Why does it work? Stopgap SRS

Stopgap SRS surface reinforcement system is designed to rapidly stabilise and reinforce weak or poorly compacted screeds, providing a quick, simple, and cost-effective solution.

Where it’s needed
Stopgap SRS is designed to stabilise and reinforce poor and weak sand/cement or calcium sulphate screeds, including those containing hot water heating pipes.

Why it’s needed
The alternative to using Stopgap SRS is to dig up and replace the screed, which would be both costly and time-consuming, especially if it contains underfloor heating.

What exactly is Stopgap SRS?
It’s a solvent-free, low viscosity, two component epoxy resin reinforcement material, formulated to quickly penetrate the screed.

What does it do?
The product readily fills voids and cracks and binds loose particles, which have resulted from poor installation and curing techniques of screeds.

How much Stopgap SRS do you need to apply?
The amount of Stopgap SRS required for an application is self-regulating; the product should be applied in multiple coats until it is no longer being absorbed by the screed.

How quickly does it work?
Stopgap SRS has a fast setting time, which means that screeds can be reinstated overnight, thereby minimising any disruption.
