Liquid Screed Company Chelmsford

Liquid screed is a popular choice for flooring projects, offering several benefits over traditional screed, especially for larger areas. Here’s why:

• Quick Installation – Liquid screed is poured, allowing for rapid coverage of large floor spaces. This significantly reduces installation time compared to traditional screed.
• Reduced Thickness – Liquid screed can be applied in thinner layers, making it ideal for projects with limited floor height or where minimising floor build-up is important.
• Self-Levelling – Achieve a perfectly smooth surface with ease. Liquid screed’s self-levelling properties eliminate the need for extensive levelling and trowelling.
• Ideal for Underfloor Heating – Liquid screed’s excellent heat conductivity ensures efficient and uniform heat distribution for optimal underfloor heating performance. 
• Enhanced Durability – Liquid screed is less prone to cracking and shrinkage, resulting in a long-lasting and resilient floor.

For a project that size, a cementitious screed like Cemfloor would be an excellent option. It’s designed for large-scale commercial applications and offers several key benefits:

• Efficient Installation – Cementitious screed is highly fluid, enabling rapid installation. Our experienced team can lay up to 2,000 square metres per day, ensuring your project stays on schedule.
• Comprehensive Coverage – Pumped application ensures consistent and uniform coverage across the entire 1,500 square metre area, resulting in a smooth and level surface without any weak points.
• Exceptional Durability – Cemfloor’s cement-based composition provides exceptional strength and durability, making it ideal for high-traffic commercial environments.
• Cost-Effectiveness – Rapid installation and reduced labour requirements contribute to cost savings on your project.
• High-Quality Finish – Cemfloor delivers a smooth, high-quality finish that meets industry standards, ensuring a professional result for your commercial space.

Underfloor heating is a great choice for home comfort! And the type of screed used significantly impacts its efficiency. We recommend our specialised thermal liquid screed for optimal performance. Here’s why:

• Rapid Heating – Our thermal screed heats up considerably faster than traditional screeds (up to 80% faster!), allowing for quicker floor warming and responsive temperature adjustments.
• Energy Efficiency – Its superior heat transfer properties reduce the workload on your heating system, potentially leading to lower energy bills.
• Uniform Heat Distribution – Thermal screed ensures even heat distribution, eliminating cold spots and providing consistent warmth throughout your home.

Absolutely! Our ultra-thin liquid screed is the ideal solution. It can be applied as thinly as 12mm while still achieving a superbly level surface that meets SR1 standards. This allows you to benefit from liquid screed’s self-levelling properties and quick drying time without compromising headroom in your space.

Liquid screed is known for its quick drying time. However, the exact duration varies depending on factors like screed type, depth, and environmental conditions (temperature and humidity).

Generally, most liquid screeds, including our standard Cemfloor option, allow foot traffic within 24-48 hours.

For faster project completion, we also offer a rapid-drying screed: 

• Foot traffic is possible in under 12 hours.

• Heavier work traffic can resume within 24 hours.

• Most floor coverings can be installed after just 7 days.

This minimises downtime and allows you to use your new floor sooner.

While the initial drying time is short, remember that screed continues to cure over time. Our rapid-drying screed reaches a compressive strength of C50 when fully cured, ensuring long-term durability.

We recommend discussing your project needs with our team for personalised advice on drying times and to determine the most suitable screed for your Chelmsford property.
