Abstract
Provides recommendations for materials, design, work on site, inspection and testing of pumpable self-smoothing screeds (often known as “self-levelling screeds”). Covers the use of pumpable levelling screeds and pumpable wearing screeds in buildings. As a levelling screed, the screed is intended to receive floor coverings such as: textiles; linoleum; polyvinyl chloride; rubber; cork; or rigid floorings such as: wood block and strip; ceramic tiles; natural stone; synthetic resin wearing surfaces. As a wearing screed, the screed is intended to provide a wearing surface itself.
