A screed with high thermal conductivity for use with underfloor heating systems.
Supaflo HTC should only be used if the building envelope is complete; doors and windows should be in place and must be closed for the first 24 to 48 hours after installation to prevent drafts blowing across the surface of the screed.
Supaflo HTC is a self-compacting flowing screed based on an anhydrite binder. It is specifically intended for use with underfloor heating systems and is formulated to provide a floor with higher thermal conductivity when compared to traditional cement, sand screed and regular flowing screed.
The product can help improve the sustainability criteria when compared to conventional screeds, it can also be installed with a minimum cover to the underfloor heating pipes of 20 mm, subject to substrate suitability. At this reduced cover some differential settlement may occur.
It is recommended the screed is lightly sanded prior to overlaying and is compatible with all types of floor covering.
