Fine smoot hing Hospitals, schools, hotels, offices, and other projects’ floors are treated with specific technical methods in order to receive different types of floor coverings. In thin levelling conditions, before covering with rubber vinyl, linoleum, carpet or wooden floor coverings, it is recommended to even smoothen the substrate by using weberfloor smooth FD, a fine smoothing and selflevelling compound, guaranteeing: high quality substrate for thin floor coverings, even, resistant and with regular porosity for good bonding. Weber fast covering fine smoothing levelling product enables specialized applicators to covers the floors after 12 to 48 hours from application. weberfloor smooth FD is a fast drying cement based fine smoothing and Self-levelling product used for floor levelling ranged from 1 to 10mm.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Substrate • All surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from grease, laitance, oil and dust. • Remove all loose material, broken pieces of concrete. • Defected surfaces in new and old concrete must be repaired before applying the flooring products. • New concrete should be at least 28 days old in a way that any shrinkage has already occurred. • Prime the surface with weberfloor 510 prime before the application of weberfloor smooth FD. Product preparation & application • Mix with a drill mixer by respecting the water ratio. Allow to stand for 2 minutes then pour the mixed material into the prepared substrate. • Pumpable Limit the work areas into manageable sections of approximately 20 m². Reduce the width of the work area when applying in warmer temperatures (> +35 ˚C). Pour the mixed material onto the prepared surface, then immediately spread it with a large metal trowel or spiked roller to help in levelling and smoothing the surface.

T hick pumpable screed Traditional screed is usually a mix of cement and sand in poor site conditions. Premixed screed contains, in addition to cement and sand, special additives that improves the product’s characteristics such as setting time, shrinkage, strength and other… Quality control is an essential key for achieving a constant mix.
Traditional screed: • Site mixing of cement and aggregates • Inconsistent of mixing quality • Very messy site • Considerable Wastage
weber screed: • Pre-mixed product made from special cement and additives • Consistent mixes & Good quality: controlling setting time, shrinkage, strength, flowability… • Organized, cleaner site & quick application for time saving • No wastage
weberfloor easy 625 A high performance screed that can be used at different thicknesses and has multiple function. When used as bonded, un-bonded or floating screed, care should be done on the substrate in order to avoid any possible future failures. • Easy levelling • Pumpable • Low shrinkage • Fill irregularities up to 100mm • Compressive strength: 25 MPa • Can be covered directly with tiles

Comfort solutions weberfloor easy 625 can be used for comfort purpose solution as part of the acoustic and thermal insulation systems.
a - Thermal insulation system 15 - 20% of total building heat loss is through the floor. Thermal bridges created at floor/wall junctions, inconstant internal temperature condition, and loss of energy are main reasons to insulate a floor. Weber offers a thermal floor insulation system solving the loss of heat and maintaining a constant internal temperature that provides the end-user the needed comfort in addition to saving energy that meets the green buildings requirement. weberfloor easy 625 is applied as floating application on top of the insulation board then covered by the required floor finishing. Based on the standard DIN 18560-2:2004: The minimum thickness requirement of the screed on top of the insulation material depends on the following factors: • Compressibility of the insulation material (this will be different per type of material) • Flexural strength of the screed material • Max expected loads on top of the floating floor (point loads and surface loads) Screed floor easy 625

b - Impact sound insulation system In specific projects such as hotels, schools, hospitals, where sound insulation is essential for the daily comfort, weber offers an impact sound insulation flooring system, an effective floating floor application which reduces the noise transmitted through the floors. APPLICATION after cleaning well the substrate, the acoustic membrane is glued on the concrete then, weberfloor easy 625 is applied on top at a specific thickness that provides the required sound reduction.

Impact sound reduct ion level The level of disturbing noise, caused by echoing, footsteps, impact of falling objects, or vibrating machines, can be reduced by using a good quality of floor sound insulation system. Specific sound insulation systems are available in order to reach the required noise reduction (dB) whether in new constructions or renovations.
