What Is Liquid Screed?
In recent years, there have been significant developments in many areas of the construction and building trade. One of the areas that’s seen dramatic improvements is the flooring industry. This has led to a growing demand for liquid screeds in Peterborough, and with good reason.
Liquid Screed is an alternative and far superior choice to traditional sand and cement screed. You may also hear it called flow screed. That’s because liquid screed is pump applied to targeted flooring areas. Thanks to its liquid properties, liquid screed is able to mould perfectly to any shape while simultaneously filling any gaps or holes in the floor space. It provides a smooth, level surface to be used prior to the application of finished floor finishes and is quickly becoming the popular choice for use with underfloor heating systems.
What Are the Benefits to Using Liquid Screed?
One major advantage liquid floor screed has over older methods is the speed of application. Using the pump, up to 2,000m² can be covered in a day. In addition, within 24 to 48 hours the floor can be walked on and can be force dried within seven days after application. This is great news for building companies looking to decrease project timelines, as not only can the next stage of the flooring be done sooner, other trades on site are less likely to suffer disruptions to their work.
There is no compromise on quality either. With the help of laser-levelling technology, a surface regularity of SR2 or higher is easily achieved with every surface. This is achieved even when laid on top of poor quality concrete, as liquid screed is perfect for floating floor construction, while also avoiding the need for any reinforcement. There is minimal risk of cracking and there is no curling, thanks to its extremely low shrinkage.
Liquid floor screed is ideal for underfloor heating systems due to its far greater thermal properties, being almost twice the thermal conductivity (2.2W/mK) of traditional sand and cement screed. Because it’s laid substantially thinner than conventional materials, there is very little heat wasted and it therefore offers reduced energy consumption. This provides the perfect flooring solution for all residential and commercial building projects looking to use underfloor heating systems.
It’s environmentally friendly, too, with 36% of the product being made up of recyclable materials. In addition, due to its gypsum content, there’s less carbon dioxide released into the environment during installation. This is great for companies looking to make their building processes more environmentally friendly.
There’s no risk of it catching fire either, as the material is non-combustible. It’s also protein free, reducing the possibility of harmful bacteria developing.
