Floor Screed

Topflow Screed A-SP – Skin Free Technology SP skin free technology has been designed to reduce significantly the need for initial sanding of Tarmac Topflow Screed A and its sister products. Calcium Sulphate screed has always been associated with the need to remove the surface laitance before bonding floor coverings. Now Tarmac have a solution! USES SP has been formulated to give an open-textured, skin-free finish, which is ideal for floor finishes and does not impede drying efficiency. SP can be added to many of the products in the Tarmac Topflow screed range to give a skin free finish without affecting the characteristics of the mix. PRODUCT FEATURES Self-compacting Minimum SR2 surface finish Guaranteed compaction & quality Environmentally friendly (Save up to 20Kge/CO2 per m2) High fluidity for fast, cost-effective installation Large bay sizes reduce the need for joints (Maximum bay size 1000m2; UFH 300m2) No reinforcement with significantly reduced cracking and no curling No nee...

Self Levelling Floor Compounds Hi, I’m Andy Parkin, Managing Director of Speed Screed, a Multi-Award Winning Company based in the UK. In this article, I am going to look at how self-levelling floor compounds can help you remove any small imperfections in your floor base before laying final floor coverings. Things to consider when using self-levelling floor compounds These compounds can be used with almost every kind of screed or concrete substrate, but remember to always consider each installation case by case. Substrate preparation must also be considered – as with every other type of screed placement the area must be kept free of dirt, dust and any other contaminants because these prevent proper adhesion. Pay attention to the thickness: Although some exceptional self-levelling floor compounds can cope with depths up to around 50mm, the majority can only be used for depths of 30-40mm and these often need multiple applications or additives. All self-levelling floor compounds should be ...

I’m Andy Parkin, Managing Director of the Multi-Award-Winning Speed Screed. Today I’m here to give you a little more insight into Ronascreed 1 day overlay. So What is Ronascreed 1 day overlay? RonaScreed 1 Day Overlay is a cement replacement used to rapidly reduce the level of retained moisture within site-batched screeds. This allows floor coverings to be set down much sooner than conventional screeds. Rapid strength gain permits light foot traffic after 6 hours. Drying of screeds incorporating RonaScreed 1 Day Overlay is influenced by heat generated during curing, meaning drying thicker screeds is faster per millimetre of screed thickness. Screeds installed at 50mm thickness can accept moisture-sensitive floor coverings, which require 75% surface RH before laying after only 36 hours. Screeds applied at 75mm thickness, or greater can get the same covers after only 1 day. Just What are the benefits of the Ronascreed 1 day overlay? Cement replacement system for rapid drying screeds Rapi...

The Essential Guide to Floor Screeding Getting it right – which floor screeding should you choose? Hi, my name is Andy Parkin, Managing Director of the Multi-Award Winning Speed Screed. Today, I am going to take a look at floor screeding, specifically how to choose the type of screeding to meet your needs. At the most basic level, floor screeding is simply applying a combination of sand, cement and water to an existing floor base to provide a strong, stable surface on which to apply a top flooring layer. Although the process is simple, there is a lot more to it than just placing the mixture and walking away. One of the most critical decisions is what type of floor screeding and construction you need. If you get this wrong, it can impact on the quality of the floor, the finish and, ultimately, how long it will last. If floor screeding is done badly, it can become a very expensive and time-consuming problem to rectify, so let's look at types of floor screeding and h...

Floor Screed Fibres Why Use Floor Screed Fibres? I’m Andy Parkin, Managing Director of the Multi-Award Winning Speed Screed. I’m here to talk about Floor Screed Fibres? There are a number of fibres that are used in floor screeds to help with the prevention of cracks during drying.  They also reinforce the screed resulting in a much more durable and hard-wearing surface making the final layer more stable and resilient. What are floor screed fibres made of? Screed Fibres consist of polypropylene fibres which will increase the tensile strength of the final layer.  These fibres will disperse rapidly when they are added to the screed because they are coated with an agent that helps them spread evenly across the surface.  Adding fibres can cause the screed mix to become stiffer and more difficult to work but this slight inconvenience is heavily outweighed by the benefits of adding the fibres to screed.  Screed fibres are not used to replace any structural steel reinforcement but they will r...
