What is screed flooring?

Screed flooring, often confused with concrete, is a thin layer of sharp sand and cement applied over a base floor. In homes, screed flooring is used for levelling uneven floor structures. However, in industrial settings where scuffs are expected, coarse aggregates can be added to create a thicker layer. Screed flooring works to provide a robust and durable foundation for the top layer of your flooring. In addition, it conceals pipes, heating and other underfloor systems.

What types of screeding are there?

Certain types of screed cannot be applied to some floors or in some environments. Therefore, you need to know what kind of flooring screed will work best for you. There are three main types of screeding, and which one you choose will depend on the type of base being used for the application.

The three types of screed flooring are:

  • Bonded Screed Flooring
    Bonded screed flooring is applied directly to the concrete base. This type of screed flooring is ‘bonded’ to the base using a bonding agent. It is often used in environments, such as within the industrial sector, where heavy loads are expected.
  • Unbonded Screed Flooring
    Unbonded screed flooring can be applied on top of a damp-proof membrane. This means that the screed has been installed over the top of concrete, but not stuck using an adhesive. As it isn’t bonded, the likelihood of settlement and shrinkage is significantly reduced.
  • Floating Screed Flooring
    Floating screed flooring is typically used when underfloor heating has been installed. Additionally, it can be used in settings where acoustic or thermal insulation is needed and requires a thicker layer than other types of floor screed.

how thick should screed flooring be?

The ideal thickness of sand and cement bonded screed is 25–40mm, an unbonded screed should have a minimum thickness of 50mm, whilst a floating screed should have a thickness greater than 65mm for lightly loaded floors and 75mm for more heavily loaded floors.

What are the benefits of screed flooring?

Screed flooring comes with tons of advantages, many of which we have seen our clients enjoy first-hand. Here are some of the benefits of screed flooring…

Speedy application

Screed flooring can be applied quickly and efficiently in any setting. This means that there
will be minimal downtime and disruption to your business.

High transfer application

By using high-performance equipment, we can deliver high-transfer applications. This means that we can cover large-scale areas with ease.

Insulation

Screed flooring provides greater levels of insulation, meaning that your premises can benefit from better thermal efficiency, whilst saving money on your energy bills.

Levels uneven floors

As screed is a liquid, it is able to easily reach corners and gaps within a room. This means that it is a great way to level out uneven floors.

Malleable

Floor screed is malleable which means that it won’t shrink. It will maintain its integrity and appearance for years to come.

Uniform appearance

Screed flooring is a great way to achieve a uniform and professional look throughout your premises.

How long does screed flooring take to dry?

The drying time of screed flooring will vary depending on the screed thickness and type of screed flooring you have. We recommend that it should be left at least 24 – 48 hours before it is walked on. For heavier traffic, we recommend leaving it for at least 5 to 7 days.

How much screed flooring cost?

There are several factors that will influence the price of screed flooring application. We recommend getting in touch with us to discuss your requirements.

    Lewis and the team carried out a full fence replacement of 20 panels including all the posts/gravel boards. Installed 3 gates, 2 of which were made on-site to fit the drive. Nothing but professional workmanship from the team. Highly recommend.

    Frank Penton

    Lewis and his team did a great job removing a wooden handrail from a disabled ramp outside my house and putting in new bricks to match. The job involved dealing with steel reinforcing rods that the installer had used to mount the wooden posts on. Left the site clean and tidy. Would definitely use again and recommend.
