Traditional Screed Materials

The traditional sand and cement screeding mix is one of the most economical and flexible screeding solutions. As it comes ready mixed it can eliminate any need for mixing on the day so you can guarantee nothing will go wrong on site. The mixture is workable for 8-12 hours after being laid but our expert floor Screeders certainly wont require that long to get the perfect finish however, if laying it yourself it can be handy to have the extra time.

Self-Levelling Screed

For a large continuous open space there are few better screed types than the self-levelling liquid floor screed. It can be laid at a rapid rate as there is no need to ensure that the floor is level after each pour. As a liquid, it is adept at filling small spaces which means that it is the ideal screed to be laid over under floor heating or sound insulation. As a specialist form of floor screeding, it can only be installed by an approved contractor like JCW.

Fast Drying Screed

If you need a great level floor quickly then luckily you can lay a fast drying screed mixture. By placing certain additives into the screed mix, dry for use times can be reduced to just 5 days and as an added bonus the final strength is much greater than that achieved through using traditional screed mixes.
