SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To enable the screeding to be of a good quality finish that is hard wearing and durable, time must be spent on carefully preparing the area before any screeding material is laid. It's crucial that any contaminants such as paint, grease, debris or oil is eradicated from the base before laying any screed, since these can affect the adhesion capability that a quality floor screed demands.

If any cleaning products were used during this stage it is vital to ensure that no residues of detergents, soaps or other cleaning products are left on the floor surface and it's permitted to dry out naturally. If screeding over a cement or stone floor any cracks should be repaired to prevent them from "travelling" up through the screed layer and resulting in deviations on the final floor surface. A site survey will allow your Pinchbeck screeding company to highlight this preparation work and complete it before starting to apply the screed layer.

To protect the flooring materials and screed layer from moisture rising up through the ground, a damp proof membrane (DPM) must be installed. There could be two or three layers of varying thicknesses of polythene to act as barriers between the screed and the insulation layer.

If the area where you live is susceptible to radon then an additional barrier is necessary to stop this harmful gas from entering from the ground. This could be as simple as an airtight membrane, or in more serious cases a ventilation and extraction system will be installed underneath the screed to draw out any inflow of radon gas from ground level.

The final stage of the surface preparation process is the spraying or painting of a sealant or primer. A primer assists in the screed bonding process to the base surface and different varieties exist according to which type of screed is being applied. These products need experienced contractors to apply them in the correct proportions by using airless sprays and other tailor-made equipment.

If you're installing underfloor heating, now is the time that it will need to be laid out and installed. The cabling and heating pipes are securely mounted on insulation panels to prevent any movement and ensure they are positioned correctly. Warmth will be spread evenly across the floor in a skillfully fitted under floor heating system, and coupled with it being an efficient method of heating, it's an ideal choice for the majority of Pinchbeck renovation projects.

The screeding can now be mixed and prepared on site and poured onto the base surface. Your use of the room will help the screeding company on what form of screed is right for your needs. For quick drying screeds there'll be at least a twenty four hour delay before it is able to be walked over, and a further Three days minimum before any flooring material can be fitted. Manufacturer's drying instructions for standard and heavy duty screeds should be observed so as to achieve a quality finish and provide an even and stable floor surface.

You can check the SR level of the completed screeding once it is hardened enough to walk on. The test involves the use of a 2 metre long straight-edge laid on the floor surface and any fluctuations from true are measured.

  • SR1 - Over the whole floor area, if there aren't any disparities greater than 3 millimetres from the straight-edge, then you have a top level SR1 standard surface.
  • SR2 - The standard flooring in commercial and industrial builds is normally SR2 and has a maximum deviation of 5 millimetres across the entire floor.
  • SR3 - SR3 is basic utility standard where a perfect quality finish isn't needed. This classification allows for a maximium deviation depth of ten millimetres.

If your screed floor has been installed with particular loading in mind then a structural engineer is going to be needed to carry out these soundness tests. Using specialist equipment the structural engineer will assess the screeded surface strength and its suitability for use in a load bearing setting. A drop hammer test will be carried out on different areas of the screed and the outcomes recorded. Any screed flooring that's got point load requirements must be okayed by a competent structural engineer heeding the British Standards BS8204 guidelines.

Latex Floor Screed Pinchbeck

When a degree of flexibility is required in a floor's surface you might find that the employment of a latex floor screed will be an advantage. Latex floor screeds come in 2 parts - a bottle and a bag - with a bottle that contains liquid latex, and a bag that contains a cement powder. Where water is normally used in a screed mix, this is replaced with the liquid latex, which makes it quicker drying and more flexible than other standard screeds.

This latex screed is used to level-out a subfloor before the final decorative surface is installed. Appropriate for sub-floors of asphalt, sand/cement, concrete, wood and stone tiles, this gives a perfect surface for the application of adhesives that's smooth and resilient. This type of floor screed will produce a crack-free, flexible finish, even if there is movement in your subfloor.

With "floating" screeds, for example when an unbonded screed is being laid on top of a layer of either thermal or acoustic insulation, latex screeds will not be a suitable choice. Floating screeds with a depth of 50 to 65 millimetres are often used on top of underfloor heating.
