Fibre Reinforced Sand and Cement Screed
Polypropylene fibres are added and evenly dispersed in a screed mix. This helps to minimise shrinkage and cracking.
Higher Strength Sand and Cement Floor Screeds
These screeds achieve strengths of over 30 Nmm2 and are used in buildings which are to receive high levels of foot traffic.
Fast Drying Sand and Cement Floor Screed
These screeds contain additives which enable the screed to dry more quickly so that floor coverings can be laid sooner.
What is Commercial Floor Screeding
A vital step in ensuring the quality, performance and durability of the entire floor system
Screeding a floor is the process of applying a well-blended mixture of ordinary Portland Cement with graded sand and a minimal amount of water to form a solid, level subfloor that is capable of receiving the final floor finish.
Our experienced floor screeders are skilled at laying this material on every shape and size of floor, ensuring an even and complete floor surface around fixtures like soil pipes, electrics, ducts, thresholds, and underfloor heating pipes.
Commercial floor screeding is the perfect solution to providing a solid, level floor where underfloor heating systems are to be installed, as well as areas that are expecting high foot traffic.
The process involves placing a damp proof membrane (DPM) over the prepared concrete floor base, and then adding a layer of thermal insulation over the DPM.
This insulation is designed to accept the tacker clips used to secure underfloor heating pipework. Screed is then laid over the whole area and worked to a smooth, level surface. The floor screed fully encases the pipework, both securing it firmly in position and allowing efficient heat transfer upwards into the final floor coverings.
Floor screeding is therefore a vital step in ensuring the quality, performance, and durability of the entire floor system.

Frequently Asked Question’s
What are the benefits of commercial floor screeding?
Here at JCW Floor Screeding, our floor screeds can give your commercial flooring a smoother and more attractive finish after lots of foot traffic.
They fill in any holes or cracks that may have occurred over time on floor coverings and level out any depressions or indents – ensuring a flat surface that’s safe and comfortable for your staff and visitors to walk on.
Floor screeding also provides a sturdy and level base for the next stage of floor covering – be it tiles, carpet, or wood – preventing lumps and bumps.
If you have underfloor heating in your commercial property, our screeds can be applied to these floors to ensure heat is distributed evenly throughout the room. This ultimately eliminates hot and cold spots
How much does commercial floor screeding cost?
The cost of a floor screed project can vary depending on the type, quality and depth of the florr screed required and the size of your floor. Other factors that influence the cost include where you’re based and how accessible your floors are.
Before we provide a price for commercial floor screeding, we like to know a little bit about your project first, particularly your budget and timescale. That’s why we will always conduct a thorough site survey and provide a fair estimate.

How do you prepare for floor screeding?
There are a few things you need to do to prepare your commercial floor for screeding. These include clearing the area, shuffling furniture between rooms and removing the existing floor covering.
It’s also worth sweeping or hoovering any dust, dirt and debris from the subfloor. Such particles can prevent the mixture from settling evenly.
For more tips on how to achieve the best results from commercial floor screeding, don’t hesitate to contact the experts at JCW Floor Screeding.
Always on hand to help, we’ll gladly guide and advise you on how to prepare your floors for professional screeding – ensuring maximum efficiency and quality.
Can screed be a final floor finish?
Yes! Although most people opt for commercial floor screeding to prepare subfloors for a final covering (e.g. carpet, tiles, wooden planks, etc), it looks fantastic on its own.
A bare screed floor is typically used where a minimalist finish is favoured. More than that though, it’s often more cost-effective to leave it exposed in commercial environments.

What’s The Difference Between Traditional Screed and Liquid Screed
Traditional screed, also known as sand and cement screed, is made by mixing sand, cement, and water. It’s applied manually, used in thicker layers and can take several weeks to fully dry. Liquid screed, also known as self-levelling screed, is a premixed blend of fine aggregates, cement, and water. It’s poured or pumped onto the floor and spread out evenly in a thin layer. Liquid screed is usually chosen for time-conscious projects because it dries quicker, especially in jobs with underfloor heating systems.
