Liquid Screed Company Basildon

Underfloor heating is a fantastic way to add comfort and value to your home! And you’re right to think about the screed, as it plays a big part in how well your system performs. We usually recommend our specialised thermal liquid screed for underfloor heating. Here’s why:

• Quick Heating – It heats up much faster than traditional screeds (up to 80% faster!), so your floors warm up quickly, and you can adjust the temperature easily.
• Saves Energy – This screed is great at transferring heat, meaning your heating system doesn’t have to work as hard, which could even save you money on your energy bills.
• No More Cold Spots – Thermal screed spreads the heat evenly, so you get consistent warmth throughout your home.

Liquid screed is becoming really popular, especially for bigger projects. Here are a few reasons why:

• Fast Installation – It’s poured onto the floor, so it covers large areas quickly, saving you time compared to traditional screed. 
• Thin Layers – Liquid screed can be applied thinly, which is perfect if you have limited floor height.
• Perfectly Level – It levels itself out, creating a super smooth surface without needing lots of extra work.
• Great for Underfloor Heating – Liquid screed conducts heat really well, making it ideal for underfloor heating systems.
• Strong and Durable – It’s less likely to crack or shrink, so your floor will last for years.

Liquid screed is known for drying quickly, but the exact time depends on things like the type of screed, how thick it is, and the temperature and humidity of the room.

In most cases, you can walk on our rapid drying Cemfloor screed within 24-48 hours.

If you need things done even faster, we also offer a rapid-drying screed:

• Walk on it in under 12 hours.

• Start working on it within 24 hours.

• Install most floor coverings after just 7 days.

This means less waiting around and getting to use your new floor sooner!

Keep in mind that even though it dries quickly, the screed keeps getting stronger over time. Our rapid-drying screed reaches a really high strength (C50) when fully cured, making it super durable.

To get the best advice for your project, it’s always a good idea to chat with our team. We can help you choose the right screed and give you a more accurate drying time.

Definitely! We have an ultra-thin liquid screed that’s perfect for situations like yours. It can be applied as thin as 12mm and still gives you a perfectly level surface that meets SR1 standards. So you get all the benefits of liquid screed without losing any headroom.

For a large commercial project like that, a cementitious screed like Cemfloor would be a great choice. It’s designed for big spaces and offers some real advantages:

• Fast Installation – Cementitious screed flows easily, allowing for quick installation. Our team can lay up to 2,000 square metres per day, helping you stay on schedule.
• Even Coverage – We use pumps to apply it, ensuring a consistent and even layer across the entire 1,500 square metres. This gives you a smooth and level surface with no weak spots.
• Super Durable – Cemfloor is made with cement, making it incredibly strong and long-lasting, perfect for high-traffic areas.
• Cost-Effective – Quick installation and less labor mean you save money on your project.
• High-Quality Finish – Cemfloor gives you a smooth, professional finish that meets industry standards.
