HI I will like to know more on screed on roof which is usually set to 50mm. thick. I have witnessed personally how after a few days all of the screed has cracked, worst, broken in pieces through most likely the effect of direct sunlight. It could also have been cause with total lack of curing or a wrong mix/bag quality product, really I don't know the exact cause. I will like to know whether the use of chicken wire is a viable solution to this and whether there is more in term of recommendation, thickness, composition, mix, procedure to make sure that the screed of roof does exactly what it is intended for and also can be use for draining away rainwater from the roof. Thanks.
