What is Flow Screed?

Flow screed, also known as liquid screed, is a self-levelling screed that provides a smooth and level surface for various types of floor finishes. Made from a mixture of water, cement, and sand, flow screed is particularly effective for underfloor heating installations, as it fully encapsulates the heating pipes, ensuring optimal heat distribution. This screed is easy to apply and dries quickly, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial projects.

What are the Benefits of Flow Screed?

There are multiple advantages associated with flow screed, making it a highly suitable option for modern construction:

• Fast Installation: Flow screed can be installed quickly and efficiently, reducing overall project timelines.
• Self-Levelling: The liquid nature of flow screed allows it to spread evenly across the floor, resulting in a perfectly level surface.
• Compatible with Underfloor Heating: Flow screed fully covers and adheres to underfloor heating pipes, improving heat efficiency.
• Smooth Finish: Flow screed creates a smooth and even surface that is ready for a variety of floor finishes.
• Low Shrinkage: Flow screed experiences minimal shrinkage as it dries, reducing the risk of cracks and gaps forming.

Is Flow Screed Better than Traditional Screeds?

Whether flow screed is better than traditional screeds depends on your project requirements. Here are some points of comparison:

• Installation Speed: Flow screed is typically faster to install than traditional sand and cement screeds, making it ideal for projects with tight deadlines.
• Surface Level: The self-levelling properties of flow screed often result in a smoother and more level finish than traditional screeds.
• Compatibility: Flow screed is more compatible with underfloor heating systems than traditional screeds, ensuring better thermal performance.
• Drying Time: Flow screed generally dries faster than traditional screeds, allowing for quicker application of the final floor finish.

In summary, flow screed is often the preferred choice for modern flooring projects that require speed, efficiency, and compatibility with underfloor heating systems.

How Much is Flow Screed per m²?

The cost of flow screed varies based on the project specifications, such as the area to be covered and the thickness required. On average, you can expect to pay between £15 and £20 per m² for a standard flow screed installation.
