SMET LiteFlo® is a Modern High-Performance Lightweight Screed

SMET LiteFlo® combines reduced structural load, fast installation, and a high-quality finish, making it especially effective for timber floors, high-rise, old renovations, and multi-storey projects. 🏢🔧

SMET LiteFlo® is a lightweight, pumpable, flowing floor screed made from calcium sulphate (alpha hemihydrate). It is factory-produced, CE marked, and designed for fast, efficient installation of smooth, level floors.

A Smarter Approach to Floor Screeds

Traditional screeds have served the industry well for decades, but modern construction demands more.

Projects need products that install quickly, reduce labour, improve efficiency, and deliver consistently high-quality finishes. SMET LiteFlo® answers all of these challenges in one innovative solution.

Manufactured in Germany from calcium sulphate (alpha hemihydrate), SMET LiteFlo® is a factory-produced, CE-marked lightweight flowing screed designed for fast, efficient installation while producing exceptionally smooth, level floors.

Why Weight Makes Such a Difference

One of the standout features of SMET LiteFlo® is exactly what you don’t notice—its weight and its pumpability.

At only 43kg per square metre at 40mm thickness, it offers approximately:

30% less weight than standard calcium sulphate screeds.

Up to 70% less weight than traditional sand and cement screeds.

That reduction can make a significant difference across a project, particularly where structural loading is a critical consideration.

It’s an ideal solution for:

🏙️ High-rise developments

🏡 Timber-frame construction

🪵 Timber-suspended floors

🏢 Multi-storey buildings

🔨 Refurbishment and renovation projects

🏗️ New-build housing developments

Sustainability That Supports Modern Construction

The construction industry continues to move towards more sustainable building practices, and flooring systems have an important role to play.

SMET LiteFlo® incorporates a naturally occurring calcium sulphate binder and forms part of SMET’s wider commitment to sustainable construction, quality assurance, and responsible manufacturing.

Installed nationwide by SMET Supported Partners, it combines innovative engineering with practical on-site benefits, helping contractors achieve outstanding results while meeting the demands of modern construction.

Looking Ahead

As projects become taller, lighter, and more energy efficient, the demand for innovative flooring solutions will only continue to grow.  SMET LiteFlo® isn’t simply another screed—it’s a modern flooring system designed to reduce structural load, improve installation efficiency, and deliver perfectly level floors with exceptional performance.  If you’re planning your next residential, commercial, or refurbishment project, now is the perfect time to discover what lightweight flowing screeds can offer.
