• The rapid drying time of Ardex A38 sees installation of floor coverings, such as ceramic or natural stone tile in 4 hours. Installation in just 48 hours for resilient and textile coverings, regardless of thickness!

• Resilient floorcoverings such as carpet, vinyl and wood can be installed after 48 hours irrespective of thickness.

• Ardex A38 achieves rapid strengthening and will pass a BRE Screed (ISCR) Test after just 6 hours.

• After a day, it will also exceed the acceptable minimum compressive and tensile bending strengths attained by ordinary cement screeds after 28 days

• USE Ardex A38 is used to produce bonded, unbonded and floating screeds for internal and external locations

• Can also be used in wet areas such as swimming pools.

• It can also be used for large repairs to existing cement/sand screeds.

• It is ideal for situations where early foot traffic and rapid hardening is required. THICKNESS Ardex A38 should be applied to the following thicknesses as recommended by BS 8204: Part 1 or BS 5385: Part 3: Bonded screeds: 15mm - 40mm.

• Unbonded screeds: 50mm+. Floating screeds: 75mm+ or 65mm+ in lightly loaded/domestic locations. When used for screed repair

• Ardex A38 can be applied to the full thickness of the existing cement/sand screed.
