Screeding Services
GM Floor Screeds are specialists in liquid & flow screed applications for both commercial and domestic properties and take pride in our range of products and level of service.
Sand and Cement screed has always been the traditional choice of flooring materials in the building industry. Installed using traditional methods of steel trowl and straight edges.
Thin Section Screeds are a single component, quick-hardening cement-based screeds for levelling and smoothing floors where rapid drying is essential. These products are best applied by trowel.
GM Floors offers a high quality surface finish in their concrete screeds to eliminate the use of power floated concrete on building sites. It can be applied to applications, slabs, structural toppings, oversites, domestic floors and commercial slabs.
A good underfloor system delivers many benefits for homeowners in reduced energy and fuel costs as well as maintaining a comfortable temperature throughout the year.
Floor preparation is a crucial part of any screed job (good preparation makes a good screed). This includes using various insulation depths to build levels of floors, and ensuring any pockets, air holes and edges are fully sealed before when the screed goes down.
Acoustic flooring solutions can help reduce the level of sound that travels through a floor.
GM Floor Screeds install insulation and acoustic floors to approved specifications known as Robust Detail or Pre Completion testing. This is a specification that tests the transfer of sound before the floor is installed.
To ensure our customers can get the most out of their floors, GM Floor Screeds would always prefer to perform a Level Survey on the floor area, allowing us to maximise the insulation values, helping keeping costs of screed materials down and help achieve maximum thermal values within properties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Depending on the type of screed you choose or require will determine its drying time. Most screeds are normally adequate to walk on after 48 hours at most however some can be walked on within a day and with added additives can be walked on after 12 hours.
It is recommended to leave a screed 28 days before placing furniture on it, however, flooring and some furniture can be placed on the screed after 7 days if completely necessary.
There is a type of floor screed for essentially any property. Whether you want to screed your commercial, domestic or industrial property there is a screed that can be applied. This is because screeds can be adapted to suit the environment they will be in, i.e. screeds can be made to withstand more heavy duty loads if required.
Just like the curing time, the type of floor screed chosen will depend on the thickness it needs to be.
For industrial and commercial spaces with heavy duty applications, the floor screed will need to me considerably thicker than one in a domestic property.
However, it is best to ask your builder the thickness needed to be completely accurate.
Screed and concrete are both made up of the same materials, however, screeds use a finer aggregate, therefore, making the material overall smoother. This make concretes stronger as the extra aggregate adds more strength however as a screed is made to be put over concrete the strength is still maintained.
