Modular self-compacting liquid flowing screed is made to exacting standards by quality assured manufacturers to BS EN 13813:2002.

It is a combination of high-quality binder, specially selected sands, water and special additives where required. It is designed specifically for use in modular construction systems and screed is suitable for the encapsulation of an underfloor heating system, either electric or warm water. Modular is suitable for use in both residential and commercial including apartments, schools, prison units, hospitals and single dwellings where light weight and durable modular floors are required. Modular screed also improves the environmental and durability characteristics and gives a concrete feel to a lightweight steel floor.

Modular liquid flowing screeds are installed onto a Lewis dovetail steel decking or decking with a similar design. The modular units are usually prefabricated in a factory and bolted together on-site later.

The decking manufacturer determines the design depth of the screed, which can vary from 40mm to 75mm depending on the loading, joist spacing, and use of underfloor heating. Some of the benefits of decking flowing liquid screeds are:

• This type of screed negates the requirement for a concrete slab.
• These screeds do not require traditional reinforcement
• Foot traffic within 48 hours of installation.
• Loading within seven days from installation.
• The requirement for control joints is significantly reduced
• If the building temperature is maintained at 20 Degrees centigrade, based on a 50mm depth of screed, the floor will reach 60% RH in 28 days or sooner.
• If required, the floor screed can be force-dried after seven days to reduce programme times before the floor finishes are installed.
• Quality BS EN 8204:7:2003.
