Floor coverings - Import export

Floor levelling compounds are generally used to level a substrate so it is necessary to bond them directly to the substrate. The floor levelling compounds then leaves the surface suitable for all floor coverings, especially thin floor coverings like vinyl. Thin floor coverings require a smooth/flat surface to be applied to so that they look their best. If the floor’s surface is not smooth, when thin floor coverings are applied, it will show the floor surface’s irregularities. Cementitious Compounds With depths ranging from 3mm up to 50mm, these products are very versatile. They tend to be flowing screeds to ensure that the product self smoothes, thus providing a surface suitable for floor coverings. The finishes range from epoxy paints and resins, wood flooring, vinyl’s and ceramic tiles.

Wslip membrane, gas membrane, damp proof membrane, radon barrier, liquid dpm e supply and install a number of systems using polythene membrane, slip membrane from 500 gauge to Damp Proof Membrane at 1200 gauge and above. The 500G membrane performs as a separating layer rather than keeping moisture out, whereas the 1200G (and above) membranes ensure that no moisture is made available to the screed and floor coverings. Liquid damp proof membrane are suitable for moist substrates where thin screeds or floor coverings are required and where program dictates a solution is required to lay the floor coverings. Radon barrier and gas membrane can also be installed to prevent Radon entering the building by airflow. Call us to discuss your requirements.

We can offer screeding solutions that will allow you to lay floor coverings (e.g. tiles, vinyl, carpets, etc.) after hours rather than days. Whatever your programme dictates, we have a screed solution to fit. So don’t let drying times hold up your programme, contact us today to discuss the options. Another bonus with fast drying screeds is that you can ‘traffic’ them quicker without having to wait for 7 days. You would have to wait for at least 7 days with a traditional screed before ‘trafficking’ it, as per BS8204. How fast you can ‘traffic’ depends on which screed solution you opt for but, once again, this can be as little as 24 hours. This can be extremely useful if time is tight in your programme. Fast drying screeds are used to reduce the drying time form months to days, which allows for early laying and installation of the chosen floor coverings. Key facts about Fast Drying Screed Allows for early foot trafficking No waiting months to lay floor coverings No need for liquid DPM on
