Features and benefits
Using Lytag® in screed systems reduces weight by around 50% compared to sand cement and anhydrite screeds (1060kg/m3)
Advantages for new structures: Reduced dead loads means less supporting structure is needed
Advantages for new refurbishments: Allows a robust screed solution where weight is a problem
Benefits: Less weight allows for greater flexibility in design
LytaScreed produces a material with very low shrinkage, typically 0.04%
Advantages: Large bays can be cast quicker and in a single operation, reducing the need for movement and day joints; fewer cracks.
Benefits: Time and money savings
LytaScreed's drying time is 3x quicker than sand cement and anhydrite screeds
Advantages: Speeds up construction
Benefits: Floors can be used sooner. A quicker client handover
LytaScreed allows a greater depth to be used compared to normal sand / cement screeds. This enables levels, or falls, to be formed more easily
Advantages: Greater flexibility in all screed projects; virtually no restrictions on use
Benefits: Offers a lightweight universal solution
LytaScreed dramatically improves the insulation capabilities of screed systems. Replacing sand cement and anhydrite screeds with LytaScreed can reduce the thermal conductivity of that section by up to 80%
Advantages: Increased overall insulation capabilities
Benefits: Reduced cost of additional insulation. Helps to meet Part L of building regulation for Conservation of fuel and power
LytaScreed produces voids which increase the sound insulation properties of up to 6dB compared to sand cement screed
Advantages: Reduction in sound transfer through floors in offices, hospitals, schools, theatres, residential, etc
Benefits: Quieter buildings and cost savings. Helps to meet Part E of building Regulations
LytaScreed is cementitious, therefore hydro-dynamically stable
Advantages: LytagScreed can be used in outside locations unlike anhydrite screeds
Benefits: It can be used in most building applications.
