Metex Dapple Bar 2000mm – for Liquid Screed and Concrete – Fully Welded Aluminium Construction – Twin Cranked Handles – Powdercoated Finish

Product Information

This dappling bar features an ultra-thin 15mm bottom bar to allow you to dapple even the thinnest of screeds.

Self-levelling concrete is typically used to create a flat, smooth surface with a compressive capability which is similar to or greater than that of traditional concrete. x 3 metre bar with a separate handle section. The installation and removal of handle section is via two ultra-robust stainless steel thumb screws allowing easy van transport and storage.

Problems

Both of these dappling bars are manufactured to the highest standards using high quality mild steel which is then fully powder coated for easy cleaning and a longer (corrosion free) life. Leave this tripod in position and place additional tripods throughout the area to be screeded. We recommend a spacing of 1500mm between tripods. With growing demand for flatter and smoother floors (often driven by flooring sector as floor coverings become thinner and floor tiles larger) quite understandably self-levelling concrete has become popular, as the degree of flatness and smoothness required from floors has increased. There is a fully welded 900mm bar with a single cranked handle and a fully welded 2metre double cranked handle dapple bar. Metex liquid screed dapple bars are manufactured from light weight aluminium and then fully powder-coated. They range in size from 900mm to 3000mm. We also supply fully powder coated mild steel dapple bars for flowing concrete. Dapple bars help screeders & groundworkers release air bubbles and achieve a smooth finish when laying free-flowing self-levelling liquid screeds, and also lightly break the surface tension for a more durable, accurate and consistent finish when laying self-compacting concrete. Ideal for use with Topflow, Belitex, Cemfloor, Agilia, Breedonflow Form, Cemflow, Highflow and many more. Screed Tripods

This dappling bar set features two high quality, lightweight, fully powder coated aluminium dapple bars for working flowing screed.This product is also known as a “ Concrete Dapple Bar“. Liquid Screed Dapple Bars and Dapple Bar Sets Aluminium Dapple Bar Set – 2 Bars Both the 900mm and the 2 metre Liquid Screed Aluminium Dapple Bars are also available individually. 2 metre Thin Screed Aluminium Dapple Bar Tripods: Get it right, get it level – Your floor will need to be accurately levelled and for that you will need to use levelling tripods. Ideally you should look for a stainless-steel finish for long life and easy cleaning. Metex are well known for producing high quality, long lasting tools for the sector. We work with some of most respected material suppliers and installers of flowing concrete and liquid screed in the UK. Dapple Bars

If your final drain length is 15 feet and you are going to slope the line at the minimum 1/4-inch per foot, the drain has to slope a total of 3 3/4 inches from the start of the pipe to the end. To determine the slope, multiply the slope by the length of the line, in this case, 1/4 by 15. But if your drain route requires a bend or turn, you have to calculate the slope of each piece of pipe separately. If you have to route a longer drain pipe without a lot of space, you may opt for a deeper slope up to the maximum of three inches per foot. For example, if you want to route that same 15-foot drain pipe at a slope of three inches per foot, the drain has to slope a total of 45 inches from start to finish. To determine the total slope, you will multiply three by 15. Get the right size – you will need these to get the correct finish for your floor. You need to select the right size dapple bar for the job too short and you’ll be there twice as long – too long and it will be awkward to use and won’t fit into tight areas and through doorways.For liquid screed go for the lighter weight aluminium dappling bars as calcium sulphate screeds are less dense and easier to dapple – but again look for powder coated finish for easier cleaning and a longer life. Made of the right stuff – for dealing with flowing concrete a steel dapple bar is heavier and more suited to a dense product and is generally more robust. Ideally it will be powder coated for longer life and easier cleaning.
