- čas přidán 3. 03. 2024
- This is a video of the next generation of liquid floor screed we have recently used at a clients build, it is a cement based screed that does not require any sanding before laying floor coverings such as tiles, this screed will accept tile adhesive
The drying times are slightly quicker than other liquid screeds such as Anhydrite and the new screed gives great performance with underfloor heating systems

Before I went off to University in the 1970's I worked with a screeder and boy what ridiculously hard work that was. Nice to see this new technology thanks!
Yes bro once you have worked with a traditional screeder like you have you know what hard work is alright!!!!!
The whole operation is amazing.
Very nice. A flawless finish 👌
Thats unreal, how something so runny sets hard. The damp weather probably helps. Love seeing things like this 👍🏽
Just done the ground floor of our self build in Devon with this and we are very pleased. So easy and level. Just have to watch the drying out to make sure it will be ready for tiling!
I remember using this with Barrett homes on top of bison floors, that was over 22:/24 years ago, ffw that time to present in Australia and they have got no idea what I talk about when I mention this.
I used to love it when we did the paramount partitioning, the level floors where just magic to work on.
Incredible quality as always regards Howard from Cyprus
These guys are great, had them do my extension after seeing your video a couple years back. 👍
Great to hear!
I wish I was there .... this is the work I love! Cheers Robin .. you are a fun channel and love watching from my comfy sawdust life toooo for all these years
Nice one Thor!!! have a great week mate
A job very well done without a lot of fuss, particularly fuss about how difficult it is (it is, of course a highly skilled operation) which seems to be a dominant theme in certain U.S CZcams channels.
Great work
Thank you so much 😀
Lovely birra screde
Spellbinding to watch! Great video
Thank you Chris!!
Looks like a product we used in 70s called Armadillo same color to.used to lay it in bakerys for hygiene purposes
Great - as usual.
Thank you! Cheers!
I've used these guys before, they are nice lads and provide a great service.
I would say thought to keep in mind that liquid screed (regardless of supplier) cannot be laid to the same degree of flatness as a semi-dry sand & cement screed.
It's really close though!!
Thanks for another fantastic Video Robin, it was great working with you on this one and we look forward to assisting you with future projects!
Any time!
Beautiful job, well jealous ♥ 😁
Thank you! 😊
We used Cemfloor back in 2019. No batch mix truck, needed a cement mixer and a pump. It was about £900 for 32 sqm. Certainly dried out much quicker and from memory, structural stud walls and kitchen units were fitted after 7 days. Good stuff.
YES!! ... Back in the 70's it was mainly ALL knocked up by hand ... Seldom Mixers - Sand & Cement .. Proper graft when you were working on your own and an 80 sqr yard - 4 x bed house needed finishing in the one day ... Still - Kept us fit I suppose 😄
proper graft!!!!!
did tat work late eighties hard bloody work when we mixed getting the mix right was a pain at times then we got screed delivered in tippers still had to wheel barrow it in and screed it
Damn.. I wanted to see it once it had set
Like most jobs easy when true pro ‘s do them 👍🏻
I do that with 125mm concrete floor on insulation. No time for power floating any more .
Kris Harbor gave u a wonderful shout out about your fantastic channel Robin. His is very interesting and informative as well. Here they usually pour a slab and then they go from there. That was some rig that u used there. That is your place correct?
Hi Bill, that was super kind of Kris!!! its a great rig!! this is a friends house
I think here in Holland, most common is cement screed. But this looks also very nice 👍
Cool, thanks
Back in my day in Dutchland, nearly 40 years ago, they used a near dry 10 to 1 sand cement mix. Come back the next day on flipflops and squeegee cement water over it to harden the surface. In NZ we finish the concrete floor of straight away. Edit, I just watched a couple of other vids. Looks like it is still done that way.
I see that screed on the wall ;)
Would have been nice to see the end-result. After 24 hrs.
Sorry Barnie, I do have some images if you want to see some of it once dry
@@ukconstructiondefinitely post some pics, of possible, very interesting to see
@@ukconstructionprobably mst peoplr want to see. Maybe make a short video on it?
Brilliant idea, and a guaranteed level surface as the liquid will always level out. Would be a dream to build on. I will be doing a self build soon and I like the idea of it. What’s the approx cost per m2? All the best.
Robin can you give us some detail on how you went from subfloor to screed finish?
So the job was similar to my garden room build and there is a video here at my channel
👌
That stuff is definitely the way forward what a nice finish. As a floor layer that might even mean I do not require self levelling compound.
Also I bet if he used a vibrating tool and just touched it on the floor it would go really flat.
You have to scrape it up loads to tile on it or the tiles won’t stick and it’s like K rend it falls to pieces in a few years
@@dragonfitterDo you mean this newer cem screed has that effect? Or do you mean the anhydrite screed? I have certainly known problems with laying tiles on anhydrite, but thought the cem screed is supposed to elimanate some of those.
What the new cem stuff is no good after a few year?
