THE NEED FOR SCREEDS IN CONSTRUCTION WORKS
The main role of screeds is to even out a surface and, in some cases, to raise that surface to the desired level. Thus, the surface obtained can be either the final layer or serve as a support for other finishing touches.
The mechanized screed is poured with special machines through hoses mounted on the site. The screed contains cement, sand and some binders that make it elastic and durable over time. For underfloor heating, extra additives are added for preventing later cracks, thus resulting a slightly elastic screed; a perimeter strip is mounted for the screed expansion and also for crack prevention.
The advantages of the trowelled screed are:
Short execution time
Low cost of materials
Flawless quality
Fast drying
MOUNTING CHECK AND MONITOR
Considering the fact that checking of the support surface and of the screed is an extremely important stage that no professional installer should neglect, Milucon engineers strictly follow the recommended procedures. If checking is not performed, problems may appear during mounting and later on flooring usage issues, which no one wishes for. These checks are performed visually on the support and climate in the room with the help of special devices.
Milucon Bucharest has a vast experience in screed application services, so that the end results will meet your expectations. Depending on the preferences, the needs and the particularities of each case, our specialists will recommend you optimal solutions.
SCREED TYPES
According to the execution mode, there are several types of screeds: viscous (wet), cast, dry screeds (fixed or floating) which are obtained by placing prefabricated boards over a separating layer. Also, semi-wet screeds can also be used, but the relatively long solidification time should be considered. A more detailed classification of these may be as follows:
Simple adhering or monolithic screeds which are applied directly
Sliding screeds or screeds with separating layers
Floating screeds (on insulating layers)
Heated screeds
