Floor Screed

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...

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...

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...

External Floor Screed I'm Andy Parkin, Managing Director of the Multi-Award-Winning Speed Screed.  Generally, if we're talking about any external floor screed, it tends to be concrete. Of course, screed and concrete terminology can be a little bit confusing at times.  Which is which, can they both be the same? What is external floor screed? There are a few questions we need to ask Is the screed to be covered? Do you require a base for something else to go on top? Perhaps bedding for some slabs? To sit decking on? Does it need to be a wearing surface? Some other reason that you actually want that particular substrate? Some of the external floor screed that we can provide can be non-structural but still wearing. If it is a wearing screed, that means you can traffic it. It doesn't need anything on top to prevent damage through wear and tear. Do you need it as a wearing surface or is something going on top that is going to be that wearing surface? ...
