TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - A blend of sand and cement which is ideal for normal residential usage. The standard screed is a mix of 5 parts sand to 1 of cement. The standard flooring screed dries at a rate of 1mm thickness each day.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - When a high standard of finish is required this mix of of latex and cement is employed to produce SR1 level floor screeding. This is primarily used to produce a high quality floor over the top of a poor quality or damaged substrate and results in a surface finish onto which all types of flooring materials can be laid. Even with a depth of 1mm, the latex polymers within the screed provide a high strength surface for a variety of uses.

Screeding Quotes Faversham Kent

Polymer Screeds - A high strength flooring solution where a reduced screed thickness is essential. The curing times vary as outlined by proprietary product guidelines.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Where levels of traffic are high or heavy loading of the floor is required, heavy duty screeds provide maximum durability and strength.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The favoured choice by professional installers for use in combination with underfloor heating systems. The fibres in this screed enhance overall strength and durability while also protecting against thermal cracking and shrinkage. It has a drying rate of one millimetre per day.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If there's a need to press ahead urgently with the work on account of time restraints, this screed dries more speedily than standard screeds. They're usually a fibre reinforced type of screed that dries out at a rate of between 3-7mm per day and are employed in time critical flooring projects.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To enable the screeding to be of a good quality finish that is durable and hard wearing, time should be devoted to carefully preparing the area before any screeding material is poured. The existing floor surfaces should be cleaned to eliminate any debris, grease, oil and paint which might adversely affect the bond of the screed.

Screeding Near Faversham (ME13)

If any cleaning products are used in this process it's important to ensure that no residues of soaps or detergents are left on the floor surface and it is permitted to dry out naturally. At this stage cracks should be repaired as these can travel up through your newly laid screed and be visible in the finished surface. A professional Faversham screeding specialist will pick up on such aspects during the on-site survey and make certain that all preparations are complete before pressing on with the next steps in the screeding process.

Before the screeding can be laid a DPM (damp proof membrane) must be put down to protect the screed and final flooring from dampness. There might be 2 or 3 layers of varying thicknesses of polythene to act as barriers between the insulation layer and screed.

If your home is located in a place where radon is present a supplementary barrier layer is needed to prevent radon gas from getting through. An airtight membrane may be suitable in areas with low levels of radon, but in more extreme situations there might need to be a more complex ventilation and extraction system to remove any ground penetrating radon gases.

The final phase of surface preparation is the spraying or painting of a sealant or primer. These sealers and primers will make sure the screed bonds successfully to the base surface and help accomplish a top quality finished floor. Devices such as airless sprays can be used to apply a sealant or primer, which should be done by certified screeding installers in Faversham observing the manufacturer's guidelines and safety advice.

Now is the time that under floor heating can be installed and laid out in the correct manner. The underfloor heating system is laid out in the correct pattern and attached firmly to insulation panels to avoid potential movement in the course of the screed application. Underfloor heating is one of the most efficient ways to heat a room and a properly installed system will provide even warmth in all areas of the floor.

If you're not fitting underfloor heating the screed can now be prepared in situ and poured. The particular requirements of the room will determine the form of screeding that's used. Be aware that even quick drying and advanced screeds have a minimum of twenty four hours before you are able to walk over any screeded surfaces and at least 3 days before any flooring materials can be fitted. Manufacturer's drying guidelines for standard and heavy duty screeds should be followed in order to achieve a quality finish and end up with a stable and long lasting floor surface.

The SR level of your screeding can be verified once it's set enough to be walked upon. The test involves using a 2 mtr long straight-edge laid down upon the floor surface and any deviations from true are measured.

  • SR1 - SR1 is the best quality and allows just three millimetres of disparity from the straight-edge.
  • SR2 - The normal standard flooring in commercial and industrial builds is classed as SR2 and has a maximum deviation of 5mm across the entire screeded surface.
  • SR3 - For a utility area or room where the finish is relatively immaterial SR3 is the classification and has a maximum deviation measurement of 10 millimetres or less.

It might also be necessary for a structural engineer to carry out a soundness test. The assessment will ensure your newly laid screed surface is suitable for the load point requirements set down in the original site survey. The screeding will be given what is known as a "drop hammer test" to assess strength and flexibility in different areas. Any screed flooring that's got load bearing requirements must be approved by a competent structural engineer heeding the BS8204 regulations.
