Wobbly Floors Have A Need For Screed
Floorscreeding is the best way to achieve a smooth, flat and durable surface whether you are planning on screeding a residential or commercial property.
When you are at home or at work and you notice that the floor is uneven, maybe through the momentum when you walk across the floor or the way that furniture sits on the floor, you know that the floor is not quite as it should be. Laying carpet or flooring onto an uneven floor is just going to attempt to hide the issue without properly addressing it and preventing future issues. The process used to reinvent a floor surface and make sure you remove any health and safety hazards as well as aesthetically making it a better place to keep furniture, is floorcreeding. A combination of cement and sharp sand makes up screed that when it is laid will create a perfectly flat surface.
There are a lot of different things to consider when it comes to floor screeding and it requires an experienced professional to undertake a screeding task.
Floorscreeding is the best way to achieve a smooth, flat and durable surface whether you are planning on screeding a residential or commercial property. Floor Screeders are able to provide floor screed which is suitable for small self-build jobs right up to the biggest of commercial floors.
There is also something else you can consider whilst you are redoing the floor and that is for a luxurious option of underfloor heating. This can give you the opportunity to have an even temperature across your floors and no more cold floors when they are being used or cold offices for you and colleagues. 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 solution.
There are different types of screed including traditional screed, sand and cement screed, liquid screed and self-levelling screed. Self-levelling screed can be laid quicker and are less labour intensive than traditional screed whilst being more suited for heavy traffic areas such as public buildings including schools, hospitals and a business 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.
You need to consider very carefully who will carry out your floor screeding job as it is not something you want to go wrong or be done hastily with quality being compromised. 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 forced to remove and re-lay!
