Floor Screeding Normanton

Floor Screeding Normanton West Yorkshire (WF6): A professional floor screeding company can level a damaged or uneven floor, help to install underfloor heating or help with renovations on your Normanton property, when necessary. A screed is used to produce a smooth floor on top of a rough concrete sub-base and provide a good foundation for your choice of top flooring material. Screeding a floor allows you to provide a durable, quality finish for any part of your home or business premises.

FLOOR SCREEDING COMPANIES NORMANTON

It doesn't matter how big or small the room is that you need levelling, a genuine screeding contractor in Normanton will have the necessary equipment, know-how and expertise to offer you an outstanding standard of service. They will be able to advise you about the right type of screed your project requires, and how best to apply and install it.

It may be a requirement, contingent on the proposed use of the room, for a structural engineering survey to conform with building regulations on flex strength, load bearing and point loadings of the screed floor.

Working with a skilled and qualified specialist will ensure you get the proper sort of screed for the room's proposed purpose and get the optimum lifespan out of your flooring. A correct mixture of screed and the way it is laid is also important to ensure the ultimate durability of your floor surface.

There are a number of screeding contractors in the Normanton area so make sure you get multiple quotes for your floor screeding project before picking out a company and know to what standard of finish it's for. The Surface Regularity (SR) finish is the figure to keep your eye on when reviewing a quote from your Normanton screeding contractor. SR1 is the highest quality, and while SR2 and SR3 might seem less costly initially, they do not guarantee a perfectly even or flat floor surface. Any error in the screeding may cause problems in laying flooring due to ridges, flat spots, indentations in the floor surface.

British Standards BS8204 lays out the regulations and guidelines that all Normanton screeding companies must follow, and if working with specialist screeding solutions, (Gypsol, Flowcrete, Cemfloor etc), they should be certified by the manufacturers as being skilled and trained in their use. This accreditation program illustrates a company's training and performance in the application of a manufacturer's products.

TYPES OF SCREED

Standard Screeds - This is acceptable for everyday domestic usage and is a mix of cement and sand. The standard screed is a mix of five parts sand to one of cement. After laying a standard screed dries out at a rate of just 1mm/day.

Self-Levelling or Liquid Screeds - When the highest possible standard of finish is needed this blend of cement and latex is used to achieve SR1 level floor screeding. The self-levelling compound provides a smooth and level surface over a rough substrate or damaged floor to allow all types of flooring materials to be laid. Even with a thickness of only one millimetre, the latex polymers within the mixture provide a high strength screed for a variety of uses.

Fibre Reinforced Screed - The favourite choice of professional screeders for use in combination with underfloor heating systems. The improved strength and flexibility offered by the fibres in the screed mix help protect the flooring from thermal shrinkage and cracking. At roughly 1mm per day, it has a similar drying rate to standard floor screed.

Polymer Screeds - When a reduced thickness of floor is required because of building factors, a polymer screed provides a high strength resolution to this situation. Because of their different chemical compositions, these screeds have varying setting times which you can verify by viewing manufacturer's product guidelines.

Advanced Drying and Fast Drying Screeds - As the name suggest, these screeds dry rapidly and allow you to use the screeded area much faster. Drying at a rate of 3-7mm/day, subject to the mixture, they are normally a fibre reinforced screed and are suitable for projects that have tight deadlines.

Industrial and Heavy Duty Screed - Where levels of traffic are expected to be high or heavy loading on the floor is required, heavy duty screeds provide maximum durability and strength.

SCREEDING PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION

To make certain that the screeding is of a high quality finish that is durable and hard wearing, time should be spent on fully preparing the area prior to any screeding material being poured. Any debris, paint, oil and grease on the original floor level can affect the bonding of the screed, and should be eliminated.

If any cleaning products were used during this stage it's vital to make certain that no residues of soaps or detergents are left on the surface and it is permitted to dry out naturally. It is necessary to repair any cracks or crevices in the floor surface to stop them being reflected and "travelling" up into your newly screeded floor. During an on-site survey the screeding installer will establish what preparations are required before starting to work on screeding the floor.

A damp proof membrane (DPM) will be applied once the preparation work has been finished to stop ground moisture getting into the screed and floor materials. The damp proof membrane is made of thick polythene and different layers could be used to act as a moisture barrier and air insulating layer for the screeding.

If your home is located in an area where radon is found an additional barrier layer is needed to stop radon gas from getting through. If radon is present in severe doses then a full ventilation system may be installed underneath the screed which will extract any gases that might seep in from ground level.

The final phase of surface preparation is the spraying or painting of a primer or sealant. A primer helps with the screed to bond to the base and membranes and different types exist based upon which kind of screed is being used. These products require qualified contractors to apply them in the correct ratios by using airless sprays and other custom-made equipment.

Before any screed can be poured, any underfloor heating will now set out and installed. The underfloor heating system is laid out in the correct pattern and secured firmly to insulation panels to stop potential movement during screed pouring. Under floor heating is one of the most efficient ways to heat a room and a skillfully installed system will deliver even level of warmth across the floor area.

The screed can now be mixed and prepared in situ and applied to the base. Your use of the room will assist the screeding specialist on what form of floor screed is ideal for your needs. Be aware that even advanced and quick drying screeds have a minimum of twenty four hours before you're able to walk over any screeded surfaces and a minimum seventy two hours before any flooring can be fitted. If you're laying standard or heavy duty screeds the drying time is longer and you must observe the manufacturer's guidelines in order to get the best possible finish to your floor.

As soon as the screed has hardened it can be checked for quality to establish its SR standard. Through the use of a 2 metre straight-edge the floor surface is examined for any ridges, deviations and dips in the surface of the screed.

• SR1 - Over the entire screed area, if there are no disparities of more than 3mm from the straight-edge, you've got a top quality SR1 level surface.

• SR2 - The normal standard flooring in industrial and commercial builds is normally SR2 and has a maximum deviation of 5mm across the entire screeded surface.

• SR3 - SR3 is utility standard where a perfect finish is not needed. This level can have a maximum permissible deviation depth of 10 millimetres.

There might also be a requirement for a structural engineer to carry out a soundness test. The assessment will make sure that your newly laid screed surface is viable for the load bearing requirements set down in the site survey. The screed will be given a drop hammer test to measure flexibility and strength in distinct areas. Any screed flooring that's got load bearing requirements must be sanctioned by a competent structural engineer respecting the BS8204 guidelines.
