Floor Screeding Services Since its formation in 1993, John C.Wilkins Ltd. has firmly established itself as a specialist Floor Screed contractor to the shop fitting and construction industries.
Sand and Cement Screed.
Ready-to-use cement & sand screed is an ideal screed for flooring and roofing applications. It can be used as ground floor slabs (floating foundations), used on suspended floors, as a topping to lightweight screeds based on perlite or other lightweight aggregates and can also be used as a floating construction over insulation to give acoustic or thermal properties.
Epoxy Floor Screed.
Epoxy Floor Screed is polyamine based epoxy. It has an exceptional resistance to a wide range of chemicals and abrasion. It provides extremely high strength floor topping with excellent resistance to mechanical wear it produces a non-slip floor finish which offers good gripping surface to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. It can be applied in areas for heavy engineering and chemical plants, in refineries, power plants, paint workshops, battery manufacturing plants and many others.
Anhydrite Screed.
Anhydrite free-flowing and self levelling anhydrite screed designed for easy placement and assured results. Suitable for most commercial and domestic buildings including Hospitals, Prisons, Airports, Shopping Centres, Offices, Hotels, Theatres and Housing. As a levelling layer prior to the installation of floor finishes, Anhydrite screeds are ideal for incorporating thermal and acoustic insulation, underfloor heating and electrical services where required. Although an Anhydrite screed is not suitable as a wearing surface itself or for external or permanently wet areas such as swimming pool surrounds it can be easily finished.
Polymer Screed.
Polymer Screeds have been developed to meet the demand for factory mixed cement:sand screed with the inclusion of a synthetic polymer resin to give increased toughness and bond properties. Polymer screeds are suitable for use on the following bases: Refurbishment work and for thinner, well-bonded screeds over suitable prepared concrete where it is impossible to achieve normal minimum thickness Solid concrete ground floor slabs, Precast concrete units or beams with reinforcement and In-situ suspended floors among others.
Fibre Screed.
Fibre screed has been developed to meet the increasing demand for factory-mixed cement:sand screeds of all mix designs incorporating an even dispersion of polypropylene fibres. The presence of suitable fibres can help to give a more cohesive mix and help control cracking caused by intrinsic stresses. Applications: Fibre screeds are ideally suitable for use in hospitals, offices, superstores, industrial and other applications where there would be a high cost in loss of use through floor failure due to surface cracking of screed. Ideally compatible for use with underfloor heating systems.
Lytag Screed.
Lytag produces lightweight aggregate with applications for drainage and filter media, structural lightweight concrete, floor and roof screeds, arresto beds, sports surfaces and horticultural media. Lytag is a versatile lightweight aggregate that has been manufactured since 1959. It uses fly ash, a waste product of coal burning power stations, as its raw material. Lytag has unlimited applications. Wherever there is a need for an aggregate which is strong, light and consistent then Lytag can provide an ideal solution.
Granolithic Screed.
These have been used for many years in industrial situations and are cement based with selected aggregates. They are extremely hardwearing and will withstand high-pressure hot washing, disinfectants etc.
Tilcon Mortars Truscreed and Truscreed H.D. systems were developed to fulfil the need for factory-mixed high-performance cement:sand screeds suitable for all common floor finishes. Advantages over other specialist site-mixed screeds: Better cement dispersion gives greater and more uniform compressive strength throughout the floor area Factory premixing brings quality control away from the site and into the factory, providing consistent quality materials and accurate proportioning
Ardex ARDIT K15 Screed.
Ardit K15 is an advanced sub-floor smoothing compound. It is virtually tension free and is designed to rapidly level and smooth hard sub-floors prior to applying a floor finish. Ardit K15 can be applied to old sub-floors, e.g. floor screeds and other hard and rigid bases. Ardit K15 can normally be walked on after approximately 2 hours at 20°C and dries and hardens rapidly so that even thick applications are ready to receive floor coverings within one day at 20°C.
Ardex ARDURAPID 35 Screed.
Ardurapid 35 is a special formulated cement for producing a rapid setting and drying floor screed. The mortar is mixed and applied in exactly the same way as normal cement/sand mortar and has a working time of approximately 60 minutes at 20°C. An Ardurapid 35 cement and sand floor screed can be walked on 3 hours after application and is dry enough to receive floor coverings after 24 hours at 20°C. However where the Ardurapid 35 Screed is smoothed immediately after application with Ardit 55 ultra rapid drying self-levelling compound, vinyl and textile floor coverings may be applied in as little as 4 hours.
