Floor Screeding Dromore

Floor Screeding Dromore Northern Ireland (BT25): A professional floor screeder can level an uneven or damaged floor, help install underfloor heating or help with renovations on your Dromore home, when needed. Floor screeding gives a smooth, level finish to a coarse sub-base floor, and will allow you to lay your final layer of flooring material, (tiles, carpets, boards etc) on top of it. The screed is a vital procedure to guarantee a durable and quality finish to the whole floor structure.

FLOOR SCREEDING COMPANIES DROMORE

Having all of the experience and know-how to help you achieve a perfect floor in whatever size room you're working on, a floor screeding firm in Dromore is the ideal choice for your screeding task. They'll assess your project and ascertain the correct sort of screed you need and the best strategy for applying it.

The screeding specialist will also inform you if a structural engineer is necessary for your project, to identify point loadings, flex strength and load bearing that your screed floor might need to conform with building regulations and British Standards.

A skilled and qualified work force is imperative for a successful outcome and will extend your floor's lifespan by using the correct sort of screed for your room's anticipated purpose. There are many different types of screeding and picking the correct mix and installation method is vital if you are to create a high quality floor that is fit for purpose and hard-wearing.

There are a number of screeding specialists in the Dromore area so make sure you get multiple price quotes for your floor screeding project before selecting a contractor and know to what standard of finish it's for. The Surface Regularity (SR) finish is the number to keep your eye on when reviewing a quote from Dromore screeding companies. SR2 and SR3 may be less expensive options, although the finished floor surface could have errors and deviations, whilst SR1 guarantees a pretty much perfect finish. Any error in the final screeding can cause issues with laying flooring due to ridges, flat spots, indentations in the surface.

British Standards BS8204 sets down the regulations and guidelines that all Dromore screeding contractors must follow, and if applying specialist screeding solutions, (Cemfloor, Flowcrete, Gypsol etc), they should be certified by the manufacturers as being skilled and trained in their use. The training and testing of a screeding company by a manufacturer is highlighted through the accreditation scheme, and offers assurances of reliability and safe working practices on any flooring project involving their materials.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - This is good for regular domestic use and is a blend of cement and sand. The ratios involved in standard screeds are 5 parts sand to 1 part cement. The standard screed will dry at a rate of 1mm thickness per day.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If you have to use the area in question as quickly as possible a fast drying screed can be used. Most of the fast drying screeds are of the fibre reinforced kind and are ideal for a wide array of flooring projects where the swifter curing rate of three to seven millimetres is advantageous.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The favourite choice of professional contractors for use in combination with underfloor heating systems. The fibres in this screed mix improve it's strength and durability whilst also safeguarding against thermal cracking and shrinkage. The screed will dry out at a rate of roughly 1mm/day.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - A screed that's designed for heavy traffic and high load areas where the maximum possible durability and strength is very important.

Polymer Screeds - An extremely high strength flooring solution where a reduced thickness is needed. Due to their different chemical compositions, these polymer screeds have varying curing times which can be verified by reading manufacturer's own product guidelines.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - When the highest possible standard of finish is required this compound of cement and latex is used to create SR1 level screeding. The self-levelling compound provides a clean and level surface over a rough substrate or damaged floor to enable all sorts of flooring materials to be laid. These can be as little as 1mm in depth, and due to the latex polymers, will still provide a high strength finish.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Good preparation is crucial for a high quality screed surface that will be hard wearing and durable. It's vital that all contaminants such as loose debris, paint, grease or oil is eradicated from the floor before laying any screed, as these can affect the bonding capability that a good quality screed needs.

If cleansing products have been used it's important to remove any traces of soap, detergent etc, and leave the surface to dry naturally. At this point cracks should be repaired because these can travel up through a laid screed and be visible in the finished surface. During an on-site survey your Dromore screeding installer will ascertain what preparation work is needed before any actual screeding work commences.

A DPM (damp proof membrane) will be put down after the preparation work has been finished to stop ground dampness affecting the flooring materials and screeding. There might be 2 or 3 layers of different thickness polythene to act as a barrier between the screed and the insulation layer.

If the area where you live is at risk from radon then a further barrier is necessary to stop this harmful gas from entering from the ground. An airtight membrane could be suitable in places with low radon emissions, but in more severe situations there may need to be a more complex extraction and ventilation system to block any harmful radon.

The final phase of the surface preparation process is the spraying or painting of a sealant or primer. These primers and sealers will ensure the screed bonds perfectly to the base and help produce a high quality finished floor. Due to their special nature, only experienced screeders in Dromore are capable of using them correctly, safely and through the use of equipment that's made for this task.

Under floor heating can now be laid out, installed and tested before the screed is applied. The cabling and heating pipes are securely attached to insulation panels to prevent any movement and make sure they're positioned correctly. Underfloor heating is one of the most efficient ways to heat a room and a professionally installed system will produce even warmth in all areas of the floor.

Obviously, if you aren't installing under floor heating, you can ignore this step and get on with applying the floor screed. Your screeding company will give you guidance and advice on which screed type is appropriate for your needs, according to your proposed use of the room area. Don't forget that even quick drying screeds have a minimum of twenty four hours before you are able to walk over any laid surface and a minimum 3 days before any floor coverings can be laid. Manufacturer's drying instructions for heavy duty and standard screeds must be observed so as to achieve a quality finish and end up with a stable and even surface.

You can test the SR level of the completed screeding once it's hard enough for walking on. The test involves the use of a 2m long straight-edge laid on the floor surface and any variations from true are measured.

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

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

• SR3 - SR3 is basic utility standard where a quality finish isn't needed. This specification can have a maximum permissible deviation of 10mm.

If your screed floor has been installed with specific load bearing requirements in mind then a structural engineer is going to be necessary to conduct the tests. Using specialist equipment the structural engineer will assess the screeding strength and its suitability for use in a load bearing environment. This will include what's known as a "drop hammer test" which assesses various aspects of the strength and flexibility of the screed. Only fully qualified structural engineers observing the British Standards BS8204 regulations are permitted to carry out such testing and sign off on the structural integrity of screed flooring.
