RLA TruLevel EconoScreed Rapid is a preblended rapid-hardening cementitious screed for forming levels, ramps and falls where the floor programme cannot wait for a traditional site-mixed screed to dry. It is intended for residential, commercial and medium-duty flooring preparation before compatible waterproofing or floor finishes.
RLA positions EconoScreed Rapid for screed builds from approximately 10mm to 100mm in a single placement, subject to the construction method and substrate preparation specified in the current technical data.
The product is designed for same-day or next-stage construction, with ceramic tiling and compatible waterproofing possible after the stated rapid cure window and resilient flooring after the longer specified period. Temperature, humidity and screed thickness remain important to final covering time.
Prepare the substrate to sound, clean material and use the RLA-specified primer or bonding method for bonded work. RLA Universal Primer and RLA Moisture Seal are separate preparation products for specific substrate conditions; select them only where the current system guidance calls for them.
