Liquid Screed – (Aftercare)

Aftercare Guide

• Ensure all openings are closed for the first 24 hours of laying the screed.
  Then open windows to allow moist air to escape.
• You can walk on the floor after 24 hours.
• We would recommend that tradesmen are kept off the floor for at least 36 hours to allow the floor to gain sufficient strength for heavy duty activities
• Underfloor heating can be turned on gently after 7 days. This will speed up the drying time.

Drying Time

• Drying times are greatly affected by site conditions.
• Heat and low humidity can improve drying times.
• Low temperatures and high humidity can prolong drying times.
• The depth of the floor will depend on how long the floor will take to dry.
• As a guideline it is 1mm per day up to 40mm, and then 0.5mm per day after that, e.g. a floor which has been laid at 50mm thick will take 60 days to dry.

Tips for drying

1. Use underfloor heating if possible.
2. Dehumidifiers can be used.
3. Good ventilation.
