No matter what purpose a room will serve it is vital that the floor is level and stable. Many people take the quality of floors for granted and do not suspect that they will ever need to assess the need for floor screeding. The process of floor screeding sounds pretty simple on the surface however it requires a high level of skill.

The right level of quality for a finished floor that has been screeded can massively improve the surface. A screed which does not match up to the required quality can leave you with a large bill and job to get someone to rectify the initial mistakes so getting the right installers or knowing what you are doing is very important before undertaking such tasks.

There are options to install underfloor heating screed and have a comfortable level of heat running through your new floor to give you a nice warm floor so there are no nasty shocks throughout the colder months. The underfloor heating packages can be laid underneath the screed and does not compromise the quality of flooring you will receive.

There are many different options which will vary in suitability for your home or property. The self-levelling, orfloating screed is easier on the man hours and will require less attention when it comes to levelling the surface due to its ability to, level itself. Floor coverings can be applied on top of the screed surface once it has dried as can tiles. It is also recommended for purposes that require durability for withstanding high foot fall such as public places.

Traditional dry screed requires attention to detail and by employing the right installer you should get a perfectly level surface from the combination of sand and cement screed. It comes factory mixed to give self-builders or budding DIY’ers the relieved stress of getting the mixture perfect and can be applied to floors and roofing applications. The screed itself remains workable for between 8-12 hours and is ready for light foot traffic after just 48 hours. It is ready for full traffic for whatever purposes after around 7 days. Using dry screed also opens the doors of possibly adding underfloor heating for more comfort.

When considering floor screeding you have to consider the purpose your space serves before selecting the right type of screed and then find a suitable installer with a track record of high quality past experience.
