Application

Gypsol Rapide can be used from a minimum depth of just 15 mm unbonded and 35 mm floating with or without underfloor heating. Therefore, customers use the product in all construction types for internal floors to receive subsequent floor treatment.

Foremost, the product offers a surface finish that is smooth, flat and level.

As a result, this forms the suitable subfloor for:

  • Tiles;
  • Vinyl;
  • Resin;
  • Any other floor covering.

Gypsol Rapide is pumped into place by specially trained screeders who use specialized equipment. Because this screed dries quickly, it is ready to accept floor coverings in as little as 14 days based on 50 mm depth. As a result, this product offers unrivalled performance.
