Screed Case Studies Archives

Screed case studies are projects completed by Speed Screed, using a various materials from around the country.

We hope to demonstrate the ways in which our clients have used the various screeds on their projects, and some of the reasons for choosing those screeds. All the benefits and cost savings.

Which Screed?

Giving examples of traditional screed, flowing screed, fast drying screed, rapid strength gain screed, levelling compounds, and more.

Which Insulation?

When we have laid insulation on the project, the type will be identified, and the performance benefits highlighted. From extruded EPS insulation to high density projects, we have used them all.

Which Acoustic System?

If you are looking to control noise, the the acoustic case studies will be of interest. Some systems comply with Robust Details, and others which don’t and would need a pre-completion test when used (if working to Part E of the building regulations).

Which Membranes

Slip membrane? Damp Proof Membrane? Gas membranes? Read the case studies to find out more
