The correct mixture of screed and the techniques used in laying it are also critical to ensure the final quality of your floor surface.

Before picking out a floor screeding specialist from any based in the Brigg area, ask to what standard of finish they are basing their estimate, and also make sure you get two or three quotes. The SR (Surface Regularity) finish is the figure to look for when studying a quotation from Brigg floor screeding companies. SR2 and SR3 will be more affordable options, however the floor screeding finish could have deviations and errors, whilst SR1 guarantees a pretty much perfect finish. Any errors in the final screeding may cause problems in laying flooring due to indentations, ridges, flat spots in the surface.

The regulations specified in the British Standards BS8204 must be followed by all Brigg floor screeding companies and they must also be accredited by the manufacturers of any specialist screeding materials (Gypsol, Cemfloor, Flowcrete etc.) to substantiate their competence and safe working practices. The assessment and training of a floor screeding contractor by such manufacturers is emphasised by the use of this accreditation scheme, and offers assurances of safe working practices and reliability on any flooring project which involves their materials.

Brigg commercial screeders might be involved in screeding floors in warehouses, hospitals, shops, schools, factories and boutiques.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - This is okay for standard residential use and comprises a blend of sand and cement. The ratios involved are 5 parts sand to 1 part cement. The standard screed will dry at a rate of 1mm thickness each day.

Polymer Screeds - An extremely high strength solution where a reduced thickness is necessary. Polymer screeds are made by a number of manufacturers and on account of their varying chemical compositions have distinct curing times for each product.

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

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The professional's choice for residential use over the top of under floor heating. The special fibres in the screed mix improve it's durability and strength while also safeguarding against thermal cracking and shrinkage. It dries at the same rate as a standard screed, at about 1mm per day.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - When the highest possible standard of finish is needed this mixture of latex and cement is employed to create SR1 level floor screeding. Primarily used to finalise a poor substrate level or damaged floor so as to lay a brand new flooring surface, such as tiling over it. This liquid screed can be laid to a depth of only one millimetre, but will still provide a high strength surface to take a varied selection of flooring finishes.

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - As the name suggest, these screeds dry at a quicker rate and allow you to use the screeded area much faster. They are normally a fibre reinforced type of screed which can dry out at a rate of between three and seven millimetres per day and are employed in time-sensitive flooring projects.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding installers will need to fully prepare the area before any other work so as to guarantee a hard wearing and quality screed flooring. The original floor surfaces should be cleaned to remove any paint, oil, debris and grease which can affect the adhesion of the screeding.

Screeding Near Brigg (DN20)

Any cleansing products which are used in this phase should leave no residues, and the floor surface must be allowed to dry out naturally. It's necessary to fix any crevices or cracks in the base to prevent them being visible and "travelling" up into your freshly screeded floor. An on-site survey will allow your Brigg screeding installer to take note of this preparation work and finish it before commencing to pour the screeding.

To protect the screeding layer and flooring materials from moisture rising up from the ground, a DPM (damp proof membrane) must be installed. Different gauges of special polythene may be used as a DPM and also serve as a barrier for the screed and any insulation materials.

If your property is located in a place where radon gas is found an additional barrier layer is essential to stop radon gas from getting through. This could be as simple as an air-tight membrane, or in more serious cases a ventilation system is installed underneath the screed to extract any influx of air and gas from ground level.

As soon as the base has been prepared and any DPMs installed, a sealant or primer is then put on. Sealers and primers help the bonding process and are specialist applications according to the kind of screed being applied. These substances require trained technicians to apply them in the correct proportions by using custom-made equipment, such as airless sprays.

Under floor heating can now be laid out, installed and tested before the screed is applied. The under floor heating system will be carefully positioned and firmly attached to insulation panels to avoid any movement during screed pouring process. When skillfully installed an underfloor heating system is an effective way to warm a room and high quality screeding will retain its heat, producing an even heat across the floor surface.

The screed can now be prepared on site and applied to the base surface. Your intended use of the room will help the screeding contractor on which form of floor screed is perfect for your needs. Be aware that even quick drying screeds have a minimum of 24 hours before you can walk on any screeded surfaces and at least three days before any flooring can be fitted. If you are hoping to end up with a well finished and durable floor surface you must follow the manufacturer's guidelines with regards to heavy duty and standard screeds where this timescale will be longer.

The SR level of your screeding can be verified once it's solidified sufficiently to be stepped onto. The test involves the use of a 2 mtr long straight-edge laid down upon the surface and any deviations from true are calculated.

  • SR1 - Disparities of 3mm or less being measured over the entire area shows your screed floor to be of the finest quality and is specified as SR1.
  • SR2 - The normal standard flooring in industrial and commercial builds is classed as SR2 and has a maximum deviation of five millimetres across the whole screeded floor.
  • SR3 - SR3 is basic utility standard where a perfect finish isn't required. This level allows for a maximium deviation of 10mm.

If you need to check the floor for load bearing, a qualified structural engineer is required to conduct the tests. Using specialist equipment the structural engineer will establish the screed strength and its suitability for use in a load bearing environment. An assessment called the "drop hammer test" is carried out at various areas on the screed layer and the results documented. Any screeding that's got load bearing requirements must be okayed by a competent structural engineer applying the BS8204 guidelines.

Latex Screeding Brigg

When a floor's surface needs a certain amount of flexibility, it might be wise to use a latex floor screed. Normally coming in two parts, latex screeds comprise a cementitious powder and a latex liquid component. Latex screeds are quicker drying and more flexible than other types of screed, since the water which is normally used is substituted with the liquid latex.

This latex product is used for levelling subfloors prior to the laying of the final decorative covering. This screed is suitable for sub-floors made from asphalt, quarry tiles, sand/cement, wood or concrete, is ideal for the application of flooring adhesives and gives a durable, smooth surface. Even where there is a bit of movement on your subfloor, this latex screed will give you a flexible, crack-free finish.

When a screed is being laid on the top of a layer of either thermal or acoustic insulation (i.e. a "floating" screed), latex screeds aren't a suitable choice, because in this case (typically when screeding on top of underfloor heating), you will likely require a screed thickness of 50-75mm.
