(54) Screed rail


(57) A screed rail (2) of galvanised steel plate is disclosed, with a web (4) with lateral crankings (6) which in use form groove-and-tongue locking joints at respective sides of the screed rail between adjacent concrete slabs, and an upper vertical edge strip (8) used as support for a vibrator beam by pouring a concrete slab (10), e.g. a floor, between two fixed screed rails (2), the screed rail (2) constituting a permanent formwork side for the concrete slab (10), where the said upper edge strip (8) comprises a bent edge (12) arranged to extend along the floor surface, i.e. so that the edge (12) is covering a possible contraction crack, and that the screed rail (2), at the side facing away from the bent edge (12), is provided with connecting means and/or surface structure arranged to ensure good adherence between the said side of the screed rail (2) and the concrete slab (10). By means of simple measures it is hereby possible to avoid the previously mentioned drawbacks and to achieve some hitherto unknown advantages in use. At the side opposite said the said bent edge, the screed rail is thus designed so that good adherence to the concrete slab is ensured, i.e. so that a possible contraction crack will always appear at the side where the bent edge is situated so that the contraction edge will always be covered by the bent edge.
