Traditional Screed Cardiff

Screeding is essential for correcting unevenness in the subfloor, ensuring a smooth and even surface for the final flooring.

Durable: Traditional screed surfaces are durable and conform to the requirements of BS EN 13813.

Subfloor Preparation: It can provide a suitable base for various floor coverings, including tiles, carpets, and wooden floors.

Underfloor Heating: Screed is crucial for embedding and distributing heat evenly in underfloor heating systems.

Reinforcement: In some cases, it can also help to reinforce the overall flooring structure, especially in high-traffic areas.

Key Features

Suitable to foot traffic after 24 hours and site traffic after 48 hours, with 80-90% of final screed strength achieved within the first 4 to 5 days.

• Obtainable minimum compressive strength of 40 N/mm².
• Obtainable minimum flexural strength of 6 N/mm².
• Bonded screeds from 15mm, and un-bonded/floating screeds from 35mm.
• Very low tension so shrinkage cracks are minimal or even avoided completely.
• No curing required.
• No fibres required.

Excellent thermal conductivity (λ= 2.35 [W/m²K) with underfloor heating (heating can be run after 48 hours). Note that underfloor heating pipes require a minimum of 30 mm coverage over the pipe (as per BS 8204).

Insensitive to moisture so suitable for permanently wet areas.
