Liquid screed
What is Liquid Screed?
Liquid screed, also known as flowing screed, is a modern and efficient alternative to traditional sand and cement screeds. It is used to create smooth, level floors in both residential and commercial settings. As a floor screeding expert, I will outline the key advantages of using liquid screed in your construction projects.
Physical Composition of Liquid Screed
Liquid screed consists of a mixture of fine aggregates, cement or anhydrite (calcium sulphate binder) and water-reducing additives.
The key features of liquid screed composition include:
- High fluidity, allowing it to flow easily and self-level.
- Reduced shrinkage compared to traditional screeds.
- Higher thermal conductivity, making it ideal for underfloor heating.
- Minimal cracking due to controlled drying rates.
Typical applications
Widely used in both residential and commercial projects across the UK. Common applications include:
- Underfloor Heating Systems: Liquid screed efficiently encases heating pipes, ensuring even heat distribution.
- Large Commercial Projects: Ideal for warehouses, offices, and shopping centres due to its quick installation and drying time.
- Residential Homes: Used to achieve a smooth and level base for floor finishes such as tiles, wood, or carpets.
- Renovation Projects: Can be poured over existing floors to create a uniform surface.
