Frequently asked

How long does floor screed take to dry?

Drying time varies with the screed product, the depth, temperature, ventilation, moisture conditions and the site environment. Always follow the relevant product specification before installing the final floor covering.

What floor finishes can be installed over screed?

Depending on the screed system and preparation, finished floors may include tiles, timber, laminate, carpet, vinyl and other flooring systems. The screed must reach the appropriate condition and moisture level before the final covering goes down.

How thick does floor screed need to be?

Required thickness varies with the screed product and floor construction. Bonded, unbonded, floating and underfloor-heating floors all have different requirements.

Do I need to prepare the floor before you arrive?

The floor generally needs to be clean and correctly prepared for the chosen screeding system. If you are unsure, speak to us before your screeding date and we will talk it through — see floor preparation.
