Why use Liquid Screed?

Why is Liquid Screed better than traditional methods?

	Liquid Screed	Dry Screed
Environmentally Friendly	Screed average 36% recycled	Screed average 0% recycled
Underfloor Heating	2.2W/mk** thermal conductivity Reduced cover to heating pipes	1.1W/mk** thermal conductivity
How quickly can you walk?	24 – 48 hours No curing required	7 Days Covering & curing required
Joints	30-40 linear meters	Can only be laid in small bays 5-7 linear meters
Performance	Very low shrinkage Minimal cracking Will not curl	Shrinks Cracks Curls
Surface Finish	Easily achieves SR2 under BS 8204	Dependant on contractor Curls & cracks at joints
On Insulation	No reinforcement required 40mm minimum thickness in commercial buildings 35mm minimum in domestic buildings	D49 or fibre reinforcement 65mm minimum thickness
Unbonded Floor Construction	Polythene laid directly to substrate Minimal preparation No reinforcement required 30mm minimum thickness	D49 or fibre reinforcement 50mm Minimum thickness
Average Drying Times	40 days at 40mm Dependant on site conditions Can be force dried after 7 days	9 weeks at 65mm thickness Dependant on site conditions Must dry naturally
Installation	Self Compacting Quick and no mess!	Requires thorough compaction, one of the main reasons of failure
Savings	Liquid Screed offers Environmental, Time and Cost Benefits
