Screeding is a technique that is used to create strong and robust floor coverings. Floor screeding most commonly takes place in commercial and industrial setting s where heavy traffic will be moving over the floor for much of the time but it is also widely used in new build domestic properties. Screeding typically uses sand and cement mix which is poured onto uneven floor surfaces to create a level surface. There are different types of floor screeding and which one the customer requires will depend on the application and the environment in which the screeding is being used in. The various types of screeding include standard floor screeding, free flowing, fast drying, and high strength.
These screeding products will often be used with levelling compounds, paint coats, resins and sealers to create strong and durable flooring surfaces. Free flowing floor screeding such as Lafarge Gyvlon is a blend of selected aggregates mixed with clean water which produces as flowing ump-able screeding solution. This floor screeding has been designed to offer a smooth surface in commercial and domestic properties ready for floor finishes to be laid and it is ideal to use with under floor heating systems.
Tarmac free flowing screeding is another popular floor screeding product as it comes ready to apply and allows for a very fast rate of application but it must be installed by tarmac approved contractors. Tarmac screeding allows for a lower minimum thickness compared to the traditional sand and cement floor screeding and this is what makes it very popular. Fast drying floor screeding is the ideal screeding choice where floors need to be installed in the quickest time frame possible. This may be so work can be done at night or on an evening so minimal disruption is caused to the business during opening hours or just for projects where there is urgency for the floor to be laid. Many fast drying screeding solutions will dry within a matter of hours and will be ready for flooring to be laid on top within 24 hours. Screeding can be used both indoors and outdoors and it will commonly be used outdoors to make smooth flat surfaces to lay patios or decking on top of.
