HOW TO MIX SAND CEMENT SCREED

These mixing instructions are designed to help you get the best out of Sand Cement Screed:

• Segregation can take place during transit, which is why we recommend you thoroughly mix the bag

contents before use.

• For optimum results, mix the contents of the bag thoroughly by means of forced action mechanical

mixers such as pan or paddle, while being careful to use approximately 1.6 litres of clean water per

bag to get the consistency you want for both laying and thorough compaction.

• The use of mechanical free fall mixers should be avoided as their use can lead to the balling of screed

material and affect the materials performance.

• The screed should be used within an hour of the water being added.

• If you add too much water, the mix will be weaker, it will take longer to set and the overall

performance of the screed will be impaired.

• One of the main benefits of Sand Cement Screed is that all plasticisers and workability aids are

incorporated into the mix, which means you don’t have to add anything to maximise the performance

of the product.

• Once laid, we recommend you cover the screed for at least 7 days with plastic sheeting or other

suitable material.
