What is Liquid Screed?

A great flooring finish is dependent on the flooring layers being expertly installed using high quality products. Choosing the right screed is important because it will cover the sub-flooring level, smooth out the imperfections and provide a level foundation for the finish which is what gets seen. If the foundation is faulty the finish will suffer, and that could lead to hefty bills down the line.

Liquid screed has been designed to create a perfect layer between the sub-flooring and the final finish. The liquid mix achieves a high standard of pour every time; it’s quick to install and it’s naturally self-levelling.

Our clients in Suffolk have been particularly impressed by the drying speed of liquid screed; they tell us that it is dry enough to walk on after just 24-48 hours.

Is Liquid Screed Better than Traditional Floor Screed?

Traditional screed (also known as dry screed) belongs to an earlier generation of screed applications. It was mixed manually, and the quality of the finish was dependent on the expertise of the installer who had to slightly adapt the 4:1 ratio of sand to cement according to the temperature and humidity of the operational environment. A ‘bad’ mix could lead cracking or shrinking during the drying period.

Installing dry screed is also a manual process; it must be laid in sections and a good team could manage around 120 meters per day. It is normally 5 days before it can be walked on. Liquid screed has progressed floor screed technology from a manual process to one in which the mix is consistently high quality, the pumped installation is fast, and drying occurs in only two days.

Suffolk contractors are now using liquid screed as their default application for flooring our underfloor heating installations.

What are the Advantages of Using Liquid Screed?

Speed – traditional screed teams laid 120 meters per day maximum, whilst liquid screed teams can lay up to 2000 meters per day. Liquid screed dries more rapidly than liquid screed.

Finish – liquid screed is the perfect foundation for flooring finish, with an excellent result guaranteed on every job. The surface regularity easily achieves SR2 finish as described in BS8204.

Application – high quality liquid screed can be pumped directly by a small team of screed specialists. The strength of the mix means the layers can be thinner and even when working on floating floors it requires no reinforcement.

Uses – it’s second to none for flooring finishes. It’s also ideal for underfloor heating as the liquid consistency eradicates voids and provides enhanced thermal conductivity.

Health & Safety – liquid screed is non-combustible (tested to BS476, Part 4), and is protein free which ensures that harmful bacteria cannot be harboured.

Any Additional Benefits?

Our Suffolk clients tell us:

Enhanced Thermal Conductivity – liquid screed increases heat response times and provides even heat throughout.

Less Labour Costs – a liquid screed installation requires less specialists for the pour and can be installed more quickly. It’s ready to walk on after just 24-48 hours.

Liquid Screed is Eco-Friendly

Advanced technologies are designed to be eco-friendly and liquid screed is no exception. It utilises recycled materials in the mix and enhanced thermal conductivity offsets your carbon footprint. It’s known in the trade as ‘green flooring’ which tells the whole story!!

180m2 Liquid Screed Installation in Ipswich

We recently installed 180m2 of liquid screed for a two-storey new build in Ipswich. Site conditions dictated fluctuating floor depths across both levels. To hit exact tolerances without wrecking the build schedule, we specced Cemfloor C20 Therm.

This cement-based screed handles depth variations effortlessly. We pumped directly to both storeys, casting large open-plan spaces seamlessly without cutting in expansion joints.

Crucially, the material cures on a hard schedule. The slab took light foot traffic within 48 hours and dried with zero surface laitance, completely eliminating the need for floor grinding. Follow-on trades resumed work quickly, with tiling scheduled in just 7 to 10 days using a “Green Screed” adhesive.
