Concrete Screed Support Systems for Vapor Barrier Slabs

MADE in the USA

Fast setup. Accurate and repeatable elevation. Compatible with hand or laser setups. Designed for contractors who need speed without sacrificing flatness.

The MAKO Vapor Barrier Structural System is designed to provide stable elevation control when concrete slabs are poured over vapor barriers, poly sheeting, insulation, or other non-penetrating substrates. Works with all brands of vapor barrier including Stego, Viper and all others.

The Heart of Precision Elevation Control

HOW TO USE:

Draw string line to finished elevation.
Insert mounting structure into screed chair.
Drive until marker aligns with string line.
Move to next chair.

Repeatable. Accurate. Fast. Eliminates elevation guesswork.
Ensures consistent screed support height every time.

 

Its patented internal "fins" in each MAKO screed chair hug the mounting structure so the chair will not bounce off rebar or rod during concrete placement.

Using MAKO Screed chairs with the FinStand®, CoilStand®, and Base Plate assemblies, contractors can create fully adjustable support systems that sit securely on the vapor barrier while supporting screed rails, lumber screeds, anchor bolts, embeds, threaded rods, and other structural elements. The Base Plate distributes load across the surface, preventing punctures while maintaining precise elevation control during concrete placement.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Packaging: 100 pieces per bag - Approximately 3,000 sq ft coverage per bag

Spacing: Typically every 3-4 feet (1 meter) depending on screed weight, pour span and subgrade. Always test conditions prior to placement.

Mounting Structure Compatibility: 1/2" 13 thread for the FinStand, 1/2" x 6 thread for the CoilStand

Material: Impact-resistant medical grade polypropylene

Minimum Slab Thickness: Varies by chair and mounting structure

Country of Origin: Made in USA

Best For:

Slab-on-Grade, Elevated slabs, Metal deck pours, Wood deck pours, Concrete overlays, Vapor barrier slabs, Drains, Rail Critical, High FF/FL Floors, Tennis Courts, Gymnasiums, Swimming Pools, Waterways, Performance concrete, Pan Decks, Sloped slabs, Tunnels, Super Thick Floors, Manufacturing plant slabs, Embankments, Bridge decks and infrastructure projects, Super flat floors requiring FF/FL compliance and more.
