FLOOR SCREEDING EXPERTS NETLEY

A dependable floor screeding contractor in Netley will have experience and knowledge to help you achieve a perfectly finished floor in whatever shape or size of room you are renovating. They will be ready to advise you on the right sort of screed your project requires, and the best methods for applying and installing it.

The screeding contractor will also let you know if a structural engineer is required for your undertaking, to check on any point loadings, load bearing and flex strength that your screed floor may require to conform with current building regulations and British Standards.

Working with a qualified and highly trained specialist will ensure that you use the appropriate sort of screed for the room's intended purpose to extend the life of your floor. Selecting the right screeding materials and the best installation technique is crucial if you want to end up with a quality and durable finish for your floor surface.

Before selecting a floor screeding company from those operating in the Netley area, ask to what standard of finish they're basing their estimate, and also ensure you get two or three estimates. For residential homes a quote will normally be given for an SR (Surface Regularity) standard of SR1 or SR2. SR1 is the best level, and whilst SR2 and SR3 might be less expensive initially, they do not guarantee a totally even or flat surface. This means that you might have to fix any patches that may cause issues when laying your finished flooring material.

British Standards BS8204 lays out the guidelines and regulations that all Netley screeding contractors is obliged to follow, and if using specialist screeding solutions, (Flowcrete, Cemfloor, Gypsol etc), they must be accredited by the manufacturers as being trained and skilled in their use. The assessment and training of a floor screeding contractor by such manufacturers is underlined by the use of this accreditation scheme, and offers assurances of reliability and safe working practices on any screeding project involving their materials.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Widely used in domestic flooring projects where the mixture of sand and cement is good for normal footfall use. The ratios involved in standard screeds are five parts sand to one part cement. The standard screed will dry at a rate of one millimetre thickness per day.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - Used mostly with under floor heating and is the recommended choice in these projects. The special fibres in the screed mix improve overall strength and durability whilst also safeguarding against thermal cracking and shrinkage. It's got a setting rate of 1mm per day.

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

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Developed for maximum strength and durability in places where traffic is high or heavy loading on the floor base is required.

Polymer Screeds - When a lower thickness of floor is needed due to building requirements, a polymer screed offers a high strength resolution to this problem. The setting times vary as outlined by product guidelines.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - A cement and latex formula which can achieve the highest standard SR1 finish. Primarily used to finalise a poor substrate level or damaged floor to enable the laying of a brand new flooring surface, like vinyl planks on the top of 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.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding installers will need to fully prepare the area prior to any other work so as to guarantee a high quality and hard wearing screed flooring. It's crucial that all contaminants such as grease, paint, debris or oil is removed from the floor before pouring any screed, since these can affect the adhesion process that a good quality floor screed needs.

Any cleansing chemicals which are used during this phase should leave no residues, and the floor surface must be allowed to dry out naturally. If screeding over a cement or stone floor any cracks should be mended to stop them from "travelling" through a screed layer and producing deviations on the finished floor surface. A site survey will enable your Netley screeding company to identify this preparation work and complete it before commencing to pour the screeding layer.

Before any screeding can be laid a damp proof membrane (DPM) must be installed to shield the final flooring and screed from moisture damage. Different gauges of polythene sheeting might be used as a DPM and also act as a buffer for the screed and any insulation materials.

An additional air-tight barrier may be necessary if your house is in a location that is regarded as prone to radon gas. A simple airtight membrane could be sufficient in areas with relatively low radon emissions, but in more severe cases there might need to be a more complex ventilation and extraction system to remove any harmful radon gas.

Once the floor base has been properly prepared and all membranes installed, a primer or sealant is then put on. A primer helps with the screed to successfully bond to the base and membranes and different varieties exist according to which type of screed is being used. Devices such as airless sprays will usually be used to apply a primer or sealant, by experienced screeding contractors in Netley sticking to the manufacturer's guidelines.

Under floor heating can now be laid out, installed and tested before screeding is poured. The underfloor heating system will be carefully positioned and secured firmly to insulation panels to avoid potential movement in the course of the screed application. Under floor heating is one of the most effective ways to heat a room and a properly installed system will provide even warmth in all areas of the floor.

If you aren't fitting underfloor heating the screed can now be prepared in situ and laid. Your screeding company will have given you advice on which sort of screed is suitable for your needs, according to your intended use of the room area. Remember that even advanced and quick drying screeds have a minimum of 24 hours before you can walk over any screeded surfaces and at least three days before any floor coverings can be fitted. If you are laying standard or heavy duty screeds the drying time is increased and the manufacturer's guidelines must be adhered to so as to get the best possible finish for your floor.

You can test the SR standard of the finished screeding as soon as it is hard enough to walk on. The basic SR test uses a two metre long straight-edge to check for any fluctuations in the screed surface.

• SR1 - Over the entire floor area, if there aren't any deviations of more than 3 millimetres from the straight-edge, then you have a top specification SR1 standard surface.

• SR2 - If the screeded surface has a deviation from the straight-edge of five millimetres or less it is classified as SR2 level and is the normal standard for commercial and industrial floors.

• SR3 - For a utility area or room where the quality of finish is fairly inconsequential SR3 is the specification and has a deviation measurement of 10mm or less.

There may also be a requirement for a qualified structural engineer to do a soundness test. This test will determine the strength of the screeded surface and the viability for its intended use. A drop hammer test will be conducted at several areas on the screed layer and the results noted. Any screeding that's got point load requirements must be okayed by a certified structural engineer following the BS8204 regulations.

Latex Screeds Netley

When the surface of a floor needs a certain degree of flexibility, it might be better to use a latex screed. Latex screeds come in 2 parts - a bag and a bottle - with a bottle that contains liquid latex, and a bag that contains a cement based smoothing compound. Whereby water is normally used in a screed mix, this is replaced with the latex liquid, making it quicker drying and more flexible than other standard screeds.

This latex compound is used for levelling-out sub-floors in advance of the laying of your chosen decorative covering. Producing a resilient and smooth surface that's perfect for the application of flooring adhesives, this screed is is appropriate for use on subfloors of wood, asphalt, quarry tiles, sand/cement and concrete. This type of latex screed will produce a flexible, crack-free finish, even if there is movement in your subfloor.

When using a "floating" screed, for example when screed is being laid on top of underfloor heating, thicknesses of 50 to 75 millimetres may be required, and latex screeds are not a suitable choice for this purpose.
