It might be necessary, according to the proposed use of the room, for a survey by a structural engineer to conform with building regulations on flex strength, load requirements and point loadings of the screed floor.

Skilled and qualified tradespeople are necessary for a successful outcome and will extend your floor's lifespan by making use of the right type of screed for your room's allocated purpose. Selecting the right screeding materials and the best installation technique is crucial if you want to finish up with a quality and durable finish for your floor surface.

Make sure you get 2 or 3 estimates for your New Milton based screeding project and also ask what standard of finish each quotation is for. For residential homes a quotation will generally be given for an SR (Surface Regularity) standard of SR1 or SR2. Each of the 3 SR levels deliver different standards of finish, with SR1 being the best, with the least amount of deviation over the area. An SR2 or SR3 level may mean there will be ridges or flat spots that may cause issues when laying your final floor surface.

All New Milton screeding companies must adhere to British Standards (BS8204) and should have some form of accreditation from screeding material and equipment manufacturers, e.g. Flowcrete, Gypsol, Cemfloor.

For larger screeding projects in warehouses, hotels, hospitals, shops, schools and factories, specialist commercial screeders in New Milton will be needed.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - A mix of cement and sand which is perfect for everyday residential use. The standard screed is a mixture of five parts sand to one of cement. The standard screed dries at a rate of one millimetre thickness each day.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - Used to produce the highest quality of finish, especially in SR1 levels of screeding, by a latex and cement material. This self-levelling compound provides a smooth and level surface over a damaged floor or rough substrate to enable all flooring materials to be laid. This liquid screed can be laid to a depth of just 1mm, but still provides a high strength base for a wide variety of flooring finishes.

Polymer Screeds - An extremely high strength flooring solution where a reduced thickness is needed. Polymer screeds are made by a number of manufacturers and owing to their varying chemical compositions have specific drying times for each individual product.

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

Fibre Reinforced Screed - Used mostly with under floor heating and is the preferred option in these projects. The greater flexibility and strength offered by the fibres in this screed mix help protect the flooring from thermal shrinkage and cracking. It has a setting rate of 1mm per day.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If you have to progress urgently with the flooring due to time restraints, these screeds dry much faster than standard screeds. The vast majority of the fast drying screeds are of the fibre reinforced kind and are appropriate for a wide variety of projects where the faster curing rate of three to seven millimetres is a big advantage.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding installers will need to prepare the area prior to any other work so as to guarantee a hard wearing and quality screed flooring. Any debris, grease, oil and paint on the original floor level can adversely affect the bonding of the screed, and must be removed.

If cleansing products have been used it's important to remove any remnants of detergent, soap etc, and allow the floor surface to dry naturally. If screeding over a stone or cement floor all cracks should be repaired to prevent them from "travelling" up through the screed layer and producing deviations on the final surface. During an on-site survey your New Milton screeding specialist will establish what preparations are required before starting to work on screeding the floor.

Before the screeding can be laid a damp proof membrane (DPM) will have to be put down to shield the screed and final flooring from dampness. The DPM is made from thick polythene and different layers may be used to act as a moisture barrier for the screed.

Another airtight barrier could be needed if your home or business premises is in a location that's known to be susceptible to radon gas emissions. This can be just a simple airtight membrane, or in severe situations a ventilation and extraction system will need to be installed beneath the floor screed to draw out any influx of radon gas from ground level.

As soon as these steps have been taken the screeders will apply a sealant or primer to the prepared base. Primers help with the bonding process and are specialist applications according to the type of screed being applied. Equipment such as airless sprays will usually be used to apply a sealant or primer, which should be done by professional screeding contractors in New Milton following the manufacturer's guidelines and safety advice.

Before the screeding is laid, any underfloor heating will now be laid out. The heating pipes and cables are firmly mounted on insulation panels to prevent any movement and make sure they're positioned correctly. Under floor heating is one of the most efficient ways to heat a room and a properly installed system should deliver even level of warmth all over the floor.

The screeding can now be mixed and prepared on site and applied to the floor surface. The particular requirements of the room will dictate the form of screeding that is used. Don't forget that even quick drying and advanced screeds have a minimum of 24 hours before you are able to walk over any screeded surface and a minimum 72 hours before any floor coverings can be fitted. If you're laying standard or heavy duty screeds the setting time is increased and the manufacturer's guidelines must be adhered to so as to get the best possible finish to your floor.

The SR standard of your screeding can be checked once it has set sufficiently to be walked upon. The test involves using a 2m long straight-edge laid down upon the surface and any deviations from true are calculated.

  • SR1 - Deviations of 3mm or less being measured over the whole area shows your screed floor to be of the highest quality and is classified as SR1.
  • SR2 - The standard flooring in commercial and industrial builds is classed as SR2 and has a maximum deviation of 5 millimetres across the whole screeded floor.
  • SR3 - SR3 is utility standard where a perfect finish is not required. This level allows for a maximium deviation depth of 10 millimetres.

There might also be a requirement for a structural engineer to carry out a soundness test. The testing will ensure your new screed surface is viable for the load point requirements laid out in the site survey. A "drop hammer test" will be carried out on several areas of the screed and the outcomes noted. Any screeding that has load bearing requirements must be okayed by a certified structural engineer obeying the British Standards BS8204 guidelines.

Latex Floor Screeds New Milton

When the make-up of your floor's surface means that a level of flexibility is necessary, it may be best to use a latex floor screed, as opposed to one with a more rigid finish. Latex screeds usually comprise two parts - a cementitious powder and a latex liquid additive. The latex liquid part actually replaces the water that would typically be used in a screed mix, and is far more flexible and quicker drying than other types of screed.

Prior to the laying of the final decorative surface, this latex compound is used for levelling subfloors. Giving a resilient, smooth surface that's perfect for the application of flooring adhesives, this is is suitable for use on substrate of asphalt, sand/cement, stone tiles, concrete and wood. If there is a bit of movement in the sub-floor this type of latex screed will provide a flexible, crack-free finish on which to lay your final floor coverings.

Latex screeds aren't suitable where "floating" screeds are desired, for instance when an unbonded screed is being laid on the top of a layer of either acoustic or thermal insulation, such as could be the case when you are screeding on top of underfloor heating, and depths of 50 to 65 millimetres may be required.
