Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - A cement and latex mixture which can produce the highest standard of finish to SR1 levels. This is largely used to produce a clean, smooth floor over the top of a damaged or poor quality substrate and enables all types of flooring materials to be used. This liquid screed can be laid to a depth of only one millimetre, but will still provide a high strength base to take a varied selection of flooring finishes.

Polymer Screeds - These provide a high level of strength with a reduced thickness. Due to their different chemical compositions, these screeds have varying setting times which you can verify by checking manufacturer's guidelines.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - A screed designed for high load and heavy traffic areas where the maximum possible strength and durability is very important.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The favoured option where underfloor heating is being installed in domestic homes in Mablethorpe. The special fibres in this screed improve overall strength and durability while also protecting against thermal cracking and shrinkage. The screed will dry out at a rate of 1mm/day.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If you need to use the floor as soon as possible a fast drying screed can be employed. Drying at a rate of three to seven millimetres, depending on the mix, they are normally a fibre reinforced type of screed and are suitable for projects which have tight schedules.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To enable the screeding to be of a high quality finish which is hard wearing and durable, time must be spent on preparing the area before any screeding material is laid. The original floor surfaces should be cleaned to remove any paint, oil, debris and grease that might adversely affect the adhesion of the screed.

Screeding Near Mablethorpe (LN12)

Any cleaning products which are used in this process shouldn't leave any residues, and the floor base must be allowed to dry by itself naturally. At this point any cracks need to be repaired since these can easily travel up through your laid screed and be visible in the finished floor surface. An experienced Mablethorpe screeding contractor will address such aspects during a site survey and ensure all preparations are complete before applying the next stages of the floor screeding process.

Before the screeding can be poured a damp proof membrane (DPM) will have to be put down to shield the final flooring and screed from moisture damage. Different gauges of polythene sheeting could be used as a damp proof membrane and also serve as a barrier for the screed and any insulation material.

Another air-tight barrier may be needed if your home or business premises is in an area that is known to be prone to radon gas emissions. This could be as simple as an air-tight membrane, or in more serious cases a ventilation system will be installed under the screeding to extract any inflow of radon gas from the ground.

Once these steps have been taken the screeding company will apply a primer or sealant to the prepared base surface. A primer assists in the screed to bond successfully to the base surface and different types exist based on which screed type is being used. Custom-made equipment such as airless sprays will usually be used to apply a primer or sealant, by certified screeding companies in Mablethorpe observing the manufacturer's guidelines.

Underfloor heating can now be laid out, installed and checked before the screed is poured. Insulation panels will be put in place and the cabling and heating pipes will be securely attached to prevent any movement whilst the screed is poured. Under floor heating is one of the most efficient ways to heat a room and a skillfully installed system should provide even level of warmth in all areas of the floor.

If you're not fitting underfloor heating the screed will now be prepared on site and laid. Your screeding specialist will have given you advice on which screed type is best for your needs, in line with your proposed use of the room. Be aware that even quick drying and advanced screeds have a minimum of 24 hours before you can walk on any screeded surface and a minimum 72 hours before any flooring materials can be applied. This timescale is longer for heavy duty and standard screeds and the manufacture's product guidelines should be followed to the letter to produce the best finish and durability of the floor.

The SR level of your screeding can be verified once it has hardened enough to be stepped onto. The standard SR test involves the use of a 2 metre straight edge to check for any deviations in the screed surface.

  • SR1 - Deviations of 3 millimetres or less being measured across the entire floor area shows your screeding to be of the finest quality and is categorised as SR1.
  • SR2 - The standard flooring in industrial and commercial builds is normally SR2 and has a maximum possible deviation of 5mm across the entire floor.
  • SR3 - SR3 is basic utility standard where a quality finish is not required. This specification allows for a maximium deviation depth of 10 millimetres.

If you need load bearing checks, a qualified structural engineer is necessary to carry out the testing. This test will establish the strength of the screed and its viability for the intended use. This will include a drop hammer test which assesses various aspects of the flexibility and strength of the screed. The specialist testing and measurement tools mean that this can only be carried out by a qualified structural engineer observing the guidelines of the British Standards BS8204.

Latex Screeding Mablethorpe

When a degree of flexibility is necessary in the surface of a floor you might find that the application of a latex self-levelling floor screed will be best. Latex screeds usually comprise 2 parts - a cement-based smoothing compound, and a liquid latex component. The latex liquid additive replaces the water that would normally be used in a screed mix, and is quicker drying and far more flexible than standard screeds.

Used for levelling sub-floors, this latex product creates a surface for the laying of the final floor finish. This is appropriate for sub-floors made of concrete, quarry tiles, wood, sand/cement or asphalt, is ideal for the application of flooring adhesives and gives a resilient and smooth surface. If your subfloor has any movement in it, this type of screed will provide a flexible, crack-free finish, upon which your chosen floor coverings can sit.

Latex screeds aren't suitable where "floating" screeds are desired, for example when an unbonded screed is being laid on the top of a membrane of either thermal or acoustic insulation, such as could be the case when you're screeding on top of underfloor heating, and thicknesses of 50-65mm may be necessary.
