Our specialist flooring division are experts in floor screeding and levelling solutions for a range of commercial and industrial environments including food and beverage, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, engineering and sports.
Preparing your floor for long-term performance
The most important aspect of any floor is the preparation. Our floor levelling solutions ensure the highest possible performance, durability and longevity for your new floor.
As premier floor contractors, we guarantee a high-quality, seamless finish.
Tailored solutions to fit your flooring requirements:
Our specialist flooring experts will work closely with you to understand the unique requirements of your project and recommend a screed and levelling solution that will ensure your floor performs to the highest standards.
Get in touch via email, phone or complete the contact form online.
We book a site visit or have a discussion to determine the objective of the install discussing colours, traffic, timeline and processes required.
This includes budget, payment terms, method statement and clarity of design. Once agreed a contract is signed and work will be booked in.
We will complete the work to the highest quality and safety. As per proposal.
Floor Preparation
No matter what type of Epoxy System that is installed the most important aspect is the substrate and how it is prepared whether it is through Diamond Grinding, Shot Blasting, concrete repair or floor levelling.
The key to the success of any floor is how well the floor is prepared and here at the Epoxy Systems Group we have many years of floor preparation experience and we also have specialised zero dust machinery for use in places such as hospitals and medical facilities.
Diamond Grinding
Diamond grinding consists of removing surface irregularities from concrete pavements that are often caused by faulting, curling, and warping of the slabs. The main benefits of properly using this technique include smoother ride, reduced road noise, and improved friction.
Shot Blasting
Shot blasting concrete works by using an airless, centrifugal wheel that propels blast media at a high velocity in a controlled pattern and direction. A blast wheel is accelerated at the concrete surface and contaminants that are removed land in a recovery chamber.
There are two different types of floor screeds
Floor levelling screeds
Levelling screeds are liquid screeds and can be defined as floor levelling compounds, a flat level flooring solution for commercial and industrial environments.
The purpose of a floor levelling screed is to smooth substrates before applying resin finishes. These products are generally fast-curing, low shrinkage and fully trafficable within hours, meaning resin can be applied the following day.
Floor levelling screeds have faster installation times than traditional sand cement screeds making them a more time efficient alternative.
Floor levelling screeds have a versatile nature as they can be installed in a wide range of thickness variations (4-50mm), based on the needs of the environment.
SBR polymer modified screeds
These types of screeds are known as styrene butadiene (SBR) polymer latex screed additives and bonding agents, a hardwearing flooring solution intended for heavy duty environments.
SBR polymer modified screeds are designed to produce slopes in flooring to facilitate variant slope and drainage requirements. These are primarily used for environments where sloping floors to drainage is required including food and beverage and healthcare.
The addition of the SBR polymer modified screed means that the screed can be overlaid in as little as three days as opposed to 21 days for normal concrete which also demonstrates low shrinkage, high early strength and excellent waterproof properties compared to sand cement screeds.
SBR polymer modified screeds can either be bonded or unbonded dependent on thickness (12-100+mm), based on the needs of the environment.
