Notes on fire resistance


The specifications marked with offer additional application options, which are not directly included in the Certificate of Usability. On the basis of our
technical assessments, we assume that these marked design solutions can be assessed as a non-significant divergence. We can make the documentation on
which this assessment is based, such as surveyors' reports or technical assessments, available to you together with the Certificate of Usability on request. We
recommend that a non-significant divergence be coordinated and authorised in advance in consultation between the persons responsible for fire resistance
and/or the relevant authorities.
The stated constructional and structural properties, and characteristic building physics of Knauf systems can solely be ensured with the exclusive use of Knauf
system components, or other products expressly recommended by Knauf. The validity and up-to-datedness of the stated proofs have to be considered.

Introduction
System overview

Pre-fab floor screed elements for drywall based screed systems


Brio consists of homogenous gypsum fibre elements with milled rebates. Brio elements are 18 or 23 mm thick gypsum fibre boards in a format of 0.6 m x 1.2 m
with milled 35 mm wide rebate. The elements are adhesively bonded in the notch area using two beads of Brio Joint Adhesive and then screwed or stapled
together. Suitable for underfloor heating.
Brio composite elements, thickness 18 mm, laminated with 10 mm wood fibre footfall sound insulation layer or with 10 mm mineral wool (total thickness
28 mm) / 20 mm polystyrene thermal insulation layer (total thickness 38 mm) or Brio elements, thickness 23 mm, laminated with 10 mm wood fibre footfall
sound insulation layer (total thickness 33 mm).

F126.de Pre-fab floor screed on a separating layer / equalization layer


Pre-fab floor screed is separated from the substrate on Schrenzlage
synthetic coated kraft paper or an applied stable equalization layer to
compensate for unevenness under the pre-fab floor screed.

F127.de Pre-fab floor screed on an insulation layer


Pre-fab floor screed on a separate insulation layer, as a composite element
(Knauf Brio WF/EPS) or on light levelling mortar, to achieve fire protection,
sound insulation, thermal insulation or a height equalization.

F128B.de Pre-fab floor screed as heating floor screed type B


Pre-fab floor screed on underfloor heating with heating tubes underneath the

measures.
■■ Drywall partitions with a load per unit length of more than the value of the
point load of the Brio + 2.0 kN can be installed after an increase in the
load capacity of the pre-fab floor screed.
■■ With loads greater than the previously stated expected loads of partitions
or cantilever loads, the Brio supporting layer thicknesses must be
increased and/or foundations with a higher load capacity must be installed.
■■ It is beneficial to install the partitions directly on the basic floor due to the
better sound insulation and stability of the construction.
■■ It is recommended that partitions are not installed on pre-fab floor screed
with underfloor heating due to temperature-based expansion.
■■ Refer to the System Data Sheets of the individual Knauf partition systems

Heating floor screed


Brio elements can be applied on underfloor heating. The installation of movement joints is recommended in doorways and when edge lengths exceed about
20 m. The flow temperature may not exceed 55 °C. Use of electrical underfloor heating or electrical temperature control of tiles is only suitable under certain
conditions. A heat build up (e.g. under wardrobes, carpets) must be excluded. The screed element may not exceed a temperature of 45 °C at any point.
For laying a thin-layer heated screed on pre-fab floor screed, refer to System Data Sheet FE22.de.

Protect the screed surface against building site traffic. It is highly advisable to apply the screed when all other work has been completed.
Note
For laying instructions refer to the Application Instructions F12LD.de

Installation and application
Surface treatment and floor covering

Surface treatment and floor covering


Board joints
Fill the board joints with Uniflott if necessary. With fire protection from above,
always fill the joints and screw heads and staples with Uniflott.
Repairs
Smaller holes and damage should be sealed with Uniflott. Larger holes
and damage in pre-fab floor screed can be repaired with Knauf Stretto. The
screed surfaces must be primed with FE-Imprägnierung impregnation agent
for this purpose. Stretto is subsequently applied wet on wet.
Protection against moisture in wet rooms
On surfaces where water is expected in domestic bathrooms and kitchens,
apply full surface sealant with Knauf Flächendichtband sealing tape.
Resistance to castors of chairs
Pre-fab floor screed Brio and Vidiwall 1Mann are resistant to castors of
chairs without additional measures.
Priming
Before laying the floor covering and before full surface levelling, Brio and/
or Vidiwall 1Mann must be primed with Knauf Estrichgrund screed primer
(diluted 1:1 with water) or Knauf Schnellgrund primer (undiluted). When
applying parquet, apply a preliminary layer of system compliant adhesive.
Elastic thin-layer floor coverings
With elastic thin-layer floor coverings (e.g. PVC, Linoleum), Knauf Pre-Fab
Floor Screed must have a full surface application of at least a 2 mm thick
layer of N 410 applied. Fill the board joints beforehand with Uniflott and
subsequently prime with a full surface application of Knauf Estrichgrund
screed primer (1:1) or Knauf Schnellgrund primer (undiluted).
Prefabricated parquet or mosaic parquet
Multi-layer prefabricated parquet or mosaic parquet (chequered design) are
suitable with full surface adhesive application on pre-fab floor screed. After
consultation with Knauf or the adhesive manufacturer, e.g. Uzin Utz AG in
Germany (Tel. +49 (0)731 / 40 97-0; www.uzin.de), other types of parquet
can be laid.
On a separating layer or with bracket mounting other types of parquet can
always be used.
Should Knauf Pre-Fab Floor Screed be levelled with N 410 before the
parquet is laid, proceed as described in “Elastic thin-layer floor coverings”.
Ceramic tiles and natural stone
Use flexible adhesive systems. The processing requirements of the adhesive
manufacturer for the tile size used, particularly the stated minimum thickness
of the adhesive bed, must be observed, if necessary, install fabric or fleece.
Lay stoneware and natural stone using the buttering-floating method, and
push the tile with side motion into the adhesive bed while pressing it in. Lay
floor tiles with a format of max. 33 cm edge length using the thin bed method.
Large format floor tiles and natural stone can be laid on Knauf Pre-Fab Floor
Screed up to 120 cm edge length. For more details see the load tables on
pages 9 to 15.
