Anhydrite screed: definition and characteristics

A calcium sulfate-based liquid screed with near-zero shrinkage, preferred for underfloor heating systems.

B

Ee
Implementation

Edge insulation strip: definition and role

A flexible strip installed against walls before pouring, which prevents any rigid contact between the screed and the walls.

Ss
Implementation

Screed layer: definition, role, and skills

A professional specializing in surface preparation and the installation of screeds prior to flooring application.

Ee
Thermal insulation

EPS (expanded polystyrene): definition and uses

Expanded polystyrene, a rigid thermal insulation used under screeds in panels or as poured insulating mortar.

Ss
Thermal insulation

Spray-applied PUR: definition and principles

Polyurethane foam applied via spray, which expands on-site to form a continuous, seamless insulating layer.

Rr
Acoustics

Resilient underlayment: definition and role

A flexible layer placed between the subfloor and the screed that absorbs vibrational energy from impacts.

Ff
Acoustics

Floating floors: definition and acoustic principles

A flooring system separated from the structure by a resilient layer, designed to block the transmission of impact noise.

Anhydrite screed: definition and characteristics

A calcium sulfate-based liquid screed with near-zero shrinkage, preferred for underfloor heating systems.

Ll
Hat styles

Liquid screed: definition and characteristics

A self-leveling screed poured in a fluid state that spreads on its own and levels out without the need for manual screeding.

Bb
Hat styles

Bonded screed: definition and principle

A screed poured directly onto the substrate, with which it forms a solid, unified structure without any intermediate layer.

Ff
Hat styles

Floating screed: definition and principle

A screed poured over a compressible layer and separated from the walls, with no rigid contact with the structure.
