Located on the scenic Blouberg beachfront in Cape Town, the Dolphin Beach Hotel is a sought-after destination that offers breathtaking views of Table Mountain and direct access to the Atlantic Ocean. As part of a structural upgrade and refurbishment, Liteconcrete was proud to partner with Ciolli Readymix to deliver more than 100 cubic meters of lightweight concrete screeds for this high-profile project.
Traditional screeds would have added significant dead load to the existing structure, which posed a concern for both safety and longevity. Liteconcrete’s innovative lightweight screed solution was specified precisely because it is up to four times lighter than conventional materials. This made it the ideal product to maintain structural integrity while improving performance across several key metrics.
The Liteconcrete screeds were not only light in weight but also exceptionally efficient to install. Using pump-assisted placement methods, the entire floor area was completed in under four hours, allowing other trades to continue with minimal delay. This speed, combined with reduced transport and labour demands, made Liteconcrete a smart, cost-effective choice.
Beyond structural benefits, our lightweight screeds also offer enhanced thermal insulation and acoustic dampening, ideal for a hotel setting where guest comfort is a top priority. With reduced energy costs and improved soundproofing, the Dolphin Beach Hotel now enjoys long-term performance advantages.
For projects that require dead load reduction, faster installation times, and sustainable materials, Liteconcrete remains the industry’s preferred solution. Whether it's a luxury hotel or a multi-storey commercial site, our lightweight concrete screeds are designed to meet modern construction demands with excellence.
