ARDEX A 38 - Rapid-Set Cement Screed
Product Description
ARDEX A 38 is a rapid set cement screed that has been designed for all types of floor coverings and is especially effective when installing moisture sensitive coverings. In addition it is compatible with ARDEX’s entire PANDOMO range and Polished Concrete ranges.
It produces a screed that improves on-site efficiencies by allowing traffic shortly after application and laying of the floor covering on the same day.
The screed can be used as a bonded screed, unbonded screed (on a slipsheet or insulating layer), or as a heated screed.
