Liquid Screed
What is liquid screed?
Liquid screed is a self-leveling compound made from a mixture of a chemical binder, sand and water, often with added additives for improved performance. It's poured onto floors to create a smooth, level surface, typically used as a base for flooring materials such as tiles, wood, or laminate.
Liquid screed offers advantages over traditional sand and cement screed methods, including faster drying, faster installation and achieves higher thermal conductivity by reducing cover of underfloor heating pipes and greatly improving the heat performance and reaction times of the screed. This allows for a more reactive system that requires a smaller amount of energy input compared with sand & cement.
Flowing screed is sometimes called liquid or self levelling screed and is a modern versatile approach to floor laying when compared to traditional sand and cement methods. It is far less labour intensive and can be applied at rapid rates of up to 1000 m2 per day.
Liquid screed is far more efficient as a product when compared to other methods, as Liquid screed can be laid at varying depths, dependant on the product when, compared to a traditional screed depth of 75mm.This can be invaluable when there are major restrictions with height in properties requiring insulation and a screeded floor.
At Screedmaster we use this method of screeding to provide a smooth, flat surface for the application of most floor coverings with no curling or curing required!
