Ready-to-use screeding materials should conform to the performance requirements of BS EN 13813.

The preferred method to meet the requirements of established suitability of constituents, as required in BS EN 13813, is for materials to meet the requirements of 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.7 and 5.8 of this standard, otherwise, the manufacturer should demonstrate the established suitability of the screed constituents.

  1. Optionally, the ready-to-use screed material may be heavily retarded by the use of an appropriate admixture to give an extended working period, generally 8h. After this time, commencement of the set takes place in the normal manner.
  2. One tonne of screed material will cover an area of approximately 9m2 when laid at thickness of 50 mm. It is essential that the screed material is used before the working life specified by the manufacturer expires. On no account should the screed be remixed in a mechanical mixer. Screeds have to be protected from traffic and damage after laying. Adequate curing and protection from the weather is essential and the surface should not be trafficked for at least 5 days after laying.
