What Is Liquid Screed?
Liquid screed is the newer (and we think better) alternative to traditional sand and cement screed. It’s also known as flow screed, thanks to its smooth flowing action when being pump applied to targeted flooring areas. Due to its liquid properties, flow screed can mould to any form while filling all gaps and holes within the flooring. It provides a smooth, level surface to be used before the application of finished floor finishes. It’s quickly becoming the building trade’s favourite flooring method for use with underfloor heating systems.
The Benefits of Using Liquid Screed
In recent years, there have been significant developments within the building and construction trade. This includes the flooring trade, where liquid screed has been taking the industry by storm, something that’s led to a growing demand for liquid screed in Birmingham construction projects. Here’s why.
When compared to older, more traditional methods, the major advantage liquid floor screed has is its speed of application. By being pump applied, you can apply up to 2,000m² per day, although the average is usually 500 to 1,000 m² per day. Additionally, the surface is dry enough to withstand being walked on within 24 to 48 hours of application, and it can be force dried within seven days after application. This is superb for building firms that are on a tight timescale, as it reduces project timelines without impacting on quality. With the flooring in place sooner, other trades on site are able to get on with their work with minimum disruption.
There’s no compromise on quality either. With the assistance of laser-levelling technology, a surface regularity of SR2 or higher is achieved with every surface laid. This quality can be achieved even when laid upon poor quality concrete, as liquid screed is ideal for floating floor construction, because it has no requirement for reinforcement. There’s very little risk of cracking and there’s no curling due to its extraordinarily low shrinkage.
Liquid floor screed is perfect for underfloor heating systems, thanks to its superior thermal properties, having nearly double the thermal conductivity (2.2W/mK) of traditional sand and cement screed. It is laid far thinner than conventional methods, so little heat is wasted, thus offering reduced energy consumption. This makes it a great flooring solution for all residential and commercial building projects wanting to use underfloor heating systems.
It’s environmentally friendly, too, with 36% of the product made from recyclable materials. Additionally, thanks to its gypsum content, it releases far less carbon dioxide into the environment during installation. This is a fantastic way for building companies to make their building processes more environmentally friendly – something that appeals to a large customer base, too.
With the material being non-combustible and protein free, there’s little risk of it catching fire nor any possibility of harmful bacteria developing.

We always uphold the highest standards of professionalism and customer satisfaction on all our liquid floor screeding jobs in Birmingham. Our customers prefer liquid screed versus traditional sand and cement screed because it is newer, better, longer lasting, more affordable, and faster to install.
Liquid screed can add a smooth and clean finish to any new flooring installation, such as floor tiles, carpeting, and floorboards. When we pour the liquid screed onto the flooring surface, it will fill all the small holes, gaps, and imperfections to level and smooth the surface. You cannot get such results from sand and cement screed.
In addition, liquid screed is also popular to use with underfloor heating system installations. Since the liquid screed leaves a thin surface layer above the heating system, it is easier for heat to transfer through the floor. As a result, the underfloor heating system won’t consume as much electricity to satisfy the heat demands of the owner. Their monthly power bills will get reduced because of it.
