To guarantee a durable and quality finish to the entire floor surface, screeding is an essential procedure.

FLOOR SCREEDING COMPANIES PETERHEAD

A dependable floor screeding specialist in Peterhead will have experience and know-how to help you achieve a perfect floor in whichever shape or size of room you are working on. After evaluating your project they will give you advice on the perfect choice of screed and which technique for applying it is most suitable for your circumstances.

They will likewise assess if a structural engineer is necessary to ensure that any flex strength, load bearing and point loadings are followed as set out in building and construction regulations.

The training and skills that a certified screeding contractor brings to your project should guarantee a successful outcome and help to extend the lifetime of your floor or floors. There are many different kinds of floor screeding and choosing the correct mix and installation process is critical if you are to create a quality floor that is both fit for purpose and long-lasting.

There are many screeding specialists in and around Peterhead so try to get multiple estimates for your screeding project before choosing a contractor and know to what standard of finish it's for. The SR (Surface Regularity) finish is the figure to look for when receiving an estimate from your Peterhead screeding contractor. Each of the three SR levels offer different levels of finish, with SR1 being the best, with the least amount of deviation over the area. Any imperfections in the screeding (as might occur with SR2 or SR3) can cause issues with laying flooring due to flat spots, indentations, ridges in the floor surface.

British Standards BS8204 lays out the guidelines and regulations that all Peterhead screeding companies are required to follow, and if applying specialist screeding solutions, (Gypsol, Cemfloor, Flowcrete etc), they must be certified by the manufacturers as being trained and skilled in their use. This accreditation scheme highlights a contractor's training and high quality performance in the use of a manufacturer's product.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Used in residential flooring projects where the mixture of sand and cement is okay for normal floor traffic usage. The ratios involved are 5 parts sand to 1 part cement. After laying a standard screed sets at a rate of 1mm/day.

Polymer Screeds - Provides an extremely high level of strength with a lower thickness. The setting times for these vary according to proprietary product guidelines.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Made for maximum strength and durability in areas where traffic is expected to be high or heavy loading on the floor is needed.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - As the name would suggest, this screed dries quickly and allows you to use the floor area much sooner. The majority of the fast drying screeds are fibre reinforced and are ideal for a wide range of flooring projects where the faster drying rate of three to seven millimetres is a welcome advantage.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - Used to provide a high quality finish, especially where SR1 levels are necessary, by a latex and cement mixture. The self-levelling compound provides a clean and level surface over a rough substrate or damaged floor to enable all flooring materials to be laid. Even with a depth of 1mm, the latex polymers within the screed provide a high strength surface for a wide variety of uses.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The favoured choice by professional installers for use in combination with under floor heating systems. The improved strength and flexibility provided by the fibres in the screed help protect the resulting floor from thermal shrinkage and cracking. It dries out at the same rate as a standard screed, at about 1mm per day.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Preparation is crucial for a quality finished screed surface that will be durable and hard wearing. Any paint, grease, oil and debris on the existing floor surface can affect the bonding of the screed, and should be removed.

If any cleaning products are used in this process it is vital to ensure that no residues of detergents or soaps are left on the floor surface and it's allowed to dry out naturally. It's essential to mend any crevices or cracks in the surface to stop them being mirrored and "travelling" up into your newly screeded floor. A competent Peterhead screeding installer will take note of such issues during the site survey and make sure that all preparations are completed before moving on to the next steps in the screeding process.

A damp proof membrane (DPM) will be applied after the preparation work has been completed to prevent ground dampness affecting the screed and floor materials. Different gauges of specialised polythene might be used as a DPM and also serve as a buffer for the screed and any insulation materials.

If your house is situated in a place where radon is present a supplementary barrier layer is needed to prevent radon gas from entering. This could be just a simple air-tight membrane, or in severe instances a ventilation system is installed under the screeding to draw out any inflow of radon gas from the ground.

As soon as these steps have been taken the screeders will put on a sealant or primer to the prepared base surface. These primers and sealers will make certain that the screed bonds successfully to the base and help produce a good quality finished floor. Equipment such as airless sprays can be used to apply a sealant or primer, which should be done by qualified screeding contractors in Peterhead observing the manufacturer's guidelines and safety advice.

Under floor heating can now be laid out, installed and checked before the screed is applied. The underfloor heating system will be carefully positioned and firmly attached to insulation panels to prevent potential movement during screed installation process. Warmth is spread evenly across a floor area in a skillfully fitted underfloor heating system, and with it being an effective choice of heating, it is an ideal choice for most Peterhead renovation projects.

Naturally, if you aren't fitting under floor heating, you can just ignore this step and apply the screeding. The particular requirements of the room will determine the sort of screeding that's used. After the pouring of the screed there will be a minimum 24 hours (for quick drying and advanced screeds) before you're able to walk on the surface, and a 72 hrs minimum curing period before the laying of any flooring materials. If you are looking to wind up with a nicely finished and long-lasting floor surface you should stick to the manufacturer's guidelines with regards to heavy duty and standard screeds where the waiting period will be increased.

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

• SR1 - SR1 is the highest specification and allows just three millimetres of disparity from the straight-edge.

• SR2 - SR2 is for normal standard industrial and commercial floors and can deviate from the straight-edge by as much as 5mm.

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

If you require load bearing checks, a qualified structural engineer is needed to conduct the tests. This assessment will determine the overall strength of the screeded surface and its suitability for the proposed use. This will include a drop hammer test which records specific data on the flexibility and strength of the screed. Only certified structural engineers obeying the BS8204 guidelines are allowed to conduct these testing and sign off on the structural safety of a screed floor.
