With years of experience, we have established ourselves as leading installers of this innovative gypsum floor screed, noted for its strength, smoothness and excellent thermal conductivity.
What is Gypsol Diamond?
Gypsol diamond in Oxford is a modern self-smoothing anhydrite flowing screed that offers superior performance compared to traditional sand: cement screeds. The key benefits of Gypsol diamond include:
- High strength – With compressive strength, it can be stronger than concrete.
- Ultra smooth finish – The liquid form allows a smooth, level surface to be achieved.
- Faster drying and installation – Can be walked on after 24 hours.
- Excellent Thermal Conductivity – Ideal for underfloor heating systems.
- Low Shrinkage – Unlike other screeds, there is negligible shrinkage.
Gypsol diamond contains a special aggregate that improves flow and gives it a robust, durable nature while still drying quickly. This makes it the ideal modern floor screed.
