Question 6

Question
Ready-mixed screeds are:
Answer
  • prepared off site and delivered as required
  • prepared after work for the following day
  • prepared in the morning for use during the day
  • used only for self-levelling floors

Question 7

Question
Screed rails or battens are used to:
Answer
  • help delivery of screed material to the workstation
  • assist in forming the main area of floor
  • tamp down the surface of the screed
  • form channels for drainage

Question 8

Question
The purpose of a damp proof membrane is to:
Answer
  • assist the passage of moisture
  • assist in the curing process
  • allow the screed to dry out quickly
  • prevent the passage of moisture

Question 9

Question
Cracking of large area floors may be reduced by:
Answer
  • use of more cement
  • use of expansion strips
  • adding more sand
  • a self-levelling compound

Question 10

Question
Battens used as a guide for screeds may be:
Answer
  • set out from datum lines
  • laid at 50 mm depth
  • set out from base floor
  • laid to form 75 mm depth

Question 11

Question
The most accurate proportioning of floor screeding materials:
Answer
  • is by weight
  • is important near heavily trafficked areas
  • can be carried out using shovels
  • can be carried out using buckets

Question 12

  • slower set screed

Question 15

Question
Compacting can be carried out with a:
Answer
  • screed rail
  • datum
  • rule or float
  • level

Question 16

Question
High volumes of ventilation:
Answer
  • will aid the setting process
  • will not affect the screeds after laying
  • will allow the cement to harden quickly

Question 17

Question
The finish on a floor screed:
Answer
  • is not important as it will all be covered up
  • is important as it may show through the final covering
  • can be completed the next day
  • can be completed by the floor layer with the finish

Question 18

Question
Laying polythene sheet on the floor screed after laying will:
Answer
  • act as an accelerator to the set
  • produce an even surface
  • allow the cement to set naturally
  • keep the floor soft for the next process

Question 19

Question
The purpose of curing is to:
Answer
  • allow the cement to set and harden over a long period
  • produce an even surface
  • produce a lightweight screed
  • aid compaction to take place

Question 20

Question
Where drainage outlets are fitted:
