What Is Floor Screed?

 

 

Floor screed is a levelling layer applied to a subfloor to create a smooth, flat and strong surface before installing flooring. Screed can be applied to:

 

• concrete floors
• rough subfloors
• uneven floors
• cracked surfaces
• old adhesive floors

 

 

Screeding is essential before installing:

✅ vinyl flooring

✅ safety vinyl flooring

✅ wet room vinyl

✅ luxury vinyl tiles (LVT)

✅ Amtico / Karndean / Moduleo / Tarkett

✅ herringbone LVT

✅ commercial sheet vinyl

 

 

 

 

Why Screeding Is So Important

 

 

If a floor is not level, your new flooring can fail. Without screed preparation you can get:

 

❌ bumps and ridges showing through vinyl

❌ LVT tiles lifting or moving

❌ gaps between tiles

❌ glue failure

❌ uneven and poor finish

❌ cracks telegraphing through flooring

 

With professional screeding you get:

✅ perfectly level base

✅ strong bonding surface

✅ long lasting flooring

✅ luxury professional finish

✅ reduces future repairs

 

 

 

 

Types of Screed We Install

 

 

We offer different screeding systems depending on your floor type and your finished flooring.

 

 

✅ Latex Screed (Self Levelling Screed)

 

 

This is one of the most common systems for vinyl and LVT floors.

 

Latex screed is ideal for:

 

• LVT flooring
• herringbone LVT
• vinyl sheet flooring
• safety vinyl flooring
• commercial flooring

 

 

Benefits:

✅ smooth perfect finish

✅ flexible (reduces cracking)

✅ fast drying options

✅ excellent base for adhesives

 

 

 

 

✅ Floor Smoothing Compound

 

 

Smoothing compound is used to:

 

• remove minor uneven areas
• cover small cracks
• repair damaged surfaces
• create a smooth surface for vinyl/LVT

 

 

 

 

 

✅ Levelling Screed for Uneven Floors

 

 

For floors with dips or slopes, we apply levelling screed to achieve:

✅ flat surface

✅ correct height

✅ strong base

 

This is essential for LVT because it needs a perfect base.

 

 

 

 

✅ Screed for Underfloor Heating

 

 

If you have underfloor heating, screed is important for:

 

• heat transfer performance
• protection of heating systems
• smooth and level finish

 

 

We advise and prepare the floor properly before installing your final flooring.

 

 

 

 

Screed Preparation for Vinyl & LVT

 

 

 

✅ Screed for Vinyl Flooring

 

 

Sheet vinyl shows every small defect, so screeding is vital to avoid:

 

• bumps
• ridges
• visible imperfections

 

 

 

✅ Screed for Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT)

 

 

LVT requires a perfectly level and smooth floor. Screed prevents:

 

• tile movement
• uneven patterns
• lifting edges

 

 

 

✅ Screed for Herringbone Flooring

 

 

Herringbone needs perfect levelling because the lines must be straight. A bad screed will make the pattern look wrong.

Primer is essential to:

FAQ – Floor Screed

 

 

 

How long does screed take to dry?

 

 

Drying depends on:

 

• screed thickness
• room temperature
• product type

 

 

Latex screed often allows flooring installation in 24 hours (sometimes sooner depending on product).

 

 

Do I need primer before screeding?

 

 

Yes — primer is essential. Without primer screed can fail, bubble or crack.

 

 

Can screed be applied on wooden floors?

 

 

Usually wooden floors need plywood first, then smoothing compound. We check and advise the correct system.

 

 

Do you provide screed for commercial floors?

 

 

Yes — we provide professional screeding for shops, offices, kitchens, schools, clinics and more.
