When to Use TAL Superscreed SL
TAL Superscreed SL is a commercial-grade self-levelling and smoothing underlayment compound for preparing concrete and screeded substrates before installing floor coverings. It is suitable for both residential and commercial installations and offers a longer pot life than TAL Screedmaster, making it well suited to larger or more complex pours. TAL Floor Primer is required for all applications — available separately on FlooringStore.co.za.
TAL Superscreed SL is an underlayment product only — it must be covered with a durable floor covering once cured. It is not suitable for external or exposed areas and is not a decorative or overlayment finish. For overlayment or decorative screed applications use TAL Superflow or TAL Stoneflow.
When mixed with TAL Screedbinder as a total water replacement, TAL Superscreed SL provides an excellent protective barrier over underfloor heating elements. Note that TAL Screedbinder may affect flow characteristics — increase mix ratio to 5.5L when using Screedbinder.
Pack Contents & Coverage
- Pack size: 20kg bag
- Mixing water: Exactly 5 litres per bag — do not exceed (5.5L when using TAL Screedbinder)
- Coverage rate: 1.8 kg/m² per 1mm thickness
- Approximate yield: 4.6m² at 3mm per 20kg bag
- Application thickness: Featheredge minimum — 12mm maximum (single application)
Actual coverage will vary depending on substrate profile, flatness, and site conditions.
Application Summary
Application must be carried out by experienced and competent artisans. This is a skilled operation — application by unskilled labour is not recommended.
- Substrate: Concrete or screeded surfaces. Must be clean, dry, sound, and free from contamination. Minimum compressive strength 25 MPa.
- Moisture: Substrate must be at or below 5% moisture content (75% RH) before application. Apply TAL VaporStop HB if moisture levels are not attained.
- Priming rough/porous surfaces: 2 coats TAL Floor Primer applied in cross directions. Allow 12 hours to cure before proceeding.
- Priming smooth/dense surfaces: TAL Floorkey + TAL Rapidfix slurry coat first, then TAL Floor Primer. Allow 12 hours to cure before proceeding.
- Mixing: Add 20kg to exactly 5 litres of clean water (15–25°C). Mix with a mechanical drill — minimum 1.8kW with paddle attachment — for 5 minutes. Allow to stand 3 minutes then re-stir. Do not mix by hand. Use full bags only. Never retemper a mix that has been standing too long.
- Pot life: 1 hour 15 minutes. Working time after mixing: 20–30 minutes.
- Pouring: Pour and spread with a TAL Adjustable Floor Spreader or TAL Notched Floor Rake to required thickness. Roll with a TAL Spiked Roller while wearing TAL Spiked Shoes to release trapped air.
- Temperature: Ambient and slab temperature must be between 10°C and 30°C throughout installation and curing. Optimum is 20°C.
- Protection: Protect from direct sunlight, wind, and rapid drying for the first 48 hours. Do not use air conditioning during curing.
Always refer to the full TAL Superscreed SL Method Statement before commencing installation.
