Question 8

What screed should I use for heavy traffic areas?

Accepted Answer

We often have clients installing screed in high traffic areas or where the tiles will be driven on such as garages.  In these circumstances we always recommend that an engineered screed is installed along with high quality adhesives for both the screed and the tiles.  High traffic areas or garages have additional stress factors such as point loading and twisting from tyres which could damage traditional sand cement screeds.  If your garage is worth tiling, its worth using an engineered screed.  The same applies for industrial and heavy traffic commercial areas where heavy vehicles or point loading is more prevalent.
