FLOOR SCREEDING COMPANIES PORTHLEVEN

A dependable screeding firm in Porthleven will have all the know-how and experience to help you achieve a perfect floor in whichever size room you are renovating. Once your screeding project has been meticulously assessed, they'll be in a position to advise you on the appropriate form of screed your project requires, and how best to apply it.

Your screeding specialist will also inform you if a structural engineer is required for your undertaking, to evaluate any point loadings, flex strength and load bearing that your flooring might need to conform with current building regulations and British Standards.

The training and skills that a qualified screeding contractor brings to your project will guarantee a successful result and help to prolong the lifespan of your floor or floors. Choosing the appropriate screeding materials and the method of installation is vital if you want to finish up with a durable and quality finish for your floor surface.

Before deciding on a floor screeding contractor from the many operating in the Porthleven area, ask to what standard of finish they're basing their quotation, and also make sure you get two or three quotes. For domestic properties an estimate will usually be given for a Surface Regularity (SR) level of SR1 or SR2. SR1 is the highest level, and while SR2 and SR3 might be cheaper at first glance, they do not guarantee a perfectly even or flat surface. An SR2 or SR3 standard could mean there will be flat spots or ridges that might cause issues when laying your final floor surface.

The regulations and guidelines set out in in the British Standards BS8204 have to be followed by all Porthleven floor screeding contractors and they should also be certified by the manufacturers of any specialist screeding materials (Gypsol, Cemfloor, Flowcrete etc.) to prove their competence and safe working practices. This accreditation scheme demonstrates a contractor's performance and training in the usage of a manufacturer's product.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Widely used in domestic projects where the blend of sand and cement is good for regular footfall use. The standard screed is a mixture of 5 parts sand to 1 of cement. After laying a standard flooring screed dries out at a rate of just 1mm/day.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - A cement and latex solution which can produce the highest standard SR1 finish. Primarily used to finish off a poor substrate level or damaged floor in order to lay a new flooring surface, such as tiling on top of it. They can be as little as 1mm in depth, and due to the latex polymers, will still provide a high strength finish.

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

Fast Drying and Advanced Drying Screeds - If you need to use the area in question as soon as possible a fast drying screed can be employed. These are normally a fibre reinforced kind of screed which can dry out at a rate of between 3-7mm/day per day and are used in time critical projects.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The expert's choice for residential use over the top of underfloor heating. This is because of the improved strength and protection against thermal shrinkage and cracking provided by the fibres within the screed mix. At around one millimetre per day, it has a similar setting rate to standard floor screed.

Polymer Screeds - Provides a high level of strength with a reduced thickness. The drying times for these vary as outlined by product guidelines.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To ensure that the screeding is of a high quality finish that's hard wearing and durable, time should be devoted to fully preparing the area before any screed is poured. It is vital that all contaminants such as oil, paint, loose debris or grease is eradicated from the floor surface before pouring any screed, because these can affect the adhesion capability that a good quality floor screed requires.

Any cleaning chemicals used in this phase should leave no residues, and the floor surface must be allowed to dry by itself naturally. If screeding over a stone or cement floor then all cracks should be repaired to stop them from "travelling" through a screed layer and resulting in deviations on the finished surface. An on-site survey will enable the screeding installer to highlight these preparation areas and complete them before commencing to pour the screeding.

Before the screeding can be poured a DPM (damp proof membrane) must be installed to shield the final flooring and screed from moisture damage. There could be two or three layers of varying thickness polythene to act as barriers between the insulation layer and screed.

An additional air-tight barrier might be needed if your property is in a location that is known to be susceptible to radon. If radon gas is present in severe doses then a full ventilation system may be installed underneath the layer of screed which will remove any gases that are seeping in from ground level.

Once the base has been properly prepared and all membranes installed, a sealant or primer is then applied. Primers and sealers help with the bonding process and are specialist applications according to the kind of screed being used. Devices such as airless sprays can be used to apply a primer or sealant, which should be done by professional screeding contractors in Porthleven observing the manufacturer's guidelines and safety advice.

If required, this is the time that underfloor heating can be installed and laid out in the correct manner. The under floor heating system will be carefully positioned and mounted firmly on insulation panels to stop potential movement in the course of the screed installation process. Warmth is spread evenly across a floor area in a professionally fitted under floor heating system, and along with it being an effective choice of heating, it is an excellent choice for many Porthleven home restoration projects.

Needless to say, if you aren't fitting under floor heating, you can just skip this step and get on with applying the screeding. Your proposed use of the room will help the screeding company on which kind of floor screed is appropriate for your requirements. After the pouring of the screed there'll be a minimum twenty four hours (for advanced and quick drying screeds) before you're able to walk on the surface, and a 72 hour minimum curing period before any floor covering installations. Such periods will be longer for standard and heavy duty screeds and the manufacture's product guidelines must be followed to achieve the optimum finish and durability of the floor.

Once the screeding has set it can be quality checked to determine the SR standard. Using a 2 mtr straight-edge the floor surface is examined for any deviations, dips and ridges in the screed surface.

• SR1 - Over the entire screed area, if there aren't any deviations of more than 3 millimetres from the straight-edge, you've got a top quality SR1 level surface.

• SR2 - If the floor deviates from the straight edge by 5mm or less it is SR2 level and is the normal standard for commercial and industrial floors.

• SR3 - SR3 is utility standard where a perfect quality finish is not needed. This level allows for a maximium deviation depth of ten millimetres.

If you need to check the screed floor for load bearing, a structural engineer is needed to conduct the testing. This assessment will ascertain the overall strength of the screed surface and its suitability for the proposed use. This can include a "drop hammer test" which assesses various aspects of the strength and flexibility of the screed. Only certified structural engineers following the BS8204 guidelines are allowed to perform these tests and sign off on the structural integrity of the screeding.

Multi-Coloured Floor Screeds

Coloured floor screeds are a flooring material that is frequently used in commercial or industrial settings. By mixing coloured resins, aggregates, and sealants, these screeds are produced, resulting in a one-of-a-kind, decorative finish. The ability to withstand continuous wear and tear and provide a non-slip surface make them a popular choice for areas with heavy foot traffic or machinery.

Designers and architects have the freedom to create custom flooring designs that meet their particular project requirements by selecting the aggregates' size, shape and colour in multi-coloured screeds. Overall, multi-coloured floor screeds provide both versatility and practicality as a flooring solution, making them a great option to add style and function to any commercial or industrial space.
