Floor screeding for warehouses
Warehouse floors require high-quality screeds to create a stable and even surface before the final floor finish is applied. The choice of screed depends on load requirements, installation speed and budget.
Types of Screed Used in Warehouses
1. Traditional Sand & Cement Screed
- Composed of sand, cement, and water.
- Ideal for creating a strong, level surface.
- Can be reinforced with fibres for added strength.
- Slower drying time (up to 28 days).
2. Liquid Screed
- Flowing screed that self-levels upon application.
- Faster installation compared to traditional screed.
- Superior flatness and reduced shrinkage.
- Quick drying – walkable within 24-48 hours.
3. Fast Drying Screed
- Modified with additives to accelerate drying.
- Suitable when fast turnaround times are required.
- Often used in refurbishment projects.
4. Epoxy resin flooring
- Extremely durable and impact-resistant.
- Suitable for heavy-duty warehouses.
- Resistant to chemicals and moisture.
