This is due to the improved strength and protection against thermal shrinkage and cracking offered by the special fibres within the screed mix. It sets at the same rate as a standard screed, at about 1mm per day.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To make certain the screeding is of a good quality finish that's hard wearing and durable, time should be spent on carefully preparing the area prior to any screeding material being poured. The original floor surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned to eradicate any paint, debris, oil and grease which can affect the adhesion of the screeding.

Screeding Near Evesham (WR11)

Any cleaning chemicals which are used in this stage shouldn't leave any residues, and the floor surface must be allowed to dry out naturally. If screeding over a stone or cement floor then all cracks should be mended to stop them from "travelling" through your screed layer and causing imperfections on the final floor surface. A professional Evesham screeding contractor will pick up on these aspects during a on-site survey and make sure that all preparations are complete before moving on to the next stages of the floor screeding process.

To protect the flooring materials and screed layer from moisture rising up through the ground, a DPM (damp proof membrane) must be installed. The damp proof membrane is made from thick polythene sheeting and different layers might be used to serve as a moisture barrier for the screeding.

If your home is situated in an area where radon is found a supplementary barrier layer is necessary to stop radon gas from getting through. If radon occurs in severe doses then a full ventilation system might be needed beneath the layer of screed which will extract any gases that might seep in from the ground.

As soon as the base has been properly prepared and all membranes installed, a primer or sealer is then applied. Sealers and primers help the bonding process and are special applications specifically designed for the sort of screed that's being applied. Devices such as airless sprays can be used to apply a sealant or primer, which should be done by experienced screeding contractors in Evesham observing the manufacturer's guidelines.

If you're installing underfloor heating, this is the time that it will need to be properly set out and installed. Insulation panels will be laid out and the wires and heating pipes will be firmly mounted to prevent any movement while the screed is being applied. When expertly installed an underfloor heating system is an excellent way to warm up a room and decent quality screed will retain its heat, creating an even level of warmth right across the floor.

If you're not installing under floor heating the screed can now be mixed and prepared in situ and poured. The requirements of the room will determine the type of screeding used. For quick drying and advanced screeds there will be at least twenty four hours delay before it can be walked on, and a further Three days minimum before you are able to lay any flooring materials. Such time periods will be longer for standard and heavy duty screeds and the manufacture's product guidelines must be followed to the letter to produce the optimal finish and durability of the floor.

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

  • SR1 - Over the whole floor area, if there are no disparities of more than 3mm from the straight-edge, then you've got a top quality SR1 specification surface.
  • SR2 - SR2 is for standard floors in commercial and industrial projects and can deviate from the straight-edge by as much as 5mm.
  • SR3 - If the deviation around the room is 10mm or less the screed quality is categorised as SR3 and is fine for utility and garage areas.

If your screed has been laid with particular load bearing requirements in mind then a qualified structural engineer will be necessary to carry out the assessment. Using specialist equipment the structural engineer will establish the screeding strength and its suitability for use in a load bearing setting. An assessment called the "drop hammer test" is performed on several areas of the screed layer and the results recorded. Any screeding that has load bearing requirements must be sanctioned by a qualified structural engineer obeying the British Standards BS8204 guidelines.
