Traditional Screeds
Ideal for: Residential and commercial applications.
Traditional screed is a classic method involving a mix of sand and cement, usually in a ratio of 1:3 to 1:5. The mixture is applied to the floor, leveled using laser levels and straight edges, and can be finished with a power float for a smooth surface. Traditional screeds are versatile, durable, and can be customized to meet specific project requirements. They are suitable for both residential and commercial applications, providing a strong base for various floor finishes such as tiles, carpets, and vinyl.
Fast Drying Screeds / Ronacrete
Ideal for: Projects with tight schedules or requiring quick turnaround.
Fast-drying screeds are designed to reduce the drying time significantly compared to traditional screeds. These screeds incorporate special additives that accelerate the curing process, allowing for floor finishes to be applied much sooner. Fast-drying screeds offer the same durability and strength as traditional screeds but with the added benefit of faster project completion. Products from MAPEI and Ardex are commonly used in fast-drying screeds.
Bonded Screeds
Ideal for: Renovation projects with height restrictions.
Bonded screeds are applied directly onto a prepared concrete substrate using a bonding agent to ensure a strong adhesion between the screed and the base. This method is suitable for thinner screeds, typically less than 50mm thick, and is often used in renovation projects where height restrictions are a concern. Bonded screeds provide a robust and reliable flooring solution, ensuring the screed remains firmly attached to the substrate. MAPEI and Ardex offer products suitable for creating bonded screeds.
Self-Smoothing Screeds
Ideal for: Large areas needing a consistent and level surface.
Self-smoothing screeds are a type of liquid screed that spread out and level themselves automatically. They are used to create a perfectly smooth surface with minimal manual intervention. Self-smoothing screeds are ideal for use as a final floor finish or as a base for subsequent floor coverings. They provide a high-quality finish and are particularly suitable for large areas where a consistent and level surface is essential. Products from MAPEI, Ardex, and Flowcrete are commonly used for self-smoothing screeds.
