Reinforcement mesh for floor screeds

A reinforcement mesh in the floor screed prevents cracks during the curing of cement, anhydrite and underfloor heating screeds. Primafloor, ANTICRACK and FLEX GRID are designed for this and are CE marked in accordance with EAD 260057-00-0303.

Does a floor screed always need reinforcement?

Not every floor screed requires reinforcement, but for a bonded, floating, unbonded or heated screed, a reinforcement mesh considerably reduces the risk of cracking during the critical drying and curing period. Primafloor is a flexible glass, carbon or basalt fibre reinforcement mesh designed for this, and is non-magnetic and corrosion-free.

Which products suit floor screeds

Primafloor minimises cracks during the critical 28-day drying and curing period of bonded, floating, unbonded and underfloor heating screeds. ANTICRACK is a carbon reinforcement mesh with excellent bonding behaviour for optimal crack distribution and small cracks. FLEX GRID is flexible and can be cut to size.
