Types of screed flooring

There are several types of screed flooring, ranging from more traditional screeds to modern liquid screeds. Traditional screed flooring is made from cement and sand mixed together. You can also use calcium sulphate (anhydrite) screeds or cementitious liquid floor screed. Clockwork Screed supply cementitious screed flooring as we believe this is the most versatile and best performing option.

Traditional screeds can be bonded, partially bonded or unbonded, depending on whether or how it is bonded to the substrate using a bonding agent or primer. Partially bonded screed is cheaper than bonded screed but not as durable. Unbonded floor screed is separated from the substrate by a membrane.

Benefits of floor screed

Using floor screed offers benefits to your project and the lifecycle of a building. Liquid floor screed is particularly beneficial when laid onto underfloor heating systems because it facilitates the even distribution of heat and maximises the system’s performance. Floor screed creates a smooth, level floor, on top of which you can apply a final floor finish in the confidence that the resulting flooring will be level and not crack due to imperfections. As an alternative to insulation boards, floor screed produces little waste and is a less labour intensive process.
