| due to their many sustainable benefits which include: | | | | FlexiDry is a low concentrated liquid additive that is |
| • a reduced carbon footprint – by allowing the | | | | simply added to a cementitious screed mix on site. |
| screed to be laid at a reduced thickness compared to | | | | Depending on the concentration added, FlexiDry |
| standard cementitious screeds, FlexiDry uses less | | | | transforms screed drying times with a choice of 7, 14 |
| cement • minimal waste – by being mixed on | | | | or 21 days. |
| site FlexiDry allows a huge reduction in building waste | | | | In addition to reduced drying times, FlexiDry benefits |
| sent to landfill • reduced handling/transport - being | | | | include the ability to accept foot traffic after 12 |
| a low volume liquid-based additive, FlexiDry cuts | | | | hours of laying; improved compressive strength; and |
| storage needs and transport emissions due to the | | | | a reduced carbon footprint. Due to its high density |
