The screed may be directly bonded to the base or laid unbonded onto a suitable damp proof membrane which is placed over the slab. Make sure you remove completely the dust and other residues. Floor screed is composed of cementitious materials and sand blended based on a suitable mix design and applied to provide a leveled surface for the floor finish which is introduced to the surface of the floor screed.

If we look at each different type you re going to have different floor screed thickness on the minimum and maximum depths. We only use the best suppliers across the uk on all our jobs we have a wealth of experience in the screeding industry and also own our own plant and screed pumps. If not protected the surface will suffer damage such as point loading step ladders which will cause damage to the matrix. Consult a contractor before screeding a large area installing a thin floor 2mm 0 08 over the screed or installing screed over underfloor heating.

Always protect the floor screed until the coverings go down. So floor screed is the base for the floor finish and greatly influences the performance of floor finish.

For normal accuracy floors it is defined as the limitation of deviation of the surface beneath a straightedge laid flat on the surface. We offer a wide range of screeding solutions including traditional methods and free flowing screeds and various insulations and acoustic systems along with the latest ufh systems.

Afterwards sprinkle water over the surface to enhance the bond of the screed with the concrete flooring.
