they can be laid in very thin sections and
have a high thermal conductivity of up to
2.9w/mk.
Since Cemfloor is a cement based screed;
floor coverings can be applied much
faster than calcium sulphate screeds
which require a final moisture content of
0.5% which can delay floor finishings by
months.
Whereas Cemfloor can be tiled at a final
moisture content of 5% and timber floors
can be installed at a final moisture content
of 2.8%; speeding up the entire build
process.
Compared with other liquid screeds which
generally need to be force dried with
underfloor heating; Cemfloor screeds can
be used in non heated floors as it doesn’t
require force drying to remove moisture.

Traditional sand : cement screed. This
has been the standard for finished floors
for many years. Over the years various
additives have been introduced to reduce
cracking and curling, increase wearability,
decrease drying times, as well as meeting
the different needs of customers.
With changes to building control
legislation in relation to the required max
‘U’ Value for floors, insulation is getting
thicker and screeds are getting thinner.
This is to avoid losing ceiling height or
increasing the build height (which is not
always possible in certain conservation
areas). This, added to the introduction of
under floor heating systems, has led to the
introduction of thinner screeds such as
Cemfloor Liquid Screed.
Cemfloor screeds are very responsive to
underfloor heating; due to the fact that
