Overlay Liquid Flow Floor Screed

With the advancements in screed technology and water replacement additives, manufacturers have pushed the boundaries, resulting in stronger, more flexural screeds that can be placed at thinner depths while maintaining good durability. Some of the advantages are listed below:

• Low-depth liquid flowing screeds are used when there is a need to minimise the increase in the floor height.
• Can be used for refurbishment of old uneven floors.
• Speed of installation: A three-man team can usually install circa 500m2 daily.
• Higher flexural strength: thin section liquid, flowing screed can be installed unbonded as thin as 15mm, thus reducing cost, speeding up drying time, and reducing the risk of cracking when compared with traditional sand and cement screeds.
• Ideal for the remediation or correction of unlevel concrete slabs.
• These screeds are ideal for encapsulating under heating at depths 20mm whilst providing the minimum cover to pipes and allowing high thermal transfer rates.
• Foot traffic within 48 hours of installation.
• Can be used as an alternative to lightweight screeds. Density wet 2200kg/m3.
• Loading within seven days from installation.
• Quality BS EN 8204:7:2003.
• 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.
• These products are usually have100% recyclability
• If required, the floor screed can be force-dried after seven days to reduce programme times before the floor finishes are installed.
• Here at Midland Flooring, we can supply and install the insulation membranes, underfloor heating, and thin-section liquid-flowing screed using our highly qualified, experienced in-house installer teams, enabling us to guarantee the quality of our work.

Thin section liquid flowing screeds are delivered to the site ready to use via offsite mixing plants, eliminating the need for labour-intensive site mixing and associated mixing equipment.

A thin section of liquid flowing screed is pumped directly to where needed, eliminating much of the manual handling operations required to install other screeds.

Thin-section liquid-flowing screeds are pumped using equipment with closed or grilled dispensing hoppers, which remove the risk of contact with moving machinery.

Thin section liquid flowing screeds are finished using a lightweight dappling bar requiring no secondary compaction, thus removing most of the physical work needed to lay other screeds.

Latex or epoxy screeds are generally used for very thin depths of 3 to 10mm. However, if an increase of 15 or 20mm is required, the bagged material options can be very expensive, and a thin-section liquid-flowing screed is frequently more cost-effective. This is dependent on the size of the area.
