Dry screed is a variant that is particularly suitable for dry finishing, for example, for the conversion of an attic space. This eliminates the need for drying and the waiting time required when applying a new coating. Dry screeds are therefore often used in old buildings, as the advantage of rapid drying in a relatively short time for the re-use of the building is fully appreciated. Materials used by dry screeds include chipboard, OSB- boards, hardwood fibreboards, gypsum fibreboards, plasterboard or screed boards.
Advantages of dry screed are:
- No waiting time due to drying
- No drying control
- No moisture load on the building structure
- Easy installation
- Low construction heights
- Optimally suitable for underfloor heating
- No risk of deformation due to drying
