Floor Screeding in Glasgow

Floor screeding leaves a smooth sub-floor on top of existing cement or insulation, which creates the ideal surface for a finishing layer to be fitted, such as carpet, stone or tile.

There are two main reasons to screed a floor:

• Levelling an uneven floor.

The most common use of floor screed is to level an uneven floor, whether this be to make renovating a house easier or to meet health and safety requirements in a warehouse. Screeding a floor creates an ideal reinforced, level base.

• Covering underfloor heating

Another popular use of floor screed is to cover underfloor heating. Floor screeding can act as a thermal insulator, making it a great material for conducting heat. Therefore, with the right type of screeding, underfloor heating can heat an entire room, making it an increasingly popular, efficient choice.

If you’re still unsure about whether floor screeding is right for you, don’t hesitate to get in touch – we’re more than happy to answer any of your questions.

The type of screed best suited to your project depends on several factors:

• The location
• The size of the area
• The timeframe involved
• The footfall of the area

Here at JCW Floor Screeding we offer three types of floor screeding in Glasgow, each with their own benefits.

Fibre-reinforced sand and cement floor screed

Fibre-reinforced sand and cement floor screed has been mixed with polypropylene fibres to speed up curing time and minimise cracking. Not only does this screed reduce permeability, but it also improves toughness and flexural fatigue resistance.

Higher-strength sand and cement floor screed

With quicker early strength development and greater final strength, this screed has been especially designed for areas where heavy traffic and high point loading is expected.

The low water/cement ratio within this seed results in reduced drying shrinkage.

Quick-drying sand and cement floor screed

Depending on site conditions, quick drying floor screed needs just five days drying time before the floor covering can be introduced. This makes it especially suitable for busy locations with time sensitive requirements.
