We know that for any renovation or construction endeavour, the foundation matters most.
A level and long-lasting subfloor isn’t merely an extravagance; it’s essential for the durability and beauty of your ultimate flooring. This is where standards from the industry, such as SR1 and SR2, intervene to deliver accuracy and quality right from the ground level.
Let our team at UK Screeds Ltd. walk you through these floor standards and the role of cement screed in ensuring your Northamptonshire project is a success.
What Are SR1 and SR2 Floor Standards Actually?
In flooring nomenclature, SR1 and SR2 are surface regularity grades.
SR1 is the highest grade, with a maximum allowable deviation of only 3mm using a 2-meter straightedge. SR2 is a medium standard, with a tolerance of up to 5mm. These precise measurements are crucial because even slight imperfections in the subfloor can lead to issues with the final floor covering, from uneven tile lines to premature wear of carpets or wood. Achieving these standards ensures a flawless base, essential for both performance and appearance.
Why Cement Screed is the Foundation for Precision?
Traditional cement screed, a strong mix of cement, sharp sand, and water, is still a popular option for reaching these high standards. Its inherent characteristics find it to be ideally suited to precision finishing.
We, at UK Screeds Ltd., appreciate its unmatched versatility, enabling us to level it to any depth and even out large undulations, and its excellent load-carrying capacity, producing a firm and rigid surface.
Cement screed in Northamptonshire, with proper mixing and application, offers the precision application required to satisfy the high standards of SR1 and SR2, producing a solid and durable base for any floor covering.
