FLOOR SCREEDING CONTRACTORS WEDNESBURY

A reliable screeding specialist in Wednesbury will have all the experience and knowledge to help you achieve a perfectly finished floor in whichever shape or size of room you're renovating. They'll assess your project and verify the correct sort of screed you require and the best technique for applying it.

They will likewise assess if a structural engineer is necessary to make sure that any point loadings, flex strength and load requirements are satisfied as laid down in construction and building regulations.

Bringing in a skilled and highly trained specialist will ensure that you use the proper form of screed for the room's allocated usage and get the optimum lifespan out of your floor. There are numerous kinds of floor screeding and selecting the correct mix and laying method is vital to achieve a top quality floor that's fit for purpose and hard-wearing.

Make certain you get 2 or 3 estimates for your Wednesbury based floor screeding project and also ask to what standard you are getting each quote. The price quote should be based on what is known as the SR, or Surface Regularity figure. SR2 and SR3 could be less costly options, but the finished floor surface may have deviations and errors, whilst SR1 guarantees a pretty much perfect finish. This could mean that you might have to fix any patches that could cause problems when laying your final flooring material.

Every Wednesbury screeding company has to follow British Standards (BS8204) and should have some form of accreditation from the manufacturers of specialised screeding equipment and materials, for instance Cemfloor, Flowcrete, Gypsol. This accreditation program showcases a firm's high quality performance and training in the usage of a manufacturer's products.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - A blend of cement and sand which is okay for standard domestic use. This mix uses a 5:1 ratio of sand to cement. Once it has been laid this 5:1 ratio dries at a rate of one millimetre per day.

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

Polymer Screeds - When a decreased thickness of floor is needed due to building requirements, a polymer screed offers a high strength resolution to this problem. Polymer screeds are available from a number of screed manufacturers and due to their diverse chemical compositions have specific setting times for each product.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - If you have to use the floor as quickly as possible a fast drying screed might be a good choice. The majority of the fast drying screeds are fibre reinforced and are suitable for a whole host of flooring projects where the speedier drying rate of 3-7mm is a welcome advantage.

Liquid or Self-Levelling Screeds - A cement and latex formula which can achieve the highest standard SR1 finish. This is mostly used to produce a smooth, level floor over the top of a damaged or poor quality substrate and results in a finish onto which all sorts of flooring materials can be laid. The liquid screed can be laid to a thickness of only one millimetre, but still provides a strong surface to take a varied selection of flooring materials.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The expert's choice for residential use on top of under floor heating. The greater strength and flex offered by the fibres within the screed help protect the flooring from thermal cracking and shrinkage. It dries out at the same rate as a standard screed, at about 1mm per day.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

Screeding installers will need to prepare the area before any other work in order to guarantee a hard wearing and quality screed flooring. Any paint, oil, grease and debris on the existing floor level can affect the bonding of the screed, and must be eradicated.

If cleansing products have been used it's important to remove any residues of soap etc, and leave the surface to dry naturally. If screeding over a cement or stone floor any cracks should be repaired to stop them from "travelling" through a screed layer and causing imperfections on the finished surface. A trustworthy Wednesbury screeding installer will address these issues during a on-site survey and make certain all preparations are finished before moving on to the next steps in the floor screeding process.

Before any screeding can be poured a DPM (damp proof membrane) will have to be installed to protect the final flooring and screed from dampness. Different gauges of polythene sheets might be used as a DPM and also serve as a barrier for the screed and any insulation panels.

If your home is situated in a place where radon gas is present a supplementary barrier layer is essential to stop radon gas from entering. An air-tight membrane could be enough in areas with low emissions of radon, however in more severe cases there might have to be a more complicated extraction system to block any ground penetrating radon gases.

As soon as these stages have been completed the screeding company will put on a sealant or primer to the prepared floor base. Sealers and primers help the bonding process and are special applications specifically designed for the type of screed that is being used. Owing to their special nature, only experienced screeding specialists in Wednesbury are capable of using them safely and correctly and through the use of bespoke equipment for the task.

Now is the time that under floor heating can be laid out in the correct manner and installed. The cabling and heating pipes are firmly attached to insulation panels to prevent any movement and make certain they're positioned correctly. When professionally installed an underfloor heating system is an efficient way to warm up a room and top quality screeding retains its heat, generating an even heat across the floor surface.

If you're not installing underfloor heating the screed will now be mixed and prepared on site and poured. The requirements of the room will determine the kind of screeding used. Don't forget that even quick drying screeds have a minimum of twenty four hours before you can walk on any laid surface and a minimum 72 hours before any floor coverings can be laid. If you are laying heavy duty or standard screeds the setting time is increased and you must follow the manufacturer's guidelines in order to get the best finish for your floor.

The SR standard of your screeding can be confirmed once it has solidified enough to be stepped onto. The test involves using a 2 metre straight edge laid on the surface and any variations from true are measured.

• SR1 - Over the entire area, if there are no deviations of more than 3 millimetres from the straight-edge, then you've got a top quality SR1 standard surface.

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

• SR3 - SR3 is basic utility standard where a perfect finish isn't required. This classification can have a maximum permissible deviation of 10 millimetres.

There might also be a requirement for a qualified structural engineer to perform a soundness test. This test will determine the strength of the screeded surface and the suitability for its intended use. The screed will be subjected to what's known as a "drop hammer test" to assess flexibility and strength at specific points. The precise measurement and testing tools involved mean that this can only be carried out by a trained structural engineer respecting the British Standards BS8204 guidelines.

Latex Floor Screed Wednesbury

When the make-up of your floor's surface means that a bit of flexibility is required, it will be an advantage to apply a latex self-levelling floor screed, as opposed to one with a more rigid finish. 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 based powder. The liquid latex part actually replaces the water that would typically be used in a screed mix, and is much more flexible and quicker drying than other types of screed.

Prior to the laying of the final decorative surface, this latex product is used for levelling sub-floors. Producing a smooth, durable surface which is perfect for the application of flooring adhesives, this screeding is is suitable for use on substrate of sand/cement, stone tiles, concrete, asphalt and wood. If there happens to be any movement in the sub-floor this latex screed will give you a flexible, crack-free finish on which you can lay your final floor coverings.

When using a "floating" screed, i.e. when an unbonded screed is being laid over a layer of either acoustic or thermal insulation, screed depths of 50-65mm may be required, and latex screeds are not suitable for this purpose.
