Cement based cast floor

The cement-bound screed floor is

the mineral cast floor

In essence, a cement-bound cast floor is a 4 millimeter thick cement-bound floor, or in other words, a concrete-look floor.

There are many types of cast floors, and cementbound cast floors are different from PU cast floors. In addition to its hard and durable characteristics, this floor also has the look and feel of an industrial concrete floor while having durable properties that rival concrete. While the floor is drying, you can see how the natural drawing on the surface creates a sense of depth, which is always pleasing to the eye.

What are the characteristics of a cement-bound screed floor?

The cast concrete floors have an attractive natural appearance and are also robust in appearance. In addition to being one of the most durable cast floors available, it is also UV resistant.

The floor is also available in a wide variety of natural color shades. In fact, the design that arises during the drying process is a result of the floor itself and thus cannot be corrected, which is why it is so surprising. In order to clean cement-base floors, vacuuming with a soft brush and mopping with a damp mop combined with a screed floor cleaner is the best method. There is a PH value in the cleaning product that is tailored to the paint on the cast flooring. After cleaning the floor gently, a protective film will be left on the surface of it.

In some cases, aggressive cleaning agents may discolor the floor and cause it to lose its distinctive radiant appearance.

A cement-bound screed floor provides a number of benefits

  • Wear-resistant: this floor has the advantage of being very durable and wear-resistant.
  • Industrial look: this floor has a very sturdy and authentic character.
  • Underfloor heating: It is possible to install the cement-base floor in combination with underfloor heating; however, careful consideration of the composition is necessary.
  • Renovations: a cement-based floor is ideal for older homes being renovated or for rooms with a limited number of square feet.
  • Waterproof: A cement-based floor is not completely waterproof, unlike a cast floor, which makes it less suitable for use in areas that are prone to dampness. The laying of this type of floor also takes a little longer, since cement-based floors are applied in one go and require a significantly longer time for drying. Therefore, it is recommended not to walk on this floor until it has dried. It is necessary to polish the floor when the surface is thoroughly dry and cured. After polishing the floor, the cement-base floor acquires its natural robust concrete appearance. The floor needs to sit for at least a week before a single step can be taken on it or any furniture can be placed on it. As a result of this patient process and the wait, what is achieved is the beautiful robust look of natural concrete, which is definitely worth the wait.
