Floor Screeding Tring

Floor Screeding Tring Hertfordshire (HP23): If you have a damaged or uneven floor, are hoping to install under floor heating or are restoring a property or basement, then you will need to find a professional floor screeding contractor to assist you. Before it is possible to lay a final floor covering, whether it's carpet, wood or tile, the floor base should be as flat as possible; which is why screeding a floor is sometimes essential. The screeding is an important procedure to guarantee a durable and quality finish to the entire floor surface.

FLOOR SCREEDING COMPANIES TRING

Having all of the know-how and experience to help you achieve a perfect floor in whatever shape or size of room you are working on, a good floor screeding company in Tring is the ideal choice for your screeding task. Once your screeding project has been carefully assessed, they will be in a position to inform you of the right type of screed your project needs, and how best to apply and install it.

It may be necessary, according to the proposed use of the space, for a survey by a structural engineer to conform with building regulations on flex strength, load requirements and point loadings of the screed floor.

The training and skills that a qualified screeding specialist brings to your project should guarantee a successful result and help to extend the lifetime of your flooring. A correct blend of screed and the methods used in laying it are also critical to guarantee the final intergrity of your floor.

There are many screeding contractors in the Tring area so try to get multiple quotes for your floor screeding project before selecting a contractor and know to what standard of finish it's for. The SR (Surface Regularity) finish is the figure to keep your eye on when reviewing an estimate from your Tring screeding contractor. SR2 and SR3 will be cheaper options, however the floor screeding finish might have errors and deviations, whilst SR1 guarantees a perfect quality of finish. This could mean that you might have to fix any patches that might cause problems when putting down your final flooring solution.

The regulations laid down in the British Standards BS8204 must be observed by any Tring floor screeding company and they must also be approved by the manufacturers of any specialist screeding materials (Flowcrete, Gypsol, Cemfloor etc.) to substantiate their safe working practices and competence. A company holding accreditations demonstrates that they've been trained and assessed in using these screeding products and can offer a high quality standard in all areas of their installation.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - This is perfect for basic domestic use and is a mixture of cement and sand. This mix comprises a five to one ratio of sand to cement. Once its been laid this 5:1 ratio dries at a rate of 1mm per day.

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

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - A latex and cement solution which can produce the highest standard SR1 finish. It is mostly used to produce a smooth, clean floor over a poor quality or damaged substrate and enables all types of flooring materials to be used. This liquid screed can be laid to a depth of only one millimetre, but will still provide a high strength surface to take a selection of flooring finishes.

Polymer Screeds - When a decreased thickness of floor is required on account of construction factors, a polymer screed provides a high strength solution to the problem. Maker's guidelines for curing times differ across the various product ranges.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The professional's choice for domestic use on top of underfloor heating. This is due to the improved strength and protection against thermal cracking and shrinkage offered by the fibres within the screed mix. It sets at an identical rate to a standard screed of one millimetre per day.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If there is a need to press ahead urgently with the flooring because of time constraints, these screeds dry much faster than standard flooring screeds. The majority of the fast drying screeds are of the fibre reinforced kind and are suitable for a wide variety of projects where the swifter drying rate of 3-7mm is a big advantage.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To make certain that the screeding is of a good quality finish that's hard wearing and durable, time should be devoted to preparing the area before any screed is laid. It's important that any contaminants such as oil, debris, paint or grease is eradicated from the floor before laying any screed, as these can affect the adhesion process that a quality floor screed demands.

If cleansing products were used it's vital to remove any remnants of detergent or soap, and leave the floor surface to dry naturally. If screeding over a stone or cement floor any cracks should be mended to stop them from "travelling" up through a screed layer and resulting in deviations on the finished surface. During a site survey the screeding installer will notice what preparation work is required before starting to work on the actual screeding.

A damp proof membrane (DPM) will be put down after the preparation work has been completed to stop ground moisture affecting the screeding and floor materials. Different thicknesses of special polythene could be used as a DPM and also act as a barrier for the screed and any insulation material.

An additional airtight barrier might be needed if your house is in a location which is known to be prone to radon. This could be as simple as an air-tight membrane, or in severe situations a ventilation system is installed under the floor screed to extract any inflow of air and gas from the ground.

As soon as the base has been prepared and any membranes installed, a primer or sealer is then applied. A primer assists in the screed to successfully bond to the base surface and different varieties exist according to which type of screed is being used. On account of their special nature, only experienced screeding contractors in Tring should be entrusted with using them safely and correctly and using bespoke equipment for the task.

If you are going to be installing under floor heating, now is the time that it will need to be correctly set out and installed. The under floor heating system is laid out in the correct pattern and mounted firmly on insulation panels to avoid potential movement during screed pouring. When properly installed an under floor heating system is an effective way to warm up a room and high quality screeding retains its heat, generating an even level of warmth across the floor surface.

The screed can now be prepared on site and poured onto the floor surface. Your screeding specialist will give you advice on which screed type is suitable for your requirements, according to your intended use of the room. After the pouring of the screed there'll be a minimum 24 hours (for quick drying and advanced screeds) before you are able to walk upon the surface, and a seventy two hours minimum curing period for any floor material installations. Manufacturer's drying guidelines for standard and heavy duty screeds should be observed in order to achieve a quality finish and provide an even and stable floor surface.

The SR standard of your screed can be verified once it's set sufficiently to be stepped onto. The standard SR test uses a 2 metre straight edge to check for any fluctuations in the floor surface.

• SR1 - Deviations of 3 millimetres or less as measured across the whole floor area shows your screeding to be of the highest quality and is classified as SR1.

• SR2 - If the screed has a deviation from the straight-edge of 5 millimetres or less it is classified as SR2 level and is the standard for industrial and commercial projects.

• SR3 - If the deviation is 10 millimetres or less the screeding quality is specified as SR3 and is fine for garage and utility areas.

If you need load bearing checks, a qualified structural engineer is needed to conduct the testing. The assessment will make certain that your new screed is viable for the load bearing requirements laid out in the original site survey. The screed will be subjected to a "drop hammer test" to measure flexibility and strength at different points. The precise measurement and testing tools needed mean this can only be undertaken by a certified structural engineer following the guidelines of the British Standards BS8204.

Latex Screed Tring

When a bit of flexibility is needed in a floor's surface you might find that using a latex screeding will be an advantage. Latex floor screed comes in 2 parts, a bottle and a bag, with the bag containing a cemetitious powder, and the bottle containing a liquid latex additive. The liquid latex additive takes the place of the water which is used in normal screeds, making it more flexible and quicker drying.

Before the installation of the final decorative surface, this latex compound is used for levelling subfloors. Giving a durable, smooth surface that is ideal for the application of adhesives, this screeding is is appropriate for use on substrate of concrete, wood, sand/cement, quarry tiles and asphalt. If there's any movement in the subfloor this type of latex screed will provide a flexible, crack-free finish on which to lay your chosen floor coverings.

When installing a "floating" screed, for example when an unbonded screed is being laid over a membrane of acoustic or thermal insulation, thicknesses of 50mm-75mm may be necessary, and latex screeds aren't suitable for this purpose.
