FLOOR SCREEDING EXPERTS HARWORTH

Supplying the expertise and correct working practices to generate a perfect base for your floors, a floor screeding company in Harworth can assist you with whatever size or shape of room or area you're renovating. To ascertain the appropriate form of screed you require, and the most effective way to install it, they'll do a diligent assessment of your project.

They'll in addition assess if a structural engineer is necessary to make certain any flex strength, point loadings and load bearing are followed as laid down in the building regulations.

The training and skills that a screeding technician brings to your project should guarantee a high quality end result and help to prolong the lifetime of your floor or floors. Choosing the correct screeding materials and the best installation technique is vital if you want to finish up with a quality and durable finish for your floor surface.

There are many screeding specialists in and around Harworth so make sure you get multiple quotations for your floor screeding project before choosing a company and know to what standard of finish is it for. The SR (Surface Regularity) finish is the figure to look for when studying a quote from Harworth screeding companies. Each of the 3 SR levels offer different levels of finish, with SR1 being the highest, with the smallest amount of deviation over the surface area. Any error in the screeding (as might arise with SR2 or SR3) can cause problems in laying flooring due to flat spots, ridges, indentations in the surface.

All Harworth screeding installers must observe British Standards (BS8204) and should have some kind of accreditation from the manufacturers of specialised screeding equipment and materials, for instance Flowcrete, Cemfloor, Gypsol. This accreditation program demonstrates a company's high quality performance and training in the usage of a manufacturer's merchandise.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Used in residential projects where the mix of sand and cement is acceptable for everyday footfall use. The ratios involved in standard screeds are five parts sand to one part cement. This 5 to 1 ratio standard screed will dry out at a rate of just 1mm per day after laying.

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

Polymer Screeds - A high strength solution where a reduced thickness is needed. Due to their different chemical compositions, these polymer screeds have varying drying times which you can verify by checking manufacturer's guidelines.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If you have to press ahead urgently with the flooring owing to time restraints, these screeds dry more speedily than standard flooring screeds. The majority of the fast drying screeds are of the fibre reinforced kind and are appropriate for a wide range of projects where the quicker drying rate of 3-7mm is an advantage.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - When a high standard of finish is needed this mix of of latex and cement is employed to produce SR1 quality screed flooring. Largely used to finish off a damaged floor or poor substrate level to enable the laying of a new flooring surface, such as tiles over it. Even with a thickness of only 1mm, the latex polymers within the screed provide a high strength surface for a wide range of uses.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The favoured option where under floor heating is being installed in residential properties in Harworth. The greater strength and flex offered by the special fibres in this screed help protect the flooring from shrinkage and cracking due to heat. At about 1mm per day, it has a similar setting rate to standard floor screed.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Good preparation is crucial for a quality finished screed surface that will be durable and hard wearing. The existing floor surface should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any grease, paint, debris and oil which can affect the bond of the screed.

If cleaning products were used it is vital to remove any residues of detergent, soap etc, and allow the floor surface to dry naturally. If screeding over a cement or stone floor then all cracks should be mended to stop them from "travelling" up through the screed layer and causing imperfections on the final surface. A genuine Harworth screeding contractor will pick up on these problems during the site survey and ensure all preparations are completed before moving on to the next steps in the screeding process.

To shield the screed layer and flooring materials from moisture rising up from the ground, a DPM (damp proof membrane) must be laid. There could be two or three layers of different thickness polythene to act as a barrier between the screed and the insulation layer.

If your house is situated in an area where radon is found an additional barrier layer is necessary to prevent radon gas from getting through. This could be as simple as an airtight membrane, or in severe situations a ventilation system will be installed beneath the screed to draw out any inflow of air and gas from ground level.

As soon as the base has been prepared and all membranes installed, a primer or sealer is then applied. Primers and sealers assist with the bonding process and are specialist applications specifically designed for the type of screed that's being applied. These substances need certified contractors to apply them in the right proportions by using tailor-made equipment, such as airless sprays.

Underfloor heating can now be installed and checked before screeding is poured. The underfloor heating system will be carefully positioned and secured firmly to insulation panels to avoid any movement during screed pouring process. Warmth will be spread evenly across the floor in a properly installed underfloor heating system, and in conjunction with it being an efficient choice of heating, it's a good choice for the majority of Harworth renovation projects.

Naturally, if you're not putting in underfloor heating, you can skip this step and get on with applying the floor screed. The specific requirements of the room will determine the sort of screeding that's used. After the application of the screed there will be at least twenty four hours (for quick drying and advanced screeds) before you are able to walk upon the surface, and a seventy two hours minimum curing period before the laying of any floor coverings. Such time periods will be increased for heavy duty and standard screeds and the manufacture's instructions should be followed to the letter to achieve the best finish and longevity of the floor.

The SR standard of your screeding can be verified once it has hardened sufficiently to be walked on. The basic SR test involves the use of a 2 mtr long straight-edge to check for any variations in the floor surface.

• SR1 - SR1 is the best standard and allows only 3mm of deviation from the straight-edge.

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

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

If your screed floor has been installed with particular loading in mind then a structural engineer is going to be necessary to conduct the tests. Using specialist equipment the engineer will verify the screed strength and its suitability for use in a load bearing environment. A drop hammer test is performed at various areas on the screed and the results documented. Only certified structural engineers heeding the British Standards BS8204 regulations are allowed to carry out such testing and sign off on the structural integrity of screed flooring.
