Proprietary Screeds: Faster, Stronger & Reliable Flooring Solutions

Proprietary Screeds: Guaranteed Performance for Modern Flooring

A proprietary screed is a preformulated, factory produced screed that offers guaranteed performance. Unlike traditional sand and cement screeds, proprietary screeds are designed with specific predetermined characteristics to produce guaranteed performance criteria when installed.

Consistent Quality & performance

Proprietary screeds are made up of a specific blend of ingredients that are made up to meet exact standards, which ensure the desired results are achieved without any doubts of the final outcome. These screeds are engineered to give certain characteristics such as flow, strength and curing times, removing any guess work. The outcomes are repeatable and consistent giving confidence to installers, main contractors and architects.

Faster Installation & Reduced Downtime

Proprietary screeds achieve faster installation times because of their engineered design and application methods, allowing them to be trafficked quicker, making way for other follow on trades to have access to apply floor finishes earlier. Many proprietary screeds are semi-dry form, which allows them to be pumped quickly over large areas quicker than hand applied sand and cement mixes.

Compatibility with Flooring Systems

Underfloor Heating: These types of screeds are excellent are conducting heat, as they fully encapsulate the heating pipes, leaving minimal air pockets. This allows for heat to be evenly distributed around the floor surface. Also providing additional strength, reducing shrinkages cracks, perfect for underfloor heating.

Resin Floors: Resin floors require a very flat, level substrate with high compressive and tensile strengths for ease of application and aesthetics. Resin floors can be matched with a screed to ensure compatibility. Moisture Control: Many proprietary systems
