Screed
What is screeding
Screeding is the application of a levelled layer of screed mix (Sand and Cement) to a floor or other surface. When mixed correctly, screed will leave the floor smooth and level. After screeding is complete, customers choose a floor finish to be laid.
​Screed construction consists of 4 different options:
Bonded Screed
Unbonded Screed
Floating Screed
Screed applied over underfloor heating
liquid and flowing screeds
LPM specialise in liquid and flow screeding. Our fast, precise and highly efficient method of floor screeding is premixed and ready for immediate application. The screed mixture will dry within 24 - 48 hours and will be ready for foot traffic.
All of our screeding is suitiable for underfloor heating. We work with a number of architects, local authorities and residents. No matter the project, small or large, simple or complex we have the knowledge and the highest quality screeding products to complete your project promtly and effectivley.
Levelers / Leveling compound / Laytex
Depending on the size of the area in question and the depth required, these products can be pumped in or mixed and laid by hand. we can also incorporate damp proofing even with build ups as thin as 3mm thick by using Epoxy Resin DPM’s. These types of screed systems are very fast to install, we can cover large areas per day, they leave the surface ready to receive all manner of floor coverings and they dry very quickly. They can be used as wearing surfaces in places such as warehouses and offices if required. They are so hard they can even be polished!
Fast drying screeds
Fast drying screed is suitable for all common floor finishes and allow earlier use of floor space. Fast drying screed can be ready for overlaying in as little as 24 hours. There are ardex products that can receive ceramic or stone tiles after just 4 hours. Relying on an aluminium based cement to accelerate the hardening process. There are many products that can achieve a 7 days drying time equivalent to the formidable isocrete k-screed. Our particular favorites are tekscreed and mapeo topcem.
DPM Damp prove membrane
Specially formulated for use as both a liquid damp proof membrane or vapour control membrane for use in new builds and refurbishment projects. When used as a primer and cured it will accept most adhesives, coating and screed. DPM'S can be used as a 2 part system, witch would enable us to take screed level down to only 5mm in depth.
Floor perpetration
EXPOSED EDGES:
Must have temporary framework installed to all exposed edges.
INSULATION:
Ensure that all high/low points are removed from the sub-base and that insulation boards are laid flat. Insulation boards should be tightly butt jointed with staggered joints.
MEMBRANE:
Installing polythene will separate the insulation to the screed floor using 500 guage or similar, joined with tape. Ensuring that all air pockets are removed and are free from punctures and creases. Isolation strip should be fixed to wall/floor junctions and around any columns, pipework etc.
