Lightweight Foam Screed – The Revolutionary Flooring Solution
What is Light Foam Screed?
Light foam screed (also called foamed concrete screed or cellular lightweight screed) is an innovative flooring material that combines:
✔ Cement binder
✔ Pre-formed foam
✔ Specialized additives
This creates an ultra-lightweight, high-performance screed with 50-70% less weight than traditional sand-cement screeds.
Key Benefits of Light Foam Screed
1. Structural Advantages
- 50-90% lighter than conventional screeds (300-900 kg/m³ vs. 1800-2200 kg/m³)
- Reduces dead load on structures – ideal for high-rises & renovations
- Minimizes foundation requirements – cuts construction costs
2. Thermal & Acoustic Performance
- 3x better insulation than traditional screeds (λ 0.08-0.12 W/mK)
- Excellent sound dampening – reduces impact noise by 15-20dB
- Compatible with underfloor heating – fast heat-up times
3. Installation Efficiency
- Pumpable – can be installed 5x faster than sand-cement
- Self-leveling – requires minimal manual finishing
- Walkable in 24 hours – accelerates project timelines
4. Sustainability Features
- Up to 30% recycled materials in mix
- Lower carbon footprint (less cement required)
- Reduced transport weight = fewer truckloads
