What Are the Benefits of Liquid Screed?
Due to its liquid properties, liquid screed can be laid very quickly, filling all gaps and voids in the process. Up to 2,000m² can be laid in a day, and the resulting surface is ready to be walked on within 24 to 48 hours. This significantly reduces build times, as there is minimal disturbance to other trades on site. There’s no compromise in quality either, as the technique uses laser-levelling technology to achieve a surface regularity of SR2 or higher.
Liquid screed offers a finished floor surface that has extremely low shrinkage. What’s more, it doesn’t curl which minimises the risk of any cracks occurring.
Furthermore, liquid screed has twice the thermal conductivity of traditional thicker screeds, which combined with it being laid much thinner means very little heat is lost and therefore the customer benefits from reduced energy consumption. This makes liquid screed perfect for use with underfloor heating systems.
