FLOOR SCREEDING EXPERTS INGLEBY BARWICK

Whatever size room or area you are renovating, a decent screeding specialist in Ingleby Barwick will supply the experience and correct working methods to establish the perfect base for your floor. They will be able to assess your project and verify the correct sort of screed you need and how best to apply it.

A professional screeding contractor will also inform you if a structural engineer is needed for your project, to check on flex strength, point loadings and load bearing that your flooring might need to conform with British Standards and building regulations.

The training and skills that a screeding contractor brings to your project will guarantee a high quality result and help in extending the lifetime of your floor. There are many different kinds of screeding and picking the correct mix and laying method is critical if you are to achieve a high quality floor which is durable and fit for purpose.

Before deciding upon a screeding specialist from those based in the Ingleby Barwick area, ask to what standard of finish they are basing their estimate, and also make sure you get multiple price quotes. For residential homes a quote will usually be given for a Surface Regularity (SR) standard of SR1 or SR2. Each of the three SR levels offer different standards of finish, with SR1 being the best, with the smallest amount of deviation over the area of the floor. An SR2 or SR3 level may mean there will be flat spots or ridges that could cause problems when laying your final flooring materials.

British Standards BS8204 sets down the guidelines and regulations that all Ingleby Barwick screeding installers must follow, and if using specialist screeding solutions, (Flowcrete, Gypsol, Cemfloor etc), they must be approved by the manufacturers as being skilled and trained in their use. This accreditation scheme showcases a firm's high quality performance and training in the application of a manufacturer's products.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Used in residential projects where the mixture of cement and sand is acceptable for normal floor traffic use. This mixture uses a 5:1 ratio of sand to cement. Once laid this 5:1 ratio will dry at a rate of one millimetre per day.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - When the highest possible standard of finish is required this formula of cement and latex is employed to produce SR1 level screeding. This self-levelling compound provides a smooth and clean surface over a damaged floor or rough substrate to allow all forms of flooring materials to be laid. The liquid screed can be poured to a depth of just one millimetre, but will still provide a high strength base for a wide variety of flooring materials.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Made for maximum durability and strength in areas where traffic is expected to be high or specific loading of the floor base is needed.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The favoured option where under floor heating is being installed in domestic properties in Ingleby Barwick. The special fibres in this screed mix improve it's strength and durability whilst also safeguarding against thermal shrinkage and cracking. It dries out at an identical rate to a standard screed, at about one millimetre per day.

Polymer Screeds - An extremely high strength flooring solution where a reduced thickness is required. The setting times for these vary in accordance with product guidelines.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If you need to use the area in question as soon as possible a fast drying screed can be utilised. Drying out at a rate of 3-7mm/day, determined by the mix, they are usually a fibre reinforced type of screed and are suitable for projects which have tight schedules.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding companies will have to prepare the area prior to any other work in order to ensure a high quality and hard wearing screed flooring. Any grease, oil, paint and debris on the original floor level can adversely affect the adhesion of the screed, and should be eliminated.

If cleansing products have been used it is essential to remove any traces of soap etc, and leave the floor surface to dry naturally. At this point any cracks need to be repaired because these can travel up through the laid screed and be visible in the completed floor surface. A site survey will allow your Ingleby Barwick screeding specialist to pinpoint these preparation areas and complete them before starting to apply the screed layer.

A damp proof membrane (DPM) will be installed after the preparation work has been done to prevent ground moisture affecting the flooring materials and screeding. There could be 2 or 3 layers of varying thicknesses of polythene to act as a barrier between the insulation layer and screed.

If your house is situated in an area where radon is found an extra barrier layer is essential to prevent radon gas from seeping through. If radon gas is present in large amounts then a full extraction and ventilation system might be needed underneath the layer of screed which will remove any gases that are seeping in from ground level.

As soon as the base has been properly prepared and any DPMs installed, a primer or sealer is then applied. Sealers and primers help with the bonding process and are specialist applications specifically designed for the sort of screed that's being used. Custom-made equipment such as airless sprays will usually be used to apply a sealant or primer, by qualified screeding contractors in Ingleby Barwick sticking to the manufacturer's guidelines and safety advice.

Underfloor heating can now be laid out, installed and checked before screeding is applied. The underfloor heating system is laid out in the correct pattern and firmly secured to insulation panels to prevent any movement during screed application. Warmth is evenly spread across the floor in a properly installed under floor heating system, and in conjunction with it being an effective choice of heating, it's an ideal choice for most Ingleby Barwick home restoration projects.

If you are not installing underfloor heating the screed will now be mixed and prepared in situ and laid. Your screeding contractor will have given you advice and guidance on which type of screed is best for your requirements, in line with your intended use of the room area. After the pouring of the screed there is at least 24 hours (for quick drying and advanced screeds) before you're able to walk on the surface, and a 72 hour minimum setting period before the laying of any flooring materials. Such periods will be longer for standard and heavy duty screeds and the manufacture's instructions should be followed to produce the optimum finish and longevity of the floor.

Once the screeding has hardened it can be checked for quality to ascertain the SR standard. The test involves using a 2 mtr straight edge laid down upon the surface and any fluctuations from true are measured.

• SR1 - Deviations of 3mm or less as measured across the whole floor area shows your screed to be of the best quality and specified as SR1.

• SR2 - If the floor deviates from the straight edge by 5 millimetres or less it is SR2 quality and is the normal standard for industrial and commercial projects.

• SR3 - If the deviation around the whole space is 10 millimetres or less the screed quality is classified as SR3 and is suitable for utility and garage areas.

If your screeding has been laid with particular loading in mind then a structural engineer is going to be needed to carry out the tests. This assessment will determine the overall strength of the screeding and the suitability for its proposed use. The screed layer should be subjected to a drop hammer test to assess flexibility and strength in specific areas. The precise testing and measurement tools involved mean that this can only be conducted by a trained structural engineer heeding the BS8204 guidelines.
