Screed Replacement Tiles – the best alternative to screed
The Screed Replacement Tile is truly a unique product. Unique products have a tendency of being designed for one thing but good at many. This is typical of the Screed Replacement Tile system.
The S.R.T. system consists of clay, interlocking tongue and groove tiles that are laid loose on the JUPITER IDEAL underfloor heating system. Each tile is 400mm x 180mm x 20mm.
Having been fired in a kiln the S.R.T. the system is inert and does not expand and contract when subjected to heat as a heated screed does. This unique property negates the need of movement joints when laid whereas traditional screed systems require them. Having a coefficient of expansion similar to tiles and stone floors means that the risk of floor finishes cracking is completely removed.
The next advantage of the S.R.T. system over any other system is its strength in relation to it’s thickness. The tiles can withstand point loads of 5kN although they are only 20mm thick which make them suitable for heavy duty commercial applications. The S.R.T. is used to compliment the JUPITER IDEAL Between Joist solution as it is capable of absorbing deflection so that fine floor finishes such as marble or stone floors can be installed without the risk of floor failure.
The Screed Replacement Tile is also available as a finished glased floor tile.
