Process of Installation
Installing a Gypsol Classic in the Newbury floor system requires precision planning coupled with specialised product knowledge and skilful technique. Here is a brief overview:
- Surface Preparation – The concrete or wood substrate must be properly prepared to specifications ensuring a strong bond with the gypsum screed floor.
- Perimeter Edges – Edge insulation strips provide isolation at walls and structural elements allowing independent movement.
- Reinforcement Mesh – Fiberglass mesh reinforcement adds tensile strength and impact resistance.
- Underfloor Heating – Electric or hydronic heating systems may be installed directly beneath the Gypsol screed.
- Mixing & Pouring – The Gypsol binder and aggregate are mixed with water to a fluid state and poured directly onto the prepared substrate.
- Levelling & Smoothing – Our technicians will ensure proper dispersion before the fluid screed naturally self-levels through gravity.
- Curing & Drying – Walkable after 24 hours, fully cures within 7-14 days becoming extremely hard and durable up to 50 MPa.
- Floor Coverings – With minimal preparation, nearly any floor covering can be successfully applied over a smooth surface.
