Floor Screed Flattens Problematic Floors
When you are at home or at work and you notice that the floor is not quite level, maybe through a wobbly chair leg or a desk that needs propping up with a few pieces of paper then you know that the floor is not quite as smooth as it should be. Laying carpet or flooring onto an uneven floor is just going to attempt to hide the issue without really solving it. The process mainly used to reinvent a floor surface and create a smooth finish is Floorscreeding. Floor Screed is a mixture made up from a combination of cement and sharp sand that when it is laid will create a perfectly flat surface.
The process has much more to it than the simple trowelling of the mixture and is one of the most vital steps in flooring to lead to a quality and durable finish.
Floorscreeding is the best way to achieve a smooth, flat and durable surface for any type of floor. FloorScreeders are able to provide floor screed which is suitable for small self-build jobs right up to the largest scale commercial floors. Floor Screed is a mixture made up from a combination of cement and sharp sand that when it is laid will create a perfectly flat surface.
You will also want to consider laying underfloor heating. This can give you the opportunity to have an even temperature across your floors and no more nasty cold surprises when you walk across your floor. Floor screed can be laid over the top of an underfloor heating system and you may want to look into a complete package which includes Levelling Screeds and an underfloor heating system.
There are different types of screed including traditional screed, sand and cement screed, liquid screed and self-levelling screed. Self-levelling screed is quicker to be laid and less labour intensive than traditional screed whilst being more suited for heavy traffic areas such as schools, businesses etc. The usual restrictions for foot traffic apply for 48 hours before light traffic and up to 7 days before it can be regularly used as normal again.
By contracting an experienced company to carry out your floor screeding needs you will save yourself a lot of stress. Floor Screeding is usually best handled by professionals as your floor surface is not something you can rectify in a hurry when you consider the amount of cement and concrete that you will be fighting through! Find a company that can carry out large or small jobs and can offer you the right type of screed for your project size with the right results for its purpose.
