UK Screeds Ltd is one of the major market leaders and suppliers of liquid floor screed in Southampton. We pride ourselves with over 15 years experience in the application of floor screed and underfloor heating systems throughout the UK.
What Are the Uses of Liquid Screed?
Liquid screed (also referred to as flow screed) has become the highly efficient successor to conventional sand and cement screed, thanks to the numerous advantages it offers to the building trade. The demand for liquid screed in Southampton has quickly risen in popularity and it’s now the main choice for underfloor heating.
Liquid Screed can be used in both commercial and residential projects, and can be used for new builds as well as renovations. It’s designed to provide smooth, level surfaces in preparation for the application of finished floor finishes. Thanks to laser-levelling technology, it can achieve a surface regularity of SR2 or higher.
The Benefits of Using Liquid Screed
Due to its liquid properties, flow screed is able to fit the mould of any shape required, flowing into gaps and voids after being pump applied to the surface area. It’s quick to apply too, with up to 2,000m² laid in a day (with an average of 500-1,000m² per day). It also dries quickly, making it possible to walk on the finished surface within 24 to 48 hours, thus causing minimal disturbance to the other trades on site. Therefore, combined with the ability to be force dried, using liquid screed can drastically reduce project timelines on busy building sites.
Liquid floor screed offers a finished floor surface with extremely low shrinkage and no risk of curling, which minimises the risk of cracking. This factor alone has led to its increased demand in Southampton.
Compared to traditional, thicker screed, liquid floor screed is laid substantially thinner, helping to save money on transportation costs as a result of less material used. This, combined with flow screed having twice the thermal conductivity of conventional materials (2.2W/mk), results in a highly efficient heated floor, perfect for use with any underfloor heating system. Very little heat is lost, reducing energy consumption and ultimately reducing costs.
Liquid screed is a great choice if the foundation is unstable, with it being perfectly suitable for floating floor construction. And there’s no need for any reinforcement.
As tested to BS476 Part 4, liquid screed is non-combustible and is protein free, meaning no harmful bacteria can harbour. It’s a perfectly safe material to use for all building projects.
The Environmental Benefits of Flow Screed
Liquid screed is a great choice for companies concerned with their environmental footprint. Thanks to its high gypsum content, it releases significantly less CO2 into the environment during installation than other traditional materials. What’s more, 36% of the product is composed from recycled materials, which, combined with reduced energy consumption, makes liquid screed the ideal choice for customers that prefer environmentally friendly processes and materials.
