Floor Screeding Hextable

Floor Screeding Hextable Kent (BR8): When you're upgrading your Hextable property that has uneven or damaged floors, or maybe converting a basement or cellar to useful living area, an experienced floor screeding specialist will be able to help with your home improvements. Allowing you to lay your final layer of flooring material, (carpets, tiles, boards etc) over the top of it, screeding provides a smooth, level finish to a rough sub-base floor. To guarantee a durable and quality finish to the entire floor structure, screed is a key component.

FLOOR SCREEDING EXPERTS HEXTABLE

A professional floor screeding company in Hextable will have all the know-how and experience to help you achieve a perfectly finished floor in whichever size or shape of room you're working on. After a thorough assessment of your project, they'll be in a position to inform you about which method of laying is best suited to your circumstances, and which is the best choice of screed to use.

The screeding contractor will also notify you if a structural engineer is required for your undertaking, in order to check on flex strength, point loadings and load requirements that your screed floor may need to conform with building regulations and British Standards.

Working with a highly trained and skilled flooring specialist will guarantee you use the right sort of screed for the room's intended purpose to extend the lifetime of your flooring. Choosing the correct screeding materials and the best installation technique is vital if you want a durable and quality finish for your floor.

There are a number of screeding companies in and around Hextable so make sure you get multiple estimates for your project before selecting a company and know to what standard of finish is it for. For domestic homes an estimate will normally be given for an SR (Surface Regularity) level of SR1 or SR2. Each of the three SR levels deliver different standards of finish, with SR1 being the highest quality, with the lowest amount of deviation over the area. Any error in the final screeding can cause issues with laying flooring owing to flat spots, indentations, ridges in the floor surface.

British Standards BS8204 lays out the guidelines and regulations that all Hextable screeding contractors must follow, and if working with specialist screeding solutions, (Flowcrete, Cemfloor, Gypsol etc), they should be approved by the manufacturers as being trained and skilled in their use. This accreditation scheme showcases a company's training and performance in the use of a manufacturer's products.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - This is acceptable for everyday residential usage and is a blend of cement and sand. This mix uses a 5:1 ratio of sand to cement. This five to one ratio standard screed will set hard at a rate of 1mm per day after application.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The professional's choice for residential use on top of underfloor heating. This is due to the increased durability and protection against thermal shrinkage and cracking offered by the special fibres within the screed. At about 1mm per day, it has the same curing rate to standard screed.

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - As the name suggest, this screed dries rapidly and allows you to use the screeded area much sooner. These are generally a fibre reinforced type of screed which can dry at a rate of between 3-7mm per day and are employed in time critical projects.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - A latex and cement formula which can produce the highest standard of finish to SR1 levels. The self-levelling compound provides a smooth and level surface over a rough substrate or damaged floor to allow all types of flooring materials to be laid. These can be as little as 1mm thick, and due to the latex polymers, will still provide a high strength finish.

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

Polymer Screeds - When a reduced thickness of floor is necessary because of building factors, a polymer screed offers a high strength solution to this problem. The drying times for these vary as outlined by proprietary product guidelines.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

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

Any cleaning chemicals that are used in this stage shouldn't leave any residues, and the floor surface must be permitted to dry by itself naturally. If screeding over a stone or cement floor then all cracks should be repaired to prevent them from "travelling" through the screed layer and resulting in deviations on the final surface. An on-site survey will allow your Hextable screeding contractor to take note of this preparation work and complete it before beginning to pour the screeding layer.

A DPM (damp proof membrane) will be put down once the preparation work has been completed to prevent ground moisture getting into the screed and floor materials. Different gauges of special polythene might be used as a DPM and also serve as a barrier for the screed and any insulation panels.

If the area where you live is at risk from radon then a further barrier is essential to stop this harmful gas from entering from the ground. A simple airtight membrane could be sufficient in locations with relatively low radon measurements, but in more extreme cases there might need to be a more complex extraction system to take away any harmful radon gas.

Once the base has been properly prepared and any DPMs installed, a primer or sealant is then put on. Sealers and primers assist with the bonding process and are specialist applications matched to the type of screed that is being used. These substances require professional tradesmen to apply them in the right proportions by using airless sprays and other bespoke equipment.

Now is the time that under floor heating can be laid out in the correct manner and installed. The cabling and heating pipes are firmly attached to insulation panels to prevent any movement and make sure that they're positioned correctly. Under floor heating is one of the most efficient ways to heat a room and a skillfully installed system will deliver even level of warmth across the floor area.

If you're not installing under floor heating the screed can now be prepared in situ and laid. Your intended use of the room will assist your screeding specialist on what sort of screed is ideal for your requirements. For advanced and quick drying screeds there'll be at least twenty four hours delay before it can be walked over, and a further seventy two hours minimum before you can lay any flooring materials. This timescale is longer for heavy duty and standard screeds and the manufacture's product guidelines must be followed to the letter to achieve the best finish and longevity of the floor.

The SR standard of your screeding can be confirmed once it has hardened enough to be walked on. The basic SR test uses a 2 mtr straight edge to check for any fluctuations in the floor surface.

• SR1 - Over the entire area, if there are no disparities greater than 3mm from the straight-edge, then you've got a top specification SR1 standard surface.

• SR2 - The standard flooring in commercial and industrial builds is normally SR2 and has a maximum possible deviation of 5 millimetres across the whole floor.

• SR3 - For a utility area or room where the quality of finish is comparatively immaterial the SR3 is the classification and has a deviation measurement of 10mm or less.

If your screed has been laid with specific loading in mind then a structural engineer will be required to conduct tests. Using specialist equipment the engineer will verify the screeded surface strength and its suitability for use in a load bearing environment. A "drop hammer test" is conducted at various areas on the screed layer and the outcomes recorded. The specialist testing and measurement tools required mean that this can only be undertaken by a qualified structural engineer observing the guidelines of the British Standards BS8204.

Latex Screed Hextable

When a certain degree of flexibility is necessary in the surface of a floor you might find that the use of a latex floor screed will be an advantage. Latex floor screed comes in 2 parts, a bag and a bottle, with the bag containing a cement based powder, and a bottle that contains a liquid latex. The latex liquid solution replaces the water that's used in normal screeds, meaning it is quicker drying and more flexible.

Used in the levelling-out of sub-floors, this latex product provides a surface for the installation of your chosen floor finish. This screeding is appropriate for use on subfloors of wood, concrete, quarry tiles, asphalt and sand/cement, to give a smooth, resilient surface which is ideal for the application of adhesives. Even where there happens to be movement on your sub-floor, this latex screed will provide a flexible, crack-free finish.

When using a "floating" screed, i.e. when a screed is being laid over the top of a layer of either thermal or acoustic insulation, screed thicknesses of 50 to 75 millimetres may be needed, and latex floor screeds are not suitable for this purpose.
