Liquid Screed Company Canterbury

For a project of this scale, we’d highly recommend Cemfloor cementitious screed. It’s designed for large commercial applications and offers several advantages:

• Fast and Efficient – The fluid consistency allows for quick installation, so our team can cover extensive areas fast. This reduces the risk of disruption and helps keep your project on track.
• Consistent Coverage – Cemfloor should be pumped to guarantee even distribution across large areas like yours, to create a perfectly level base.
• Built to Last – Cementitious screed provides great durability and strength, making it ideal for commercial jobs.
• Cost-Effective – Quick installation and reduced labour needs contribute to overall cost savings.
• Superior Finish – Cemfloor delivers a smooth, high-quality finish that meets the highest industry standards.

Yes, you can achieve a good level floor even with minimal floor depth. Our ultra-thin liquid screed can be applied as thin as 12mm while still meeting the highest industry standards for flatness (SR1).

This means you get the benefits of liquid screed – self-levelling properties, fast drying time – without compromising on headroom.

Liquid screed offers more benefits than traditional screed, making it a popular choice for projects in Canterbury:

• Faster Installation – Liquid screed can be poured quickly, reducing installation time.
• Thinner Application – Ideal if you have limited floor height or need to minimise floor build-up.
• Self-Levelling – Liquid screed naturally creates a smooth, level surface without the need for manual levelling.
• Ideal for Underfloor Heating – Liquid screed has excellent thermal conductivity, making it perfect for use with underfloor heating systems.
• Reduced Cracking – There’s less risk of cracking and shrinkage, ensuring a durable and long-lasting floor.

To get the best performance we would recommend you use thermal liquid screed for the following reasons:

• Faster Heating – It heats up much quicker than most other screeds, giving you a warm living spacefaster.
• Energy Efficiency – Its advanced heat transfer properties help your heating system operate more efficiently, so you’ll find you’re saving on energy bills.
• Even Heat Distribution – Thermal screed gives you consistent warmth across your floor space, no cold spots, just cosy radiant heat.

Liquid screed dries rapidly, but the exact drying period depends on the type of screed used, its depth, and the surrounding temperature and humidity.

Generally, most liquid screeds, including our standard Cemfloor option, are dry enough to walk on within 24-48 hours.

For even faster drying, we offer a rapid-drying screed that allows for:

• Foot traffic in less than 12 hours.

• Heavier loads within 24 hours.

• Floor covering installation after just 7 days.

This helps you move your project along quickly, reducing downtime and getting your floor ready for use sooner.

Remember, screed carries on curing even after the initial drying. Our rapid-drying screed reaches a high compressive strength when fully cured.
