Liquid Screed Company Royal Tunbridge Wells

Liquid screed is widely specified on modern, high quality builds due to its dependable performance compared to traditional screeds. The practical advantages include:

• Faster Installation Times – The application process is quicker, allowing programmes to move forward efficiently and other trades to begin sooner.
• Greater Design Freedom – Where build ups are limited, specialist screeds can be laid at reduced depths, from around 12mm, without compromising strength.
• Consistent Surface Quality – Its self levelling properties provide excellent flatness, creating an ideal base for all floor finishes.
• Improved Heat Transfer – It fully surrounds underfloor heating pipes, removing air gaps and improving heat efficiency.
• Long Term Durability – Low shrinkage and high crack resistance help ensure a stable, long lasting floor.

Drying times vary depending on site conditions and screed depth. Our standard Cemfloor screed is normally suitable for light foot traffic within 24 to 48 hours. For projects on tighter schedules, we can specify a fast drying screed:

• Suitable for light access in under 12 hours.
• Able to take heavier site use after 24 hours.
• Ready for most floor coverings in around 7 days.

This high performance option is designed to reduce delays and support smooth project progress. While drying is quick, full curing continues. The rapid drying screed achieves a final compressive strength of C50, providing a strong and durable floor.

For large commercial areas of this scale, we recommend Cemfloor cementitious screed. It is a high performance cement based screed developed for commercial and industrial environments:

• Our teams can install up to 2,000m² per day, helping keep large projects on programme.
• Pumped application ensures consistent coverage across the full 1,500m² area.
• The cement based formulation offers the strength needed for heavy traffic and operational demands.
• Faster installation reduces labour time, making it a cost effective solution for large floors.
• Cemfloor delivers a reliable finish that meets recognised commercial flooring standards.

We advise using a specialist thermal liquid screed to maximise UFH performance:

• Faster Heat Response – High thermal conductivity allows the floor to warm more quickly than traditional screeds.
• Improved Energy Efficiency – Efficient heat transfer reduces the workload on boilers or heat pumps.
• Even Heat Spread – The flowing screed forms a continuous layer around pipes, preventing cold spots and promoting even warmth.

Yes. Our ultra thin liquid screed is suitable for projects with restricted floor depths. It can be installed from approximately 12mm while still achieving an SR1 level finish.
