Polymer Screeds - Provides a high level of strength with a reduced thickness. Because of their different chemical compositions, polymer screeds have varying setting times which can be verified by studying manufacturer's product guidelines.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - When the highest possible standard of finish is required this formula of cement and latex is employed to achieve SR1 quality floor screeding. This self-levelling compound provides a clean and level surface over a rough substrate or damaged floor to enable all types of flooring materials to be laid. Even with a depth of one millimetre, the latex polymers within the mixture provide a high strength screed for a wide variety of uses.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If there's a need to use the floor as quickly as possible a fast drying screed can be employed. These are typically a fibre reinforced kind of screed that dries out at a rate of between 3-7mm/day per day and are used in time dependent projects.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Preparation is crucial for a high quality screed surface that will be hard wearing and durable. The existing floor surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned to eradicate any debris, oil, paint and grease which might affect the bond of the screed.

Screeding Near Langport (TA10)

If cleaning products were used it's essential to remove any traces of soap, detergent etc, and leave the surface to dry naturally. At this point any cracks should be mended since these can travel up through the laid screed and be reflected in the finished floor surface. A site survey will enable the screeding company to pinpoint these preparation areas and complete them before commencing to pour the screeding.

Before the screeding can be poured a DPM (damp proof membrane) must be put down to protect the final flooring and screed from moisture damage. There could be two or three layers of varying thicknesses of polythene to act as barriers between the screed and the insulation layer.

If your house is situated in a place where radon gas is found a supplementary barrier layer is essential to stop radon gas from getting through. If radon occurs in severe doses then a complete ventilation system may be installed beneath the screed which will extract any gases that might seep in from ground level.

Once these stages have been completed the screeding company will put on a sealant or primer to the prepared base. Primers assist with the bonding process and are specialist applications specifically designed for the kind of screed that is being used. Due to their special nature, only professional screeders in Langport should be entrusted with using them correctly, safely and through the use of equipment that is made for this task.

If you are going to be installing underfloor heating, this is the time that it will need to be correctly laid out and installed. The underfloor heating system is laid out in the correct pattern and mounted firmly on insulation panels to prevent any movement in the course of the screed pouring. When professionally installed an under floor heating system is an efficient way to warm up a room and high quality screeding retains its heat, producing an even level of warmth across the floor surface.

The screed can now be mixed and prepared in situ and poured onto the base. Your screeding contractor will have given you advice and guidance on which form of screed is suitable for your needs, in line with your proposed use of the room area. For quick drying and advanced screeds there will be at least a twenty four hour delay before it is able to be walked on, and a further seventy two hours minimum before any flooring material can be fitted. If you're laying heavy duty or standard screeds the setting time is longer and you must follow the manufacturer's guidelines in order to get the best possible finish to your floor.

You can assess the SR level of the finished screeding as soon as it's set enough to walk on. The standard SR test involves the use of a 2m long straight-edge to check for any fluctuations in the floor surface.

  • SR1 - Disparities of 3mm or less being measured over the whole floor area shows your screeding to be of the highest quality and is categorised as SR1.
  • SR2 - The normal standard flooring in commercial and industrial builds is classed as SR2 and has a maximum deviation of five millimetres across the entire screed.
  • SR3 - For other floors where the finish is comparatively immaterial the SR3 is the classification and has a maximum deviation measurement of 10mm or less.

It may also be necessary for a structural engineer to do a soundness test. Using specialised equipment the engineer will assess the screeded surface strength and viability of use in a load bearing setting. The screeding should be given a "drop hammer test" to assess strength and flexibility at distinct points. The precise testing and measurement tools involved mean that this can only be carried out by a qualified structural engineer following the BS8204 guidelines.

Latex Floor Screed Langport

When the characteristics of your floor's surface means that a degree of flexibility is required, it may be advantageous to use a latex screeding, as opposed to one with a rigid finish. Generally coming in 2 parts, latex floor screeds comprise a cementitious powder and a liquid latex additive. Latex screeds are more flexible and quicker drying than standard screeds, since the water that is normally used is substituted with the liquid latex.

This latex product is used for levelling subfloors prior to the installation of the final decorative surface. This screeding is appropriate for sub-floors made of sand/cement, wood, stone tiles, concrete or asphalt, is ideal for the application of adhesives and gives a smooth, durable surface. Even where there happens to be movement in your sub-floor, this type of screeding will provide a flexible, crack-free finish.

When using a "floating" screed, i.e. when screed is being laid on the top of underfloor heating, depths of 50mm-75mm may be needed, and latex floor screeds are not appropriate in this case.

Coloured Floor Screeds

Commercial or industrial settings often utilise coloured screeds as a flooring material. A unique and decorative finish is created by combining coloured resins, aggregates, and sealants to form these screeds. Their durability and slip-resistant properties make them a popular choice for areas with heavy footfall or machinery.

Multi-coloured screeds provide the flexibility to match the brand of a business or achieve a desired visual effect in a space through customisation. Facilities that demand a high standard of hygiene often prefer them due to their simple cleaning and maintenance requirements. The freedom to select aggregates based on size, shape, and colour in coloured screeds allows architects and designers to create custom flooring designs that are tailored to their project requirements. Overall, multi-coloured screeds are a versatile and practical flooring solution that can enhance both the style and function of any commercial or industrial space.
