What is higher strength traditional screed used for?

At JCW, we supply higher strength traditional screed for various domestic and commercial projects.

Our floor screed is ideal for high point loading or buildings that receive high levels of foot traffic. It can be applied directly to the base or laid unbonded to a suitable damp proof membrane – making it an excellent choice to cover underfloor heating pipes.

How does JCW deliver higher strength traditional floor screed?

For us at JCW, safety is paramount. Generally, we use large 6 or 8 wheel tipper vehicles to carry up to 20 tonnes of higher strength floor screed. But if space is at a premium, and there’s only limited room available, we can issue a smaller vehicle.

What are the benefits of higher strength traditional floor screed?

Our higher strength floor screed provides enhanced working properties and offers easier compaction. One of the biggest benefits of higher strength screeds is that they reduce drying times – meaning you can apply the final floor finish faster.

A higher strength floor screed can be used within 8-12 hours, however, we advise light foot traffic for 2 days and site traffic in 5 days to ensure the screed has cured properly.
