It is very important to choose the right self-leveling screed for a successful tiling project. If used appropriately, a screed will give you a smooth and leveled surface that guarantees long-lasting tile adhesion. You are staring at a disaster if the screed is applied improperly. Your troubles will only quadruple with a poor-quality screed.
The issues can range from benign to severe. We are talking about uneven tiles, cracking, and adhesive failure. For years now, the construction industry in India has relied on traditional sand-cement screeds.
While they have their benefits, the downsides far outweigh whatever good they bring to the table. Long curing time, cracking, and shrinkage are problems common with such types of screeds. They are not at all ideal for the demands of modern renovation projects.
At Magnus Ventures, we are privy to these challenges and set out on a mission to formulate a product that would do a lot more than address the shortcomings of traditional sand-based screed. Our efforts finally led to the formulation of what we believe to be one of the finest ranges of products – M-Screed CS and M-Screed Self-Leveling.
In this article, we want to introduce you to these innovations and explain how they can take your home renovation endeavors to the next level.
So, without much further ado, let’s dive in.
An Overview of M-Screed CS
M-Screed CS is a cement-based screed engineered by the talented team at Magnus Ventures to meet the demands of tiling projects in rather challenging environments. It is the ideal option for areas that are wet or need a more stable surface. It stands out for exhibiting some unique properties, which distinguish it from traditional screeds.
Here are some of its stand-out characteristics
1. Ideal for Application in Wet Areas
Laundry rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, all of these areas are susceptible to moisture. Prolonged exposure to moisture will eventually compromise the structural integrity of a traditional screed. This isn’t an issue you have to worry about with M-Screed CS. This substance was engineered specifically to tolerate longer exposure to moisture.
It exhibits excellent water-resistant properties. As such, you can expect the screed to remain unfazed even when the humidity is really high. This also makes M-Screed CS a perfect solution to prevent tile cracking and debonding in the future because of high moisture.
2. Self-Compacting
Another noteworthy thing about M-Screed CS is its self-compacting nature. There is no need for extensive manual compaction when applying it. You are assured a dense, screed layer that spreads uniformly across the surface. There are few to no voids left behind. This ensures the structural integrity of your tiles remains intact.
Because of this property, the time to install tiles is also cut in half, and you don’t need to invest heavily in labor as well. You can count on this screed to give you a smoother surface that’s perfect for tile installation.
3. Perfect for Thinner Sections
Traditional screeds can only be applied on thicker applications. This is another problem M-Screed CS solves, as you can apply it to thinner sections. It will do so without affecting stability in the slightest. Application on a thinner section also means less material wastage. This makes M-Screed CS relatively more cost-effective.
4. Shrinkage Free
Shrinkage is a major problem with traditional screeds. This issue will eventually aggravate and result in tile failure. We’ve engineered M-Screed CS to exhibit shrinkage-free properties. This screed will maintain its stability long after it is cured. This brings down the risk of cracking because of dry shrinkage.
M-Screed: Self-Leveling
This is another version of M-Screed, which is ideal for folks who wish for a screed that is versatile and guaranteed superior performance. The screed stands out for its flow characteristics, which deliver both self-leveling and smoothing properties. M-Screed: Self-Leveling is recommended for common subfloors like concrete, sand/cement screed.
Here are some of its stand-out features
1. Self-Curing
This is one of M-Screed Self-Levering’s most endearing features. When using this substance, no additional curing processes are required. M-Screed Self-Leveling is self-curing in nature. This means accelerated renovation turnaround. This makes M-Screed Self-Leveling perfect for people who want to conclude their home renovation projects faster.
2. High-Crack Resistance
M-Screed: Self-Leveling features additives that bolster its flexural strength. This makes the substance highly resistant to cracks that can occur due to stress, both mechanical and thermal. This substance is perfect for areas that experience furniture loads, temperature fluctuations, and furniture loads.
3. Versatile
M-Screed Self-Leveling works fine with a wide range of substrates. You can use it for renovations on the kitchen, hallway, bathroom, and other areas. It can adapt easily to various surface conditions. You will get the same excellent result across different applications.
This includes applying it as an underlayment for repairs and patching of screeds, concrete, and cementitious surfaces. You can also use it as an underlayment leveling floor for carpet, vinyl flooring, tiles, wooden tile floor, uneven horizontal surface of concrete screeds, etc.
4. Excellent Adhesion
Once applied, M-Screed Self-Leveling renders a smooth surface that is not only ideal for tiling but also ensures enhanced adhesion. It ensures a strong bond between the screed, the adhesive, and the tile. Any risk of tile failure is mitigated to a greater degree.
5. High Strength
M-Screed Self-Leveling exhibits high-bonding strength. This makes the substance ideal for various kinds of challenging applications. Once applied, you are guaranteed long-lasting results.
6. Superior Flow
This self-leveling screed ensures superior flow. This means the substance spreads easily and evenly to deliver a flat surface that makes tiling effortless. Its use negates the employment of manual leveling. With the use of this screed, you don’t need to waste time on installation or money on labor. This superior flow ensures a high-quality finish.
