Cemfloor supplier Manchester
Cemfloor is a high-performance, cement-based liquid screed that is BBA-approved for producing smooth, level and highly durable floors. The British Board of Agrément is a widely respected certification body that assesses construction products and systems.
Benefits of using Cemfloor in construction projects
The benefits of using Cemfloor in construction projects include:
- Speedy installation – the Clockwork Screed team can cover over 1000m² in a day
- Self-levelling – no additional labour or tools are required to produce a smooth, level floor
- Quick drying – allows footfall within 24-48 hours
- Thin application – can be laid as thinly as 25mm without compromising on strength, so less volume is required which results in lower costs
- Ideal for underfloor heating systems – Cemfloor’s thin application and thermal conductivity enhance the performance of the underfloor heating system, distributing the heat evenly throughout a room
- Self-compacts – leaving no voids around pipework
- Compatible with all standard floor coverings.
Cemfloor vs traditional screed - what’s the difference?
If you’re wondering, what is the difference between Cemfloor and traditional screed, here are some distinguishing factors:
- Cemfloor is a cement-based liquid, whereas traditional screed is made of sand, cement and water
- Cemfloor is installed using a pump unlike traditional screed which requires manual levelling
- Cemfloor usually dries within 24-48 hours, while traditional screed can take weeks to dry properly
- Cemfloor provides superior thermal conductivity for underfloor heating systems
- Cemfloor is self-levelling whereas traditional screed must be manually levelled
- Traditional screeds do not self-compact, so rely on contractor expertise to ensure there are no spaces between the screed and the underfloor heating pipework.
Applications for Cemfloor in residential and commercial projects
Applications for Cemfloor in residential projects, both new builds and renovations, include underfloor heating systems, wet rooms and bathrooms thanks to its water-resistant properties, floating screed over insulation, and unbonded screed on a plastic membrane. Cemfloor can be installed on all floor levels of a domestic property.
Applications for Cemfloor in commercial projects include retail sites, offices and other commercial spaces. Thanks to its durability and strength, Cemfloor is also suitable for industrial buildings. In medical environments where smooth floors are essential, Cemfloor is the ideal screed application.
Delivery and installation process for Cemfloor screed
The delivery and installation process for Cemfloor screed begins with meticulous preparation:
- Clean the surface to remove any dust, loose particles or laitance (the powder typically seen on concrete)
- Seal the floor with a watertight membrane
- Apply expansion foam around the edges of the room, including doorways, to prevent the Cemfloor from cracking or lifting as it naturally expands.
Following manufacturer guidelines, Cemfloor should then be poured or pumped onto the floor, starting at the furthest point from the door.
