SMET LiteFlo® Lightweight Flowing Floor Screed
Our unique German-made, factory produced, pumpable, high-quality LiteFlo® Alpha Hemihydrate screed based on calcium sulphate.
LiteFlo® Lightweight Flowing Screed is designed for application at thicknesses of between 20 and 90 mm and is particularly suitable for application over timber suspended floors and in high-rise buildings and apartment blocks. LiteFlo® complies with EN 13813: 2002. and is CE-marked.
LiteFlo® is suitable for floors in homes, offices, public buildings, and places exposed to similar loads. LiteFlo® may be applied as a levelling screed directly onto a load-bearing floor, unbonded on a separating barrier (polyethene), as a floating floor and can be used in conjunction with underfloor heating or cavity floors. However, when using LiteFlo® in combination with underfloor heating, it should be noted that LiteFlo® has a low thermal conductivity.
LiteFlo® should be covered with a floor finish such as tiles, linoleum, parquet, cork, or carpet. If a cement-based adhesive or smoothing compound is required the surface of the screed must first be sealed, using an appropriate acrylic primer/sealer.
