FLOOR SCREEDING COMPANIES CADISHEAD

Supplying the expertise and proper working methods to establish the perfect base for your flooring, a floor screeding company in Cadishead can assist you with whatever size room or area you are remodeling. To establish the right kind of screed you require, and the best way to install it, they will do a thorough assessment of your project.

They'll likewise assess if a structural engineer is required to make sure that any point loadings, load bearing and flex strength are satisfied as outlined by construction and building regulations.

A skilled and qualified work force is essential to a successful outcome and will extend the lifespan of your floor through the use of the right form of screed for the proposed purpose of your room. The correct mixture of screed and the way it is laid is also vital to ensure the ultimate quality of your floor surface.

There are numerous screeding specialists in the Cadishead area so try to get multiple price quotes for your project before selecting a company and know to what standard of finish is it for. The estimate might be based on what is called the Surface Regularity, or SR number. SR1 is the highest standard, and whilst SR2 and SR3 may be less costly initially, they don't guarantee a perfectly even or flat surface. An SR2 or SR3 standard may mean there are flat spots or ridges that might cause issues when laying your final flooring surface (carpet, tile, wood etc).

British Standards BS8204 sets down the regulations and guidelines that all Cadishead screeding installers must follow, and if using specialist screeding solutions, (Gypsol, Flowcrete, Cemfloor etc), they must be accredited by the manufacturers as being trained and skilled in their use. A contractor holding accreditations shows that they have been trained and assessed in using these products and can provide a high quality service in all aspects of their installation.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - This is perfect for normal residential use and is a mix of cement and sand. The ratios involved in standard screeds are 5 parts sand to 1 part cement. After laying a standard flooring screed dries out at a rate of 1mm/day.

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - As the name would suggest, this screed dries rapidly and allows you to use the floor area much faster. Most of the fast or advanced drying screeds are fibre reinforced and are appropriate for a wide range of flooring projects where the swifter drying rate of 3-7mm is a welcome advantage.

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

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The professional's choice for domestic use on top of under floor heating. The fibres in the screed enhance overall strength and durability whilst also safeguarding against thermal shrinkage and cracking. At approximately one millimetre per day, it has the same curing rate to standard screed.

Polymer Screeds - These provide an extremely high level of strength with a minimal thickness. The setting times vary as outlined by product guidelines.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - When a high standard of finish is necessary this solution of cement and latex is used to create SR1 level floor screeding. It's primarily used to provide a smooth, level floor over a damaged or poor quality substrate and results in a surface finish onto which all types of flooring materials can be laid. Even with a depth of just one millimetre, the latex polymers within the screed provide a high strength surface for a wide range of uses.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding installers will need to fully prepare all areas before any other work in order to guarantee a hard wearing and quality screed flooring. Any oil, paint, debris and grease on the original floor surface can adversely affect the bonding of the screed, and must be removed.

If any cleaning products were used during this stage it is crucial to make sure that no residues of soaps or detergents are left on the surface and it is allowed to dry out naturally. At this stage cracks should be mended since these can easily travel up through the newly laid screed and be visible in the completed floor surface. During an on-site survey the screeding specialist will notice what preparations are necessary before starting to work on the screeding.

To shield the flooring materials and screeding layer from moisture rising up from the ground, a damp proof membrane (DPM) must be installed. Different thicknesses of polythene sheets might be used as a DPM and also serve as a buffer for the screed and any insulation panels.

If the area where you live is susceptible to radon then an additional barrier is essential to stop this harmful gas from entering via the ground. This can be just a simple airtight membrane, or in severe instances a ventilation system will be installed beneath the screeding to take away any influx of air and gas from the ground.

Once these steps have been taken the screeding company will apply a primer or sealer to the prepared base. These primers and sealers will make sure the screed bonds successfully to the base and help to create a top quality finished floor. Custom-made equipment such as airless sprays can be used to apply a primer or sealant, which should be done by experienced screeding contractors in Cadishead sticking to the manufacturer's guidelines and safety advice.

Before the screeding is laid, any underfloor heating will now be installed. Insulation panels can be put in position and the heating pipes and cabling will be firmly fastened so there's no movement while the screed is applied. Underfloor heating is one of the most effective ways to heat a room and a properly installed system will provide even level of warmth across the floor area.

Needless to say, if you aren't installing underfloor heating, you can just skip this stage and get on with applying the screed. The particular requirements of the room will determine the form of screeding used. After the pouring of the screed there will be a minimum twenty four hours (for quick drying and advanced screeds) before you can walk on the surface, and a 72 hour minimum drying time for any floor material installations. Manufacturer's drying instructions for heavy duty and standard screeds must be observed in order to achieve a quality finish and end up with an even and stable floor surface.

Once the screed has hardened it can be quality checked to determine the SR standard. The basic SR test uses a 2m straight edge to check for any variations in the screeded surface.

• SR1 - SR1 is the best specification and permits just three millimetres of disparity from the straight-edge.

• SR2 - SR2 is for normal standard floors in commercial and industrial projects and can deviate from the straight-edge by as much as five millimetres.

• SR3 - For utility floors where the quality of finish is relatively immaterial SR3 is the classification and has a deviation measurement of ten millimetres or less.

It may also be necessary for a qualified structural engineer to conduct a soundness test. This assessment will ascertain the overall strength of the screed and the viability for its intended use. This can include what's known as a "drop hammer test" which assesses various aspects of the strength and flexibility of the screed. Any screed floor that has load bearing requirements must be approved by a competent structural engineer following the BS8204 guidelines.

Latex Floor Screeds Cadishead

When the surface of a floor needs a bit of flexibility, it is best to use a latex self-levelling floor screed. Latex floor screeds come in 2 parts - a bottle and a bag - with the bottle containing latex liquid and the bag containing a cement powder. The liquid latex solution actually replaces the water which would typically be used in a screed mix, and is quicker drying and far more flexible than standard screeds.

Before the laying of the final decorative covering, this latex compound is used for levelling subfloors. Providing a resilient and smooth surface which is ideal for the application of adhesives, this screeding is is appropriate for use on substrate of quarry tiles, wood, concrete, asphalt and sand/cement. This latex screeding will give you a crack-free, flexible finish, even if there is movement in your sub-floor.

When installing a "floating" screed, i.e. when an unbonded screed is being laid over the top of a layer of thermal or acoustic insulation, screed depths of 50-65mm may be necessary, and latex flooring screeds aren't appropriate for this purpose.

Granolithic Screeding Cadishead

Granolithic screeding refers to a kind of flooring that consists of a mixture of sand, cement and aggregate. It is applied in a relatively thin layer and then smoothed to provide a durable, hard-wearing and seamless surface. It is often used in industrial, public and commercial buildings where heavy traffic is expected.

This technique is typically used in commercial and industrial buildings, high-traffic residential areas, and spaces that require chemical and abrasion resistance. The resulting surface is easy to clean, durable, and provides the perfect base for other flooring products.

Granolithic screeding is typically applied over a concrete base, and the surface is typically treated with a curing compound to ensure it sets properly. Once cured, it creates a seamless floor with a smooth, hard surface that is resistant to wear. It is also resistant to chemicals and water, which makes it ideal for use in environments where there's a chance of spills or exposure to dangerous materials.... READ MORE.
