Taylor Lindsey - Lincoln Site

This flats project is located on Taylor Lindsey’s premium Lincoln site. The requirement was for Lincoln screed, insulation, membrane and acoustic insulation. The acoustic insulation was essential to pass Part E of the building regulations relating to sound.

Lincoln Screed

For this project, we used 1:4 Fibre Screed, with IsoRubber acoustic insulation from Thermal Economics. The systems meets with Robust Details E-FC-4 which is a 65mm cement-sand ratio screed. At 65mm a 1:4 Fibre Screed meets with the density requirements of Robust Detail. When working to Robust Details, there is no need to have pre-completion sound testing carried out on the units as long as all the steps in the system have been carried out to the standards required. Part E only applies to multi occupancy buildings, however many other projects benefit from this type of noise control. The installation of the IsoRubber is critical to performance, and has to meet the high standards of Robust Detail.  Firstly the Isoedge was installed to all vertical points, and then rubber based is laid.  There should be no transmission pathways for sound.  Once installed the Lincoln screed project could continue. The 1:4 Fibre screed was site batched, with the screed being mixed using a Putzmeister M760 with skip and scarper. The skip and scraper working together to reduce labour effort when mixing the screed. Screed Mixing

When mixing half of the sand is placed in the vessel, then cement, water and construction fibres Adfil Fibrin 660F. The fibres are present to significantly reduce the occurrence of plastic shrinkage and plastic settlement cracking in screed. The second half of the sand is then added into the vessel before mixing begins. For convenience the screed is pumped to the exact location where it is required, and then the installers lay the screed to provided datums. Read the full article

Floor Screeders Harrogate

Sewell Group - Floor Screeders Harrogate Grammar School - Site Visit When the Sewell Group were awarded the contract for a new student entrance at Harrogate Grammar School, Speed Screed was their first choice for floor screeders in Harrogate. Speed Screed's Managing Director Andy Parkin visited the site in Harrogate to discuss the forth coming works, and to familiarise himself with the project .  Speed Screed are excited to be working with the Sewell Group, and look forward to delivering screed to the highest standard.  We very much appreciative being first choice floor screeders Harrogate. The project requires a combination of two products, Cemex Readyscreed, and Cemex Supaflo.  A traditional sand and cement, and a flowing calcium sulphate screed.  The products meet the differing requirements at Harrogate Grammar School. At Speed Screed we LOVE screed, contact us. Read the full article

Floor Screeders Chesterfield - Site Visit - Floor Screed Contractors Chesterfield

Abbotsbury Contractors Ltd - Floor Screeders Chesterfield - Site Visit Speed Screed's Managing Director visited Abbotsbury Contractors Ltd site in Holymoorside, Chesterfield.  We are very appreciative to be considered  first choice floor screeders Chesterfield. The project is a large luxury house, with around 300m2 on the ground floor. The build of the floor was Insulation Damp Proof Membrane John Guest underfloor heating tray and pipes Calcium Sulphate Flowing Screed at 60mm   Flowing Screed - Underfloor Heating The calcium sulphate screed would be delivered in a truck mixer and discharged directly into a screed pump.  The screed is pumped exactly where the screeders require the material, ensuring all level requirements are met. Flowing screed is the perfect partner for wet underfloor heating systems, with it's excellent thermal conductivity, it really is the choice of screeds. Speed Screed just LOVE screed, please contact us if we can help. Read the full article
