Hello,

my construction company has fallen behind schedule and wants to make up time with the screed. In my house, floating cement screed is to be used. Before the start of construction, I was told that the screed must dry for at least 28 days. Now that they are behind schedule, the site manager tells me that they will add a additive to the screed, which reduces the time to 14 days.

My question now is whether this is correct and if the quality remains the same?

Thanks in advance

Gerald

That is okay. It costs the company a bit more. We have it too. There are countless opinions on the topic - everyone recommends something different,... The chemical additive helps to bind the screed. Just for your information: we are currently having discussions because the screed has settled by about 0.5 to 1.5 cm after 8 months. Now the baseboards are hanging in the air,... Whether this is also the case with normal screed without chemical additive, I do not know.
