What is Liquid Screed?
Whatever flooring you choose – whether it’s tiles, vinyl, stone or wood – the quality and durability of the result will be dependent on the quality and durability of the liquid screed you choose. Flow screed provides the foundation for your finish, and if the product or the installation is poor, it will cause problems such as damp, cracking or splitting that will have to be dealt with down the line.
Liquid screed is an advanced flooring technology that has been designed to provide a high-quality layer between the concrete slab, or sub-flooring, and your finish of choice. Consistency is guaranteed thanks to the benchmarking tests undergone in the design process, which means that you can expect a perfect pour every time.
Our clients in Birmingham tell us that that the rapid installation sets liquid screed apart from other flooring products; they also appreciate the self-levelling qualities of the material.
Is Liquid Screed Better than Traditional Floor Screed?
Throughout 20th century traditional crafts were replaced by industrialised processes that could be scaled up for cost efficiency. Floor screed was quite late in achieving this transition. Traditional screed had to be mixed manually and the quality of the finish was dependent on the skills of the mixer. Failing to match the mix to the environment could result in problems of damp, or cracking and shrinking down the line.
Once the mixing was complete, dry screed had to be installed manually and – even with an experienced team – this could be a lengthy process. The upper limit for traditional screed installation is 120 metres a day, and drying times are upward of 5 days before it can be walked on. Liquid screed can achieve a pour in hours rather than days and the mix is ready to walk on after just 24-48 hours.
Whilst traditional screed is still used in some applications, Birmingham developers tell us that liquid screed is now their default flooring and underfloor heating application.
What are the Advantages of Using Liquid Screed?
Speed – small teams of liquid screed specialists can facilitate a pour of up to 2,000 meters per day. The application is dry enough for foot traffic after 2 days.
Finish – liquid screed obliterates blemishes, and is self-levelling. It achieves perfection on every installation. The surface regularity easily achieves SR2 finish as described in BS8204.
Application – a small team of specialists can pump liquid screed directly on site. The mix is highly durable so the layers can be thinner. It requires no reinforcement, even when working on floating floors.
Uses – it’s second-to-none as a flooring foundation, or for a polished screed finish. When used as part of an underfloor heating installation, liquid screed eradicates air 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?
Feedback from our Birmingham clients tell us:
Enhanced Thermal Conductivity – liquid screed speeds up heat response times, which passes on an immediate benefit to the customer.
Less Labour Costs – installing liquid screed is less labour intensive than using the traditional screed mix. It also dries more quickly which means savings that can be passed on to clients.
Liquid Screed is Eco-Friendly
However cost or time-efficient a product is, it also needs to be eco-friendly to help with meeting targets for carbon reduction. Liquid screed ticks all the boxes; it’s made using recycled materials, and its enhanced thermal conductivity means that evenly distributed heating can be achieved using lower temperatures. No wonder it’s acquired the nickname ‘green flooring’ in the trade!
