Floor screed is supplied semi-dry by tipper to your site.

MIXES
Polypropylene Fibres - These can be added to mixes to help overcome the traditional difficulties associated with ensuring the reinforcing mesh is placed at the correct depth. Fibres can substitute the use of crack control mesh and are mixed into the load at the plant, ensuring an even distribution of fibres.

ADVANTAGES
A quality controlled product over traditional screeds, produced from our computer batched mortar plant, giving better durability.

COLLECTIONS
We welcome collections of concrete or screed from our plant in Perry Barr, Birmingham.

ORDERING
Please allow 24 hours notice for deliveries, although it may be possible to supply at shorter periods of notice. Delivery is by tipper at a semi-dry consistency onto a clean hard-standing or plastic sheet.

RETARDATION
Retander may be added to slow down the setting process if required.

DURABILITY
All screeds are designed to be laid as the base material on which the finished covering is to be applied (ie tiles or carpet).
 

PREPARATION
Any surface to which Concrete Developments’ screed is to be applied must be clean, free from dust and structurally sound, in order that the screed can bond effectively.
 

SITE PRACTICE
When laying screed, proper compaction using a heavy tamp or weighted roller in layers is important. This ensures full compaction and prevents problems. The surface should be finished with a steel trowel or float, avoiding excessive trowelling which can lead to dusting and even crazing on the surface.

In accordance with good site practice, the finished screed should be protected to aid curing, typically using a plastic sheet. Always protect screed from extremes of weather conditions, both before and after placing.

Wherever possible, screeds should be left for at least 7 days after laying, but light foot traffic may be possible after 2 days.
