Floor screeds flooring screed floor levelling screed self single coat render Duro® acoustic installation.

In Spring 2004, the Optiroc 'brand' was changed to that of our European-based parent organization maxit.
This rebranding has been undertaken to reflect a closer integration with the 45 companies that make up the maxit Group in over 30 countries throughout Europe.
It will enable us to develop our existing portfolio of market-leading products through the introduction into the UK of a yet broader range of products that have been proven throughout Europe, under a consistent identity.
The maxit Group manufactures mineral-based materials for both buildings and other civil engineering projects through operations concentrated in Europe and in China. Specialising in the production of expanded clay aggregates, blocks and all types of wall renders, plasters and floor screeds, it is part of one of Europe's largest building materials companies.
In the UK, maxit leads the field in quality, technical ability and service in two main product areas: Lightweight Aggregate (LWA) and Premix products.
maxit LWA is expanded clay aggregate that has a broad variety of applications, from blockmaking, insulation and concrete production to geotechnical, water filtration and horticultural uses.
maxit's Premix range leads the world in the production of pumpable cementitious self-levelling floor screeds and high-quality wall renders.
Such global success has been won through over a century of experience, intensive research and a strong understanding of what our customers require.

Premix maxit's Premix range leads the world in the production of pumpable cementitious self-levelling floor screeds — with tens of millions of square metres laid to date — and render solutions for new build and renovations.
Single Coat Renders
maxit renders have been used throughout Europe for over 25 years. Incorporating single coat hand and machine applied products, and multi-layer insulated systems, the maxit range has a render solution for almost any requirement.
Self-levelling Floor Screeds
With 30 years experience and more than 100 million square metres applied worldwide, maxit leads the world in the production of pumpable self-levelling floor screeds.
GIVING YOU THE ANSWERS
With the advent of pumped, self-levelling floor screeds, the world of commercial and retail flooring was changed forever. maxit was in the vanguard of this revolution, creating products that have brought the flooring industry up from its knees, offering the ability to create superb, high-performance seamless floors at speeds that were previously unachievable and with a quality and longevity that have become renowned throughout Europe. With 30 years experience and more than 100 million square metres applied worldwide, maxit leads the world in the production of pumpable self-levelling floor screeds. These systems allow you to achieve the flattest, smoothest and thinnest floors possible, that will perform to exacting standards, often in highly testing environments. And they will minimise installation and drying time enabling you to cut time and costs on site.
COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS FOR COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL ENVIRONMENTS
In fast moving commercial and retail environments, time is money. Floors need to be laid quickly and, more importantly, they need to be walkable for following trades in the shortest time possible. They need to be quick drying so that soft coverings can be applied without delay and must be smooth and level. maxit ABS commercial screeds provide a fast track solution to a high-performance, flat surface ready for direct application of vinyls and carpets, minimising down time and optimising the floor-to-ceiling height. They have been developed for optimum speed, allowing foot traffic within as little as just a few hours and can be ready to receive final floor covering in as little as 24 hours. There are products for use in insulated, acoustic or heated floors and a range of thicker floating and bonded screeds suitable for any floor levelling requirement.
HIGH PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS FOR HEAVY INDUSTRY
For heavier industrial environments, the ABS Industrial Duro. System offers efficient installation of smooth, hard-wearing, non-dusting, seamless flat floors with minimal down time. The system consists of standard and extra strength base screeds, and hard-wearing and extra-heavy-duty top screeds which can be applied as the final finish or painted. ABS Industrial Floors are ideal for factory and warehouse situations with high demands for wear and abrasion resistance. Where maximum flatness and repeated wheel movement resistance are both vital, as in high bay racking systems, ABS can achieve the flatness ratings TR34 category 1 and 2. Speed of application is up to ten times faster than that of traditional screeds, and fast drying and curing properties allow forklift traffic or resin finishes to be applied within 24 hours.
FAST TRACK SOLUTIONS FOR LIGHT INDUSTRY
In the industrial environment, speed, strength and durability compete for the keys to a successful floor. For light industrial needs, the ABS range provides both self-coloured top screeds, which act as a finished floor or can be sealed, and a rapid-drying base screed which can receive resin finishes within 24 hours.
VERSATILE SOLUTIONS FOR RENOVATION
maxit pioneered the development of pumpable fibre-reinforced floor screeds that enable application on to a variety of substrates including existing damaged sand and cement screeds, concrete, wooden floorboards, old vinyls, terrazzo and ceramics. Because they can be applied as thin as 10mm, they will not significantly reduce floor-to-ceiling height and can be used where conventional screeds would be too heavy.
SOUND SOLUTIONS FOR ACOUSTIC INSULATION
By combining selected slim ABS floor screeds with sound insulation materials, maxit has created a complete dB flooring system suited to change-of-use renovation projects. maxit dB flooring systems enable you to meet the new requirements of the amended Part E of the Building Regulations without significantly affecting floor-to-ceiling height.
HAND-APPLIED SOLUTIONS FOR SMOOTHING AND LEVELLING
For those smaller areas or when you have the need for filling large deformities, building slopes or for building very thick layers, the ABS range also includes a number of fast setting hand-applied smoothing and levelling compounds. Versatile and easy-to-apply, the range includes products suitable for application to new and old concrete, woods, floorboards and old vinyls.
SPECIALIST SOLUTIONS FOR MARINE APPLICATIONS
Refurbishing a ship or oil rig has to be carried out in the shortest possible time, but laying screed by hand is slow and can delay other trades. maxit ABS 600 Marine Elastic pumpable floor screed is a uniquely flexible, durable pumped creed system for steel decking which can be installed at over 1000m² per day, is ready for foot traffic in 1-2 hours and for soft floor coverings in 24 hours, minimising down time.
