Floor Screeding Padstow Cornwall (PL28): If you are renovating a property or cellar, are aiming to install underfloor heating or have a damaged or uneven floor, then you'll need to find a specialist floor screeding company to help you. Floor screeding gives a smooth, level finish to a basic sub-base floor, and allows you to lay a suitable flooring material, (boards, carpets, tiles etc) over it. If you would like your floors to last a long time then floor screeding is one of the most important factors in any renovation or building project.

FLOOR SCREEDING EXPERTS PADSTOW

Providing an excellent level of service, a genuine floor screeding company in Padstow will have the appropriate know-how, skills and equipment, regardless how small or large the room is that you need to be levelled. After evaluating your project they will advise you on the optimal choice of screeding and which method of applying it is most appropriate for your circumstances.

It may be a requirement, depending on the intended use of the space, for a structural engineering survey to conform to building regulations on load bearing, point loadings and flex strength of the screed floor.

Qualified and skilled tradespeople are essential to a successful outcome and will extend the life of your floor through the use of the correct form of screed for your room's anticipated purpose. There are numerous kinds of screeding and selecting the appropriate mix and installation approach is vital if you are to achieve a high quality floor that's fit for purpose and long-lasting.

There are numerous screeding contractors in the Padstow area so if possible get multiple quotes for your screeding project before selecting a company and know to what standard of finish is it for. The price quote should be based on what is called the SR, or Surface Regularity number. SR2 and SR3 could be less expensive options, although the finished floor surface may have errors and deviations, whilst SR1 guarantees a pretty much perfect quality of finish. Any errors in the screeding may cause issues with laying flooring due to ridges, flat spots, indentations in the floor surface.

British Standards BS8204 lays down the regulations and guidelines that all Padstow screeding companies must follow, and if applying specialist screeding solutions, (Cemfloor, Flowcrete, Gypsol etc), they ought to be certified by the manufacturers as being trained and skilled in their use. This accreditation scheme showcases a firm's training and performance in the application of a manufacturer's merchandise.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - This is acceptable for everyday residential use and is a combination of cement and sand. The ratios involved in standard screeds are 5 parts sand to 1 part cement. After being laid a standard screed sets at a rate of just 1mm/day.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - A screed that's designed for high load and heavy traffic areas where the maximum possible strength and durability is necessary.

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - If you have to press ahead urgently with the work due to time constraints, this screed dries more speedily than standard flooring screeds. Drying at a rate of 3-7mm, subject to the specialised mix, they're normally a fibre reinforced type of screed and are ideal for projects that have tight schedules.

Polymer Screeds - A high strength flooring solution where a reduced thickness is required. The drying times for these vary according to proprietary product guidelines.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - A latex and cement formula which can achieve the highest standard SR1 finish. It's mainly needed to produce a high quality floor over the top of a poor quality or damaged substrate and results in a surface onto which all sorts of flooring materials can be laid. Even with a depth of only one millimetre, the latex polymers within the screed provide a high strength surface for a wide variety of uses.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The favoured option where underfloor heating is being installed in domestic homes in Padstow. The increased flexibility and strength provided by the special fibres in the screed help protect the resulting floor from thermal shrinkage and cracking. It sets at the same rate as a standard screed, at about 1mm per day.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To enable the screeding to be of a high quality finish which is hard wearing and durable, time should be spent on carefully preparing the area prior to any screeding material being poured. It's vital that any contaminants such as loose debris, oil, paint or grease is removed from the floor surface before laying any screed, because these can affect the bonding capability that a quality floor screed demands.

Any cleaning products that are used in this process shouldn't leave any residues, and the floor base must be permitted to dry by itself naturally. It is essential to fix any cracks or crevices in the surface to stop them being mirrored and "travelling" upwards into the newly screeded floor. During a site survey your Padstow screeding contractor will ascertain what preparation work is necessary before starting to work on the screeding.

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

If the area where you live is at risk from radon gas then an additional barrier is needed to stop the gas from entering from the ground. If radon is present in severe doses then a full ventilation system may be installed underneath the screed which will extract any gases that could seep in from ground level.

The final step of the surface preparation process is the spraying or painting of a primer or sealer. Primers and sealers help with the bonding process and are specialist applications according to the kind of screed that is being applied. Custom-made equipment such as airless sprays are used to apply a primer or sealant, which should be done by professional screeding companies in Padstow sticking to the manufacturer's guidelines and safety advice.

If you are installing underfloor heating, now is the time that it will need to be properly laid out and installed. The wires and heating pipes are firmly attached to insulation panels to stop any movement and make sure that they're held in the correct position. Underfloor heating is one of the most efficient ways to heat a room and a professionally installed system should give an even warmth across the floor area.

Of course, if you are not fitting under floor heating, you can just bypass this stage and apply the screed. Your intended use of the room will assist the screeding company on which type of screed is right for your needs. Don't forget that even quick drying and advanced screeds have a minimum of 24 hours before you are able to walk on any laid surface and at least 3 days before any floor coverings can be laid. If you are laying standard or heavy duty screeds the setting time is longer and you should follow the manufacturer's guidelines so as to get the best possible finish for your floor.

As soon as the screed has set it can be quality checked to determine its SR level. Through the use of a 2 mtr straight-edge the surface is checked for any deviations, dips and ridges in the screed surface.

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

• SR2 - SR2 is for normal standard floors in industrial and commercial projects and can deviate from the straight-edge by as much as five millimetres.

• SR3 - If the deviation is 10 millimetres or less the quality of the screeding is classed as SR3 and is suitable for utility and garage areas.

If your screed has been laid with specific loading in mind then a structural engineer will be needed to carry out these soundness tests. Using specialised equipment the engineer will ascertain the screeding strength and suitability of use in a load bearing environment. This can include a drop hammer test which assesses various aspects of the strength and flexibility of the screed. The precise measurement and testing tools involved mean that this can only be undertaken by a trained structural engineer heeding the guidelines of BS8204.

Granolithic Screeding

Granolithic screeding is an extremely popular flooring material which is frequently used in heavy-duty environments because of its durability and strength. It's made from a mixture of cement, aggregate, sand, and sometimes pigments, which are combined to form a mortar-like mixture. The mixture is poured onto the floor and then smoothed out to a level surface.

The resulting flooring is hard-wearing, easy to clean and slip-resistant, making it ideal for use in areas with high foot traffic, such as schools, shopping centres and factories.

Granolithic screeding is typically applied over a concrete sub-base, and the surface is typically treated with a curing compound to ensure it sets correctly. Once cured, it creates a seamless floor with a hard, smooth surface that is resistant to wear and tear. It is also resistant to water and chemicals, which makes it well suited for use in environments where there is a chance of spills or exposure to hazardous materials.
