Design

ISOLPAV s.p.a. strives to improve planning on site, to make each phase of work as efficient as possible.

Our work has to alternate with other work on site, such as plastering, electrics and plumbing.

It is therefore very important to coordinate all the phases as best possible and respect schedules on site.

The right schedules must be followed for subfloors and screed, so they are ready in time for the next phase of work.

ISOLPAV s.p.a. has innovated over the years, using automated and high-tech tools and equipment.

These also allow for simple logistics:

• Fast organisation and execution of work
• Cleaning on site
• Workers' safety on site

WIDTHS

In order to guarantee the cladding lasts, the thickness of the screed must be determined based on the expected loads, the type of subfloor, the future use of the floor and the construction of the screed.

The minimum thickness for unbonded screeds is 4 cm, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.

For floating screeds it is 4 cm for domestic use and 6 cm for commercial use.

For screeds with heating or cooling, in addition to the requirements for floating screeds, a minimum thickness of of at least 3 cm above the heating or cooling section is required under UNI EN 1264.

This is particularly important in the case of thin screeds (<4 cm).

Where it is not possible to comply with the minimum thicknesses required by good practice, it may be worth varying the type of screed.

At the design stage, it is best to avoid sudden changes in thickness.

The thickness above the pipes must be at least 3 cm. In order to reinforce this small section of screed and to keep the risk of cracks to a minimum, sufficient reinforcement must be added to the middle of the screed.
