Durability and functionality of flooring, whether finishing that will be installed is ceramic, stone, carpet, clothing in PVC, linoleum, carpet, rubber or wood, depends largely on the physical characteristics and elasto-mechanical substrate that is applied.

These properties should be defined depending on the final utility and therefore will take into account the tasks to which it, the aggressive environmental conditions, type of floor, deformability of the substrate and the angle of deviation of the concrete slab. This technical specification is intended to be a useful technical guidance regarding the procedures and products that use Mapei screeds offered to achieve long lasting.

Sapa is a constructive element is generally between 4 and 8 cm thickness. It is made of mortar or cement binders of plaster.

Sapa is a medium which is suitable for mounting any type of ceramic type flooring, natural stone, wood or clothing as carpet, carpet, PVC, linoleum, etc..

You also need to ensure that the operation of hardware runs on time and that sustainability will not be compromised when it is put into exercise in various conditions (indoor or outdoor use, residential use, commercial or industrial, etc.).

Sustainability finished floor is influenced by substrate characteristics that are related to those of natural products used for digging (special binders, traditional mortar or mortar prepared on site), and the way it is prepared, put into operation, compactness and drying mixture.

In conclusion, the choices should be considered final utility, the site conditions (indoor, outdoor, thickness of application, etc.), the type of finished floor to be made, the waiting time before applying the finished floor, the time waiting until the putting into operation.
