Dry Screed Flooring

Your quick and easy alternative to wet screed flooring

For a stronger monolithic floor, dry screed provides an effective solution. At Knauf, you can find a range of flooring panels, each designed to fit your buildings' unique needs. Dry screed benefits from easier installation, helping you deliver projects on time with minimal disruption. Unlike traditional wet floor screed, these floor structures do not require water for installation. Leaving no residue, they are ideal for multiple applications while complying with modern construction methods.

Easy to install

The Knauf dry screed range comprises four core systems: Brio, Brio WF, GIFA Hugo, GIFA FHB and GIFA FHB WF. Each of these is simple to install, with no specialist screed pumps or water needed onsite. The panels will easily fit over joints, battens and pedestals. Alternatively, they can be laid over solid subfloors. They're also thinner than traditional wet screeds. Perfect for retrofit and refurbishment projects, dry screed floors maximise the floor to ceiling height in any modern building.

Light and Fast Drying

Not only are dry screed floor panels thinner, but more lightweight. In some cases, they can weigh as little as 75% less than wet screed alternatives. As a result, projects may require less substantial concrete or steel structures and foundations. They're also ready to go within 24 hours. Dry screed can withstand underfloor heating, floor finishes and even foot traffic just one day after installation. Thanks to low thermal resistance and high thermal conductivity, they can also reduce energy consumption.

Suitable for a range of finishes

The Knauf dry screed range is suitable for several applications, from kitchen to bathroom flooring. Whether it's a domestic or commercial setting, they integrate with ceramic floor tiles, natural stone floor tiles, laminate flooring, vinyl flooring and wood flooring. What's more, when you choose Knauf systems paired with our accessories, you get the Knauf System Performance Warranty. This means your installations will perform to their specified requirements throughout the lifetime of the building.
