Mix one 20 kg bag of Mapecem with 80 to 100 kg of graded 0-8 mm gravel and 4 to 8 kg of water depending on aggregate moisture. Incorporate saw cuts to one third of the screed thickness in large bay sizes. If work is interrupted for more than 1 hour, cut the screed perpendicularly and insert steel rods (3 to 6 mm diameter, 20 to 30 cm long) spaced 20 to 30 cm apart into the edge to prevent cracking and differential movement. For bonded screeds over 50 mm thick, or unbonded installations on compressible substrates or over 60 mm thick, incorporate galvanised mesh reinforcement in accordance with AS 3958.1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mapei","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47995205779648,"sku":"MAPECEM\/20","price":69.18,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0507\/3630\/0224\/files\/mapecem-fast-setting-screed-flooring-adheseal.png?v=1775470248"},{"product_id":"mapei-topcem-pronto-slurry","title":"Mapei Topcem Pronto Slurry","description":"\u003cdiv role=\"main\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eTo ensure a reliable bond when installing a Topcem Pronto bonded engineered screed, Topcem Pronto Slurry creates the critical interface on concrete substrates.
