One of the many benefits of using a liquid screed instead of a conventional sand and cement screed when constructing a building is the fact that it will achieve a far greater surface regularity, or flatness.<br>

LiquidScreed:More Level And Faster Heating Than Sand AndCement
Oneofthe many benefitsofusinga liquid screedinsteadofaconventionalsandand cement screed when constructing a building is thefactthatitwillachieveafargreater surfaceregularity,orflatness. BritishstandardsdefineSurfaceRegularityofa floor, whichisameasurementofany “waviness”asSR1,SR2,andSR3.Thisis calculated by laying a two-metre straightedge on the surface and then measuring any gaps underneath it using a slip gauge. Toachieve SR1 which is high standard, any gaps must not exceed3mm.
When you have a sand and cement screed it isbarrowed on to the substrate and then levelled out by a man on hands and knees usingahandtrowel.Thisisnotonlyan extremelylengthy(andnodoubtboring) process,butit is alsoverydifficultifnotnear impossible to achieve anything better than SR3,utilitystandard. By contrast, when you use a liquid screed in Winchester,UKScreedsdeliveritready mixed to the site and then we connecta pumpandhosetothetruckandsimply pumpitintoposition.
AVeryQuickProcess Not only is this process very quick – up to 20 times as fastasamanwithatrowel–butbecauseitisinliquid form it is self-levelling, in the same way as when you pour a glass of water. The result is that our screed will always achieve SR2, and in most instances SR1, which isconsiderablybetterthanasandandcementscreed. There are even more benefits when you are installing underfloorheatinginconjunction withaliquidscreed. Quite obviously, because it is liquid it will flow all over theheatingpipesandtotallycoverthemwithout leavinganygapsorvoids.
