What Is Gyvlon Screed?
What is Gyvlon screed? Gyvlon screed is a high-performance, anhydrite-based liquid floor screed designed for superior thermal conductivity and minimal shrinkage. It is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional sand and cement, ideal for underfloor heating systems. As specialist Gyvlon screed contractors, we pump this self-levelling material onto prepared floors to create a perfectly flat, durable surface ready for final floor finishes.
Professional Floor Levelling Solutions
Choosing the right material for your flooring project is essential for long-term durability. Our team provides expert installation of Gyvlon-brand products across the region. This liquid floor solution offers incredible precision that traditional methods simply cannot match. Because the material is exceptionally fluid, it flows into every corner and gap. This creates a seamless finish that is ideal for large open-plan homes or commercial units.
Why Choose Gyvlon Screed For Your Project?
As experienced Gyvlon screed contractors, we often recommend this product for its environmental and structural benefits.
Superior Thermal Conductivity
If you are installing underfloor heating (UFH), this material is the gold standard. It fully encapsulates the heating pipes. This eliminates air pockets that usually act as insulators. Consequently, your heating system works more efficiently, reducing energy bills and warming your room faster.
Minimal Shrinkage and Cracking
Traditional screeds often suffer from curling or cracking during the drying process. However, this anhydrite-based solution features very low shrinkage rates. This allows us to pour larger areas—up to 1,000m²—without the immediate need for expansion joints. This results in a cleaner, more aesthetic floor.
Gyvlon Screed Contractors : Expert Installation Process
Preparation is the foundation of a successful pour. First, our team carries out a site survey to check floor levels and insulation. We then install a tanking membrane to ensure the building is watertight. Once the site is ready, we pump the material directly from our trucks.
This process is incredibly fast. In fact, we can lay up to 200m² in just a few hours. This efficiency makes us the preferred Gyvlon screed contractors for busy building sites. After the pour, we use specialized dappling bars to remove air bubbles and create a smooth finish.
Environmental Impact and Sustainability
Sustainability is now a priority for modern construction. This product is made from 98% recycled materials. It boasts a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to cement-based alternatives. Furthermore, because it is applied thinner than traditional screed, it uses fewer raw materials.
