TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - A mixture of sand and cement which is acceptable for standard domestic use. This mixture comprises a five to one ratio of sand to cement. Once its been laid this 5:1 ratio dries at a rate of 1mm per day.

Polymer Screeds - A high strength flooring solution where a reduced screed thickness is necessary. The curing times vary in accordance with product guidelines.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - A latex and cement solution which can achieve the highest standard of finish to SR1 levels. It is largely used to produce a clean, smooth floor over the top of a damaged or poor quality substrate and enables all types of flooring materials to be used. Even with a depth of 1mm, the latex polymers within the mixture provide a high strength screed for a variety of uses.

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - If there's a need to progress urgently with the work due to time limitations, this screed dries much quicker than standard flooring screeds. The majority of the fast drying screeds are of the fibre reinforced kind and are suitable for a wide variety of projects where the quicker curing rate of three to seven millimetres is a big advantage.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - Used mostly with under floor heating systems and is the recommended option in such projects. This is due to the improved strength and protection against thermal shrinkage and cracking provided by the fibres within the screed mix. The screed will dry out at a rate of 1mm/day.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Where traffic levels are high or heavy loading on the floor is needed, heavy duty screeds allow for maximum strength and durability.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To make certain the screeding is of a good quality finish that is hard wearing and durable, time must be devoted to carefully preparing the area before any screeding material is laid. Any grease, debris, paint and oil on the existing floor level can adversely affect the adhesion of the screed, and should be removed.

Any cleaning products used in this stage should leave no residues, and the floor base must be allowed to dry by itself naturally. At this point cracks should be repaired since these can travel up through a laid screed and be visible in the finished surface. During a site survey the screeding company will notice what preparations are needed before starting to work on screeding the floor.

Before the screeding can be poured a damp proof membrane (DPM) will have to be installed to protect the screed and final flooring from moisture damage. The DPM is made out of thick polythene and various layers could be used to act as a moisture barrier and air insulating layer for the screed.

If your home is situated in an area where radon is present an extra barrier layer is necessary to prevent radon gas from entering. If radon occurs in large amounts then a full ventilation system might be needed underneath the layer of screed which will extract any gases that might seep in from ground level.

Once the base has been prepared and all membranes installed, a primer or sealant is then put on. A primer helps with the screed bonding process to the base and different types exist depending on which screed type is being used. Equipment such as airless sprays can be used to apply a primer or sealant, by professional screeding companies in Porthcawl sticking to the manufacturer's guidelines and safety advice.

Before the screeding can be laid, any underfloor heating (if required) will now be installed. Insulation panels can be laid out and the heating pipes and cabling will be firmly attached so there's no movement while the screed is being poured. Under floor heating is one of the most effective ways to heat a room and a skillfully installed system will give an even warmth all over the floor.

The screed can now be prepared in situ and poured onto the base. Your use of the room will assist your screeding contractor on which form of screed is perfect for your needs. For quick drying and advanced screeds there will be at least 24 hours delay before it can be walked on, and a further 3 days minimum before any flooring material can be applied. If you are using heavy duty or standard screeds the curing time is longer and the manufacturer's guidelines must be followed so as to get the best possible finish for your floor.

The SR standard of your screed can be verified once it's set enough to be stepped onto. The test involves the use of a 2 mtr long straight-edge laid on the floor surface and any fluctuations from true are calculated.

• SR1 - Disparities of 3mm or less being measured over the whole floor area shows your screed to be of the finest quality and is categorised as SR1.

• SR2 - If the screeded floor deviates from the straight edge by 5 millimetres or less it is classified as SR2 level and is the normal standard for industrial and commercial projects.

• SR3 - If the deviation is ten millimetres or less the screeding quality is categorised as SR3 and is the standard required for utility and garage areas.

If you need to check the floor for load bearing, a structural engineer is necessary to carry out the testing. Using specialised equipment the engineer will ascertain the screeded surface strength and its suitability for use in a load bearing environment. A "drop hammer test" will be conducted on different areas of the screed and the outcomes noted. Only qualified structural engineers respecting the BS8204 regulations are permitted to carry out these tests and sign off on the structural safety of the screeding.
