LIQUID SCREED

S & M Builders knew exactly that they wanted a liquid screed before they contacted Speed Screed, having taken the time to study the available screeds on the market.

The project was a residential property requiring screed to the ground floor, which extended to 170m2 at an average depth of 57mm.   Liquid screed to be laid directly onto a previously prepared membrane and celotex insulation.  When dry the laminate flooring could be laid directly onto the screed.

Liquid Screed

Screeding on this development would need to be quick and clean.   Completing the work in just one day, when a traditional sand and cement would normally take two days for a standard team.

It has a number of advantages over other products on the market, and include:

  • Increased productivity with areas up to 2,000m2 per day possible.
  • Minimal cracking
  • Joints at 30-40 linear meters
  • Low shrinkage
  • Will not curl
  • No reinforcement required
  • Eco-friendly calcium sulphate binder
  • Foot traffic within 24 to 48 hours

Aggregate Industries plant in Milton Keynes supplying liquid screed was the obvious solution.   The plant is situated only 3 miles from the site, and this would ensure good service with no cold joints in between loads.

Highflow S is the brand name for Aggregate Industries liquid screed, and Speed Screed are proud that they currently use one of our previous projects to promote the liquid screed.

Delivery was made via a truck mixer, with two loads.    Discharge was very quick taking only 30 minutes per load to discharge and pump into the building.  This method did not take up materials storage space, having minimal impact on other residents.

Highflow S liquid screed is a calcium sulphate binder.

The screed was pumped using the latest Putzmesiter SP20 worm feed screed pump.

Foot traffic after only 24-48 hours, meant work could continue quickly.
