Kind of Screed needed for your location in Berkshire

One of the key liquid screeding specifications that need to be taken into account is the kind of screed to use:

Granolithic cement screeds: This provides a durable and long-term finish and is used for wearing surfaces.

Concrete screeds: Generally useful where there is a need for thicker floating screeds as they are more viscous and relatively easier to lay.

Self-Levelling screeds: These are mostly pumped and require less labour than other kinds of screed.

Additional Specifications for Installation

The thickness will be subject to the kind of screed and its application. Additional factors include:

• If any services are to be embedded in the screed
• The quality of the base layer

Bonded, Unbonded, or Floating Screed

Bonded Screed: Placed on the base slab and transfers forces through the bond. The edges must be well bonded to avoid cracks.

Unbonded screeds: Has a damp-proof membrane and laid beneath the screed and above the base. Thicker than bonded screed as there is no force transference.

Floating screeds: Placed directly on a separation layer which is then on top of the acoustic insulation or thermal layer and has to distribute loads evenly on the floor surface for which a wetter mix is used.
