The Process of Flowscreed

Liquid flowing screed is applied over flooring to give a self-compacting and self-levelling surface ahead of the final floor covering. It is pumped into a well-prepared space and requires minimal laser aided adjustment to ensure it is smooth and level. Flow screed should only be installed by specialist, trained contractors.

Preparation

The floor to be treated is swept and cleaned before specialist, extra-firm flooring insulation boards are fitted. A DPM (damp proof membrane) is applied and all joints taped, to ensure there are no gaps. Underfloor heating pipes are installed at this point and securely fixed to the DPM to prevent any lifting while the screed is poured.

Installation

A series of tripod levelling gauges are set up around the floor at various points. These are then laser adjusted to ensure a level surface for the finished screed. The ready mixed liquid screed is then pumped from a hose to the level of the marker tripods. When the tripods are removed, dapple bars are then used to remove any air bubbles.

Post installation

A laitance skin will develop on the surface of the screed. Laitance is a layer of fine particles which will hamper the screed’s ability to ‘breathe’ and therefore delay the drying process. A1 Flowscreed will advise on the removal of the laitance and subsequent drying times.
