 N/mm².
Bonded screeds from 15mm, and un-bonded/floating screeds from 35mm.
Very low tension so shrinkage cracks are minimal or even avoided completely.
No curing required.
No fibres required.

Excellent thermal conductivity (λ= 2.35 [W/m²K) with underfloor heating (heating can be run after 48 hours). Note that underfloor heating pipes require a minimum of 30 mm coverage over the pipe (as per BS 8204).

Insensitive to moisture so suitable for permanently wet areas.

Underfloor heating

Retanol floor screeds are suitable for underfloor heating

Versatile

Semi-dry consistency for easy laying and compaction and workable for 8-12 hours.
