How quickly can you get back to business as usual?

Whether it’s a greenfield project or a repair to be completed within a maintenance window timeline, getting the job done properly and returning to business as usual as quickly as possible can be rather challenging. Understanding the pressure of compressed timelines Kagetec® has a range of screed and mortar bed systems that can easily accommodate our clients' time constraints.

Broken down in terms of return to services windows of 24 hours, 7 days, and 14 days all screed and mortar bed installations are available as a bonded or unbonded system and can be installed at a slope of 1 to 3%, with a variance tolerance of 1 to 3mm over three meters. Where necessary the screed and mortars can be reinforced per the engineer’s specification. 

24-Hour return to service

For projects with a critical timeline our rapid cure CAC mortar bed allows us to deliver a floor with full loading capability within a weekend’s work. This mortar achieves 60-70MPa in six hours and a moisture content of <5% in the same timeline.

For projects with a more lenient timeline, we rely on our zero slump chemical screed which combines high-quality materials and specialist chemicals to achieve the desired strength. In addition to the specialist chemicals, our screed comprises high-strength cement and a combination of river, plaster, and dune sand. No aggregates are added ensuring that we can apply the screed at 1% to the desired falls and flatness.

7-Day return to service

By applying a bespoke bonding layer to the chemical screed after 24 and again at 36 hours before tiling, the screed will achieve full loading capacity after seven days. This is an ideal solution for projects with a compressed timeline.

14-Day return to service

This is the standard timeline for delivering a tiled floor achievable with our dry chemical screed. 

It is a harsh reality that building and maintenance projects rarely run smoothly. In manufacturing environments where time is money and delays can be ill-afforded, it is comforting to have a product where the installation window can be reduced without compromising the final product in any way.
