Anhydrietdekvloer

Anhydrietdekvloer, also known as calcium sulfate screed, is a type of floor topping made from anhydrous calcium sulfate. It is a flowing screed that self-levels, creating a smooth and even surface. This material is often chosen for its good thermal conductivity, making it suitable for use with underfloor heating systems. It is also known for its strength and durability, as well as its ability to accommodate large floor areas without the need for expansion joints, provided the correct installation procedures are followed.

The installation of an anhydrietdekvloer typically involves mixing the calcium sulfate binder with aggregates and water on-site. The resulting slurry is then poured and spread onto the subfloor. Due to its self-leveling properties, it requires minimal manual leveling. After application, the screed needs to cure, a process that can take several weeks depending on thickness and environmental conditions. It is crucial to ensure the screed is fully dried before applying floor coverings to prevent moisture-related issues.

Anhydrietdekvloeren are commonly used in both residential and commercial buildings. They offer a stable and level base for various types of finishes, including tiles, wood flooring, and carpet. However, anhydrite screeds are sensitive to moisture and are generally not recommended for wet areas like bathrooms or kitchens unless a suitable waterproofing membrane is installed. Proper preparation of the subfloor and adherence to manufacturer specifications during installation are essential for the long-term performance of an anhydrietdekvloer.
