Any errors or imperfections in the screeding may cause problems in laying flooring owing to indentations, flat spots, ridges in the floor surface.

A company holding such accreditations shows they have been assessed and trained in using these products and can provide a high quality standard in all aspects of their installation.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - A mixture of sand and cement which is good for everyday domestic use. The standard screed is a mixture of five parts sand to one of cement. The standard flooring screed dries at a rate of one millimetre thickness each day.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The expert's choice for domestic use on top of underfloor heating. This is due to the improved durability and protection against thermal cracking and shrinkage provided by the special fibres within the screed. At around 1mm per day, it has an identical curing rate to standard screed.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Where levels of traffic are expected to be high or heavy loading of the floor is needed, heavy duty screeds deliver maximum durability and strength.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - A cement and latex material which can achieve the highest standard SR1 finish. It's mainly needed to provide a smooth, clean floor over a poor quality or damaged substrate and results in a surface finish onto which all sorts of flooring materials can be laid. They can be as little as 1mm thick, and due to the latex polymers, will still provide high strength.

Polymer Screeds - A high strength flooring solution where a reduced thickness is essential. Owing to their different chemical compositions, polymer screeds have varying setting times which can be verified by studying manufacturer's product guidelines.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If there's a need to use the area in question as quickly as possible a fast drying screed can be employed. Drying at a rate of three to seven millimetres, subject to the mix, they're normally a fibre reinforced screed and are perfect for projects that have tight schedules.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding companies will need to prepare all areas before any other work in order to ensure a hard wearing and quality screed flooring. The existing floor surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned to eradicate any oil, grease, debris and paint which can adversely affect the bond of the screed.

If cleaning products have been used it is important to remove any residues of soap, detergent etc, and leave the surface to dry naturally. It is essential to repair any crevices or cracks in the surface to prevent them being reflected and "travelling" upwards into the newly screeded floor. An on-site survey will enable your Stanmore screeding installer to take note of these preparation areas and finish them before beginning to pour the screeding layer.

A damp proof membrane (DPM) will be put down once the preparation work has been concluded to prevent ground moisture getting into the screeding and floor materials. Different thicknesses of special polythene could be used as a damp proof membrane and also serve as a buffer for the screed and any insulation panels.

If your house is located in an area where radon gas is present an extra barrier layer is necessary to stop radon gas from entering. If radon occurs in severe doses then a full extraction and ventilation system may be installed under the layer of screed which will remove any gases that are seeping in from the ground.

The final phase of the surface preparation process is the spraying or painting of a primer or sealant. Sealers and primers help with the bonding process and are specialist applications specifically designed for the type of screed that's being used. Devices such as airless sprays can be used to apply a sealant or primer, which should be done by experienced screeding companies in Stanmore observing the manufacturer's guidelines.

If you're installing under floor heating, now is the time that it will need to be set out and installed. The wires and heating pipes are securely attached to insulation panels to prevent any movement and make certain that they are positioned correctly. Under floor heating is one of the most efficient ways to heat a room and an expertly installed system will give an even warmth all over the floor.

If you aren't putting in underfloor heating the screed can now be mixed and prepared in situ and poured. Your use of the room will assist your screeding contractor on which form of screed is appropriate for your needs. Bear in mind that even quick drying and advanced screeds have a minimum of 24 hours before you can walk over any screeded surfaces and at least three days before any flooring materials can be applied. Manufacturer's drying guidelines for heavy duty and standard screeds must be observed so as to achieve a quality finish and provide a stable and long lasting floor surface.

Once the screeding has hardened it can be quality checked to verify the SR standard. Using a 2m straight-edge the surface is checked for any deviations, dips and ridges in the surface of the screed.

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

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

• SR3 - If the deviation around the whole space is 10mm or less the screeding quality is categorised as SR3 and is suitable for utility and garage areas.

If your screed has been laid with particular load bearing requirements in mind then a qualified structural engineer will be necessary to conduct tests. Using specialist equipment the engineer will establish the screed surface strength and viability of use in a load bearing setting. The screeding should be subjected to what's known as a "drop hammer test" to measure strength and flexibility at distinct points. The precise testing and measurement tools mean this can only be undertaken by a certified structural engineer observing the British Standards BS8204 guidelines.

Granolithic Screeding Stanmore

Granolithic screeding refers to a kind of flooring that consists of a mixture of cement, sand and aggregate. It is applied in a relatively thin layer and then smoothed to provide a seamless, hard-wearing and durable surface. It is typically used in public, commercial and industrial buildings where there's heavy foot or machinery traffic.

Granolithic screeding is typically used in industrial and commercial buildings as well as in high-traffic areas in residential buildings. It is also commonly used in areas where chemical and abrasion resistance are required. The resulting surface is smooth and hard, which makes it easy to clean and maintain, and provides an outstanding base for other flooring products.

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