These products are suitable for any domestic, commercial, industrial or design-flooring use. Suffice to say, the SMET product portfolio includes a floor screed solution for any flooring requirement. A successful addition to the flowing floor screed sector is the innovative SMET LiteFlo® lightweight flowing screed, which is unique in that it’s the first factory-produced pumpable, high quality screed material based on calcium sulphate. CE marked LiteFlo® is made from specially selected aggregates; resulting in a screed which is 30% lighter than conventional calcium sulphate flowing screed and 70% lighter than traditional sand and cement or concrete. Innovative LiteFlo® complements the current range of SMET quality flowing screeds, offering a plethora of unique benefits over traditional lightweight flooring solutions.
