Welcome to Weber IT’S THE ENERGY-SAVING WAY TO CREATE FOUNDATIONS FOR RENOVATION AND NEW BUILD Leca Insulation Fill is lightweight insulation that cuts foundation time by hours. It is available in 50 litre bags, making insulated foundations which comply with Part L of the Building Regulations a simple, one man process. What is really clever about Leca Insulation Fill in bags is that it is stored in the bag, collected and transported in the bag, laid in the site in the bag and covered in concrete – still in the bag. It will save hours of time, hard labour and cost when creating foundations for extensions, conservatories, garages, driveways and patios. The 50 litre bags weigh just 15kg and are easily portable. There’s no mess, no need for heavy machinery, no heavy lifting and no waste. Step 1 Above: Weber has manufacturing facilities in Flitwick (Bedfordshire), Telford (Shropshire) and Ballyclare (Northern Ireland).
Weber is a leading player in the construction products industry and is a recognised manufacturer and innovator of easy to apply products in the flooring, facades, tile fixing and construction mortars markets. Weber does not sell only products but the complete solutions which includes the services that go with the products; technical support and training. Based on its strong knowledge and experience of the market, the Weber training programmes meet the needs of its customers. Weber provides specifiers, developers and contractors across the board with substantial technical support, both before, during and after contract periods. Weber currently employs over 180 people across Great Britain and Ireland and is a subsidiary of SaintGobain. Established in France in 1665, Saint-Gobain is one of the world’s largest industrial groups, with an annual turnover of €43.8 billion and 209,000 employees. The Group has been operating in the UK and Ireland since 1985 across five sectors; Building Distribution, Packaging, Construction Products, Flat Glass & High Performance Materials.
LECA INSULATION FILL ENABLES YOU TO:
Lay loose material to level base and lay the bags on top
• save time and money preparing floors • eliminate the cost of machinery hire • eliminate the need for secondary polystyrene insulation in ground floor construction
MAXIT GROUP ACQUISITION The Saint-Gobain Group acquired the Maxit Group from Heidelberg Cement in June 2008. The international Maxit Group has been integrated into Saint-Gobain’s Weber organisation which operates in 35 countries. This immediately expanded Weber’s product range by adding specialist levelling and smoothing screeds and lightweight expanded clay aggregate. It also strengthened Weber’s position in external render, wall insulation systems, construction mortars and tile fixing products.

Commercial Screeds
In the fast moving commercial and retail environment, time is money. Floors have to be laid quickly and be available to other trades in the shortest time possible. Weber’s commercial screeds have been designed with this in mind. Developed for optimum speed, these high performance products give a smooth surface that is ready for foot traffic after only a few hours and that can be covered with a soft floor covering in 24 hours.
The range consists of products for use as floating, un-bonded and bonded screeds including insulated, acoustic or heated floors. For a full listing of all products in Weber’s flooring range go to the selection table on pages 14-15.

Industrial Screeds
In the industrial environment, speed, strength and durability are the keys for a successful floor installation. Weber’s comprehensive range of floor products, which are specifically designed for industrial applications, offer exactly this creating stronger, smoother, longer lasting floors with minimal down time. Ideal for factory or warehouse situations, Weber’s industrial screed range has products for every situation. Designed to cope with the high levels of wear and abrasion associated with these demanding situations, these high performance products are truly class
leading. The speed of application is up to ten times faster than traditional screeds and the fast drying/ curing properties allow forklift traffic or resin finishes to be applied within 24 hours. The range consists of standard and high strength base screeds, and hard-wearing and heavy duty top screeds which can be applied as the final finish or painted.

Calcium Sulphate Screeds
Weber’s Alpha range of levelling screeds are some of the most technologically advanced screeds available. Alpha’s advanced formulation means it reacts with water quickly, providing consistent, reliable drying characteristics and considerably faster drying times, enabling following trades to proceed without delay. Fast drying, laitance free and resistant to wetting, Alpha offers many benefits to a traditional anhydrite screed. It can be applied as a levelling screed
directly onto concrete, an unbonded screed, a floating floor over thermal or acoustic insulation or heated floors. The range consists of preparation products, screeds and smoothing compounds which can be installed at over 1000m² per day.
