Rapid Installation

The free-flowing, self-compacting nature of Highflow™ S allows for placing rates and outputs up to 10 times greater than conventional screed, significantly accelerating construction progress.

Superior Stability

The product delivers high early strength and high volume stability, eliminating the risk of curling or lifting, and allows for large areas to be laid without joints.

Underfloor Heating Optimised

Highflow™ S has excellent heat transfer characteristics, fully encapsulating underfloor heating pipes and making it eminently suitable for both water and electrical underfloor heating systems.

Why Highflow

Highflow™ S is fundamentally different from traditional sand and cement screeds, using an alpha hemi hydrate or anhydrite binder that imparts a number of special technical properties. This unique formulation allows for a reduction in screed thickness while still providing high impact resistance and achieving the requirements for Category A floors. By enabling the laying of large areas without joints and removing the need for reinforcement below ceramic finishes, the material simplifies the installation process and reduces overall material consumption.


The material's self-levelling characteristics and efficient placement by pump or chute lead to increased accuracy and high placing rates, translating directly into faster completion and quicker access for follow-on trades, which provides significant cost savings to your project. Furthermore, when correctly laid, Highflow™ S can readily achieve a surface flatness of SR2 (5mm under a 3m straight edge).

Applications

Ideal for: 

  • Underfloor Heating Systems: Highly suitable for use with either water or electrical underfloor heating systems due to its excellent heat transfer characteristics.
  • Residential Buildings: Ideal for achieving a high-quality, level base in all domestic new builds and refurbishment projects.
  • Hotels and Hospitality: Provides a smooth, stable sub-floor base suitable for a wide range of floor finishes in commercial accommodation.
  • Educational and Healthcare Facilities: Suitable for institutional buildings like schools and hospitals, where a durable, high-impact base is required.
  • Final Floor Coverings: Suitable to receive all types of plastic/vinyl, textile coverings, parquet, slabs/boards, and tiles.
