TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - This is acceptable for regular residential use and comprises a combination of sand and cement. This mixture comprises a five to one ratio of sand to cement. This five to one ratio standard screed will dry out at a rate of one millimetre per day after applying.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - As the name suggest, this screed dries at a quicker rate and allows you to use the floor area much faster. These are generally a fibre reinforced kind of screed which can dry out at a rate of between 3-7mm/day per day and are used in time-sensitive projects.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - Used to produce the highest quality of finish, especially in SR1 levels of screeding, by a latex and cement compound. This self-levelling compound provides a clean and level surface over a rough substrate or damaged floor to allow all flooring materials to be laid. Even with a depth of one millimetre, the latex polymers within the mixture provide a high strength surface for a wide range of uses.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Made for maximum durability and strength in places where traffic is expected to be high or heavy loading on the floor base is needed.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The first choice where underfloor heating is being installed in domestic homes in Bovey Tracey. The fibres in this screed mix enhance it's durability and strength whilst also safeguarding against thermal cracking and shrinkage. The screed will set hard at a rate of roughly 1mm/day.

Polymer Screeds - When a lower thickness of floor is required because of construction factors, a polymer screed provides an extremely high strength solution to this situation. Maker's guidelines for setting times differ across the various product ranges.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding installers will have to prepare the area before proceeding with any other work in order to guarantee a high quality and hard wearing screed flooring. The existing floor surfaces should be cleaned to eliminate any paint, debris, oil and grease that might affect the bond of the screeding.

If any cleaning products were used in this process it is important to make certain that no residues of detergents, soaps or other cleaning products are left on the surface and it is allowed to dry out naturally. At this point cracks need to be mended because these can travel up through a laid screed and be reflected in the completed surface. During a site survey your Bovey Tracey screeding company will be able to see what preparation work is necessary before starting to work on the actual screeding.

A damp proof membrane (DPM) will be installed after the preparation work has been done to prevent ground moisture affecting the flooring materials and screeding. There may be 2 or 3 layers of varying thicknesses of polythene to act as a barrier between the insulation layer and screed.

An additional airtight barrier might be needed if your house is in an area that is regarded as prone to radon. If radon occurs in severe doses then a complete ventilation system might be needed beneath the screed which will remove any gases that are seeping in from ground level.

The final phase of surface preparation is the spraying or painting of a sealer or primer. A primer assists in the screed to successfully bond to the base surface and different varieties exist according to which screed type is being applied. Equipment such as airless sprays can be used to apply a sealant or primer, which should be done by certified screeding installers in Bovey Tracey following the manufacturer's guidelines.

Before any screed can be laid, any underfloor heating will now be installed. The cables and heating pipes are firmly attached to insulation panels to prevent any movement and make certain they are laid in the correct position. When professionally installed an under floor heating system is an excellent way to warm a room and top quality screed will retain its heat, producing an even level of warmth across the floor surface.

The screeding can now be mixed and prepared on site and applied to the base. The requirements of the room will dictate the kind of screeding used. Be aware that even quick drying screeds have a minimum of twenty four hours before you're able to walk on any screeded surfaces and at least 3 days before any floor coverings can be fitted. Manufacturer's drying guidelines for heavy duty and standard screeds should be followed in order to achieve a quality finish and provide a stable and long lasting floor surface.

You can check the SR level of the completed screed once it is solidified enough for walking on. Through the use of a 2 mtr straight-edge the surface is checked for any ridges, deviations and dips in the screed surface.

• SR1 - SR1 is the best standard and permits just 3mm of disparity from the straight-edge.

• SR2 - SR2 is the classification for standard floors in industrial and commercial projects and can deviate from the straight-edge by up to 5mm.

• SR3 - If the deviation around the whole space is 10 millimetres or less the quality of the screeding is classified as SR3 and is fine for utility and garage areas.

There might also be a requirement for a structural engineer to carry out a soundness test. Using specialised equipment the structural engineer will verify the screeded surface strength and suitability of use in a load bearing environment. This can include what's known as a "drop hammer test" which records specific data on the strength and flexibility of the screed. Any screed flooring that has point load requirements must be approved by a trained structural engineer applying the British Standards BS8204 guidelines.
