Flowable Screed
Traditional Screed is a specific mixture of cement and sharp sand which creates a smooth, level and strong foundation for flooring. Screed is applied over the concrete, steel or wooden floor to achieve a smooth floor with the correct slope and a better foundation for stylised and custom flooring options.
Heat and Screed uses modern, flowable GYPSOL screed which is based on anhydrite and offers a number of advantages over traditional concrete screed.
- It can be laid at a faster rate as it is self levelling.
- It requires fewer joints at doors and in the middle of large floors and so the final result looks better
- It can be reinforced with fibres to eliminate cracking.
- It can accommodate more complex floor designs.
- It allows for the inclusion of heating and cooling pipes or wires in the screed. This is more efficient for house heating and cooling than the usual practice of installing these heating elements in the structural concrete layer of the floor. These pipes or wires are nestled within the layer of screed, which is poured directly on and around the heating elements for secure and long-lasting application.
Heat and Screed can choose the correct Gypsol flowable screed product from a range created to for specific applications including products with higher thermal conductivity for underfloor heating and cooling, faster curing, high strength solutions suitable for outdoor use, and ultra-thin screed with a depth as shallow as 15mm.