@@j444nsy4 so I am hearing from other builders
How long would you wait to fit a kitchen on this liquid screed, to make sure you wouldn’t have any moisture problems. And how long would you wait if it was traditional screed?
Another great video. How much quicker is this product to get to laying tiles on top?
About 28 days in normal drying conditions
Great info . Especially what you said about plastering First think I will do that . Please tell me did you install the windows after the plastering? Thinking that’s the way to go to stop windows getting smothered ??
Windows first, but a good plasterer will keep them clean
Also How much per m3 Robin?
In USA just about everything in housed is timber as far as I can see.
Lollypop sticks and cardboard
Robin, how did those splash points come off?? I’ve had this done previously and it knackered my plastered finish as the stuff sets extremely hard and it just created more work. If I did again I’d line all my walls upto 100cm high I think .. and especially the window frames as it can really ruin the factory finish … I’d be very interested to know how it came off for you? TIA
Knocked them off the next day, they had keyed into the multi finish a little and the painter did have a little fine filling!! I should have maybe taken the plastic up further like you mention!!
Can’t get it in Alberta Canada! Lafarge the biggest concrete supplier do a flowing concrete but nothing like that screed. Frustrating when I did my basement.
Shame!!
Top job, on these types of jobs would you say you’re more of a project manager than tradesman?
For 50 percent of my time yep!! I'm a working foreman!!
No thermal barrier around the edge of the room,
On the existing walls these have become internal and this is now not relevant, the external new timber framed walls are mass filled with PIR exceeding regs and then the new insulated Plasterboard that is the kooltherm type is fitted to the timber frame prior to the screed and this separates the screed from the studs thus creating the thermal barrier
Hi Robin, how much would a coverage area like that cost, ballpark?
Hi Nick, reach out to the guys at Southern Screed, there prices vary based on area and quantity location of work etc, so I don't want to say a figure that may not be the actual case, it is very comparable to a traditional screed
How much £ ?
What depth was that Robin?
I keep trying to get garage levelled off but local screeners say min 40mm.
Surface needs from 3mm to 25mm by the door to take out the built in slope.
Reckon I’m going to have to use self levelling…
Hi Rob this was 50mm, I recall that the guys can go thinner... maybe ask them?
Cheers Robin
We’d use Weber or mapei renovation screed for that.
Ageela
what are those things sticking out of the screed in the middle of the floor?
height gauges (the things that get thrown in a bucket around 10:58 ) the stuff that stays in there (in the middle of the floor) will be drains and other utility access points for whatever
Hello Robin are you in Germany this week?
Yes on Wednesday are you??
@@ukconstruction yes mate we go out tomorrow
What’s it like dry? Stick a 2m straight edge on it. I hate grinding floors off 😢.
This is super flat maybe plus or minus 2mm over 2m
how much does it cost per square metre to get this done?
That can depend on how many m2 you need, obviously the larger the area the better, reach out to the guys on Instagram and they will give you an idea
great job,. who removed your cladding? bastards! 😂
Yep I know!!!!
By the way it Still needs grinding 👍🏼
Why did he not spike roller it ?
This product is 50mm thick over plastic underfloor heating pipes, so with this type of material it's more of a tamped or dappled application
So how much did that cost
I will check that with my client and come back to you!!
Did you get a cost? Just a ballpark figure. @@ukconstruction
Can this be polished?
No this cant be a polished finish
Nothing new about it. Used both gypsum and cement based over 30 years ago. One danish one swedish. Finished with a nylon brush to bring the air out. Cement based a spatula.
Cemfloor should be placed not pushed. They must be right though because they have a truck…
Would be even better if it lasted 5 months
Wot! No re-bar ?
Not in this screed its not structural
ok until a leak occurs!
6 months before floor can go down
I hope these UFH Loops we’re sleeved at the Manifold??.....Any self Level screed is soft, unlike concrete. Concrete has much better Thermal Mass features.
This screed is super strong hence why it can be laid thinner than traditional sand and cement screeds, we use a Nu Heat corner former at the point where it leaves the screed and travels vertically to the manifold
@@ukconstruction But Mate, you’re missing the point. A thick concrete screed with UFH is a huge Thermal Mass. The bigger the Thermal Mass, the more economical to heat the property.
Nu Heat will, like all UFH companies, sell you as much pipe as they can & oh yeah, loads of unnecessary controls too!!
‘
‘The thicker the screed, the less pipe & Fuel you need’!!!
Here in Scotland we’ve been fitting UFH for 30-40 years, you little Engerlanders have only started doing it recently. We’re experts on the subject!!!
This screed is 50mm thick so about 35mm cover over the underfloor pipes, pretty standard for most underfloor systems and applications in new builds??? what thickness are you talking about?
Hi Robin, after having liquid screed laid how long would you leave it before fitting a kitchen
The screed takes about 28 days to release all its moisture in suitable drying conditions, it can be dried quicker with gentle use of the underfloor heating and dehumidification, You can work on it after 24 hrs I would wait a couple of weeks before I started to fit joinery such as a kitchen
