TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - Widely used in domestic projects where the blend of sand and cement is perfect for standard footfall use. The ratios involved in standard screeds are 5 parts sand to 1 part cement. The standard screed will dry at a rate of 1mm thickness each day.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Designed for maximum strength and durability in areas where traffic is expected to be high or specific loading of the floor base is required.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - Mostly used with underfloor heating systems and is the suggested option in such projects. The special fibres in this screed increase overall durability and strength while also protecting against thermal shrinkage and cracking. At roughly 1mm per day, it has a similar curing rate to standard floor screed.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - As the name suggest, this screed dries at a quicker rate and allows you to use the floor area much faster. The majority of the fast drying screeds are fibre reinforced and are suitable for a wide array of projects where the speedier drying rate of three to seven millimetres is advantageous.

Polymer Screeds - A high strength flooring solution where a reduced screed thickness is required. Polymer screeds are available from a number of manufacturers and because of their varying chemical compositions have specific curing times for each individual product.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - When a high standard of finish is necessary this formula of latex and cement is used to create SR1 quality floor screeding. The self-levelling compound provides a clean and smooth surface over a rough substrate or damaged floor to allow all forms of flooring materials to be laid. The liquid screed can be poured to a depth of only 1mm, but will still provide a high strength base for a varied selection of flooring finishes.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding companies will have to carefully prepare all areas prior to any other work so as to ensure a hard wearing and quality screed flooring. The existing floor surfaces should be cleaned to remove any paint, debris, grease and oil which can adversely affect the adhesion of the screeding.

If cleansing products were used it's important to remove any remnants of detergent or soap, and leave the floor surface to dry naturally. At this stage cracks need to be repaired because these can travel up through a laid screed and be reflected in the completed floor surface. During a site survey your Rolleston-on-Dove screeding company will be able to see what preparation work is required before starting to work on the actual screeding.

To shield the flooring materials and screeding layer from dampness rising up through the ground, a damp proof membrane (DPM) will have to be installed. Different gauges of specialised polythene could be used as a damp proof membrane and also serve as a barrier for the screed and any insulation materials.

A further air-tight barrier could be required if your property is in an area that is known to be susceptible to radon gas. A simple air-tight membrane might be suitable in places with low radon measurements, but in more extreme situations there may have to be a more complex ventilation and extraction system to take away any harmful radon.

As soon as the base has been prepared and any DPMs installed, a sealer or primer is then put on. A primer helps with the screed bonding process to the base and different types exist depending on which screed type is being applied. Owing to their specialist nature, only qualified screeding specialists in Rolleston-on-Dove should be entrusted with using them safely and correctly and through the use of equipment that is made for the task.

Now is the time that under floor heating can be installed and laid out in the correct way. The cables and heating pipes are firmly mounted on insulation panels to prevent any movement and make certain they are positioned correctly. When expertly installed an underfloor heating system is an effective way to warm a room and high quality screed retains its heat, generating an even heat right across the floor surface.

The screeding can now be mixed and prepared in situ and spread onto the floor base. Your use of the room will assist your screeding contractor on what form of floor screed is appropriate for your needs. After the pouring of the screed there'll be a minimum twenty four hours (for advanced and quick drying screeds) before you can walk upon the surface, and a 72 hour minimum setting period before the laying of any flooring materials. If you are aiming to end up with a properly finished and durable floor surface you must follow the manufacturer's guidelines with regards to heavy duty and standard screeds where this time period will be longer.

As soon as the screeding has hardened it can be checked for quality to determine its SR level. Using a 2m straight-edge the surface is checked for any ridges, deviations and dips in the screed surface.

• SR1 - Deviations of 3 millimetres or less as measured over the whole floor area shows your screed to be of the best quality and is categorised 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 floor surface.

• SR3 - SR3 is utility standard where a quality finish isn't required. This level can have a maximum permissible deviation of ten millimetres.

There might also be a requirement for a structural engineer to carry out a soundness test. This test will determine the strength of the screeding and the suitability for its proposed use. The screeding could be subjected to what's known as a "drop hammer test" to determine flexibility and strength at different points. Any screeding that has point load requirements must be sanctioned by a certified structural engineer obeying the British Standards BS8204 regulations.

Latex Screeds

When the surface of a floor needs a certain amount of flexibility, it may be better to use a latex screeding. Latex floor screed comes in two parts, a bottle and a bag, with the bag containing a cement powder, and a bottle that contains a liquid latex mixture. The liquid latex additive replaces the water which is used in normal screeds, meaning that it is quicker drying and more flexible.

This latex compound is used for levelling subfloors prior to the installation of the final decorative surface. Giving a smooth and durable surface that's ideal for the application of flooring adhesives, this screeding is is appropriate for use on subfloors of concrete, asphalt, wood, sand/cement and stone tiles. Even when there happens to be a bit of movement on your sub-floor, this type of screeding will provide a crack-free, flexible finish.

When using a "floating" screed, for example when screeding is being laid over underfloor heating, thicknesses of 50-75mm may be necessary, and latex floor screeds are not a suitable choice in this case.

Granolithic Screeding

Granolithic screeding is a process of creating a smooth and even surface for floor coverings like tiles or carpets. It involves mixing sand, cement and aggregate to form a mixture, which is then applied to a concrete base. The mixture is levelled with a straight edge to give it a smooth surface.

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

The granolithic screeding process involves a number of steps, including preparing the concrete base, blending of the screed mixture, laying of the mixture, and curing of the screed. Proper mixing, application and curing methods are vital to ensure the durability and strength of the finished surface. Furthermore, the screed should be allowed to cure fully before any flooring materials are installed on top of it.... READ MORE.
