Technical Notebook
1.INTRODUCTION
The aim of this Technical Notebook is to define the fundamental criteria
to be considered when designing and laying screeds, and to highlight
the products available from MAPEl for laying durable screeds.
The service life and functionality of any type of flooring, whether the
material used is ceramic, stone, textile, resilient or wood, are highly
dependent on the physical and elastic-mechanical characteristics of
the substrate on which it is installed. These properties must be defined
according to a number of factors, such as the final use of the flooring,
which basically means the loads acting on its surface, environmental
conditions, the type of flooring to be installed, the compressibility of the
underlying layers and any deflections in the concrete floor slab.

maximum acceptable tolerance with this particular straightedge is
2 mm, although the acceptable tolerance varies according to the
length of the straightedge used to check for flatness. If the flatness
is not in tolerance, the surface must be levelled off using a suitable

- Make sure that the floor slab is well cured, sufficiently resistant, that there are
no traces of dust or crumbling portions and that it has a rough surface.
- Whatever type of adhesion promoter is used, the new mix must be applied
using the "wet on wet" technique.
- Perimeter joints must be made around the room and around pillars by
inserting 1 em thick compressible material, such as expanded polystyrene.
Also, joints must be made in correspondence with those in the floor slab.
