TECHNICAL DATASHEET
STONE CARPET
Three Component Natural Quartz Screed
STONE CARPET is a natural stone screed giving a decorative natural stone feel and look to floors. The binder holds the stone in place as a continuous, seamless stone screed over the install surfaces, giving a highly aesthetic feel and look that is textured yet versatile. The screed is water and chemical resistant, extremely hard and comes in selected colours or tints. A more flexible and UV stable binder is used for outdoor applications.
TYPICAL APPLICATION
For use in commercial and domestic flooring applications where long lasting, water resistant, chemical resistant screed is required with a high degree of decorative appeal. Used in showrooms, offices, kitchens, around pools, shopping areas, floors, and other domestic applications.
ADVANTAGES
• Hard wearing
• Long lasting
• Textured finishing
• Water washable surface
• Easy application
• Superb aesthetic
• High resistance to water and chemicals
• Easy to maintain
• Noncracking
• Variety of colours
WATCH POINTS
- Ensure use of the correct binder for outdoors and for indoors. They are different given the different environments.
- Do not hold a full kit in a bucket during application, rather pour out onto floor and trowel out within the working time of the product.
- Screeds may be textured and exhibit gaps if pores between stones are not compacted and then filled with a pore filler.
- Application on vertical surfaces will be dependent on the skill and manipulation of the product by the individual applicators and at their own risk

Cleaning Thinners
Surface Preparation:
Surfaces to be clean, sound and free of deleterious substances. Remove all laitance, oil, grease, paints, mould oil or curing compound from surfaces using wire brush, bush hammer, scabbler or other plant as appropriate. Uneven surfaces can be levelled out using FEATHER-FLOW SUPER.
Priming:
Prepared surfaces are to be primed with STONE CARPET FLOOR PRIMER. It is recommended that STONE CARPET is cast into the wet setting primer which will assist with even STONE CARPET placement. Use the relevant primer for indoor or outdoor applications.
Application:
Pre-mix the binder hardener into the binder resin to make the binder. Ensure the correct binder is used depending on indoor or outdoor applications. Empty 20Kg aggregate into a clean bucket and mix in the binder. Mix only enough to be able to screed out within the pot life of the binder. Trowel out using steel trowel onto the primed surface. Clean regularly the face of the steel trowel with xylene to prevent STONE CARPET sticking to the trowel and compact the STONE CARPET into place using the face of the trowel. Smooth off and allow to set hard 8-12 hours.
