Why Choose Cemfloor Liquid Screed for Your Buckinghamshire Construction Project?
Getting a flat, solid, and energy-efficient subfloor is one of the most critical stages of any construction or renovation project. Whether you are working on a self-build in Marlow, an extension in Aylesbury, or a commercial development in Milton Keynes, choosing the right liquid screed can make a huge difference to your timeline and budget.
While calcium sulphate liquid screeds have been popular for years, cement-based formulations are changing the game. If you are researching Cemfloor liquid screed in Buckinghamshire, here is why this high-performance cementitious flow screed is quickly becoming the top choice for local builders and homeowners alike.
What Makes Cemfloor Different?
Cemfloor is a specially formulated, cement-based liquid screed. Unlike traditional sand and cement screeds that require manual trowelling, Cemfloor is pumped directly onto your site. It flows smoothly across the floor, finding its own level and wrapping completely around underfloor heating (UFH) pipes.
Unlike standard anhydrite screed in Buckinghamshire, which uses a calcium sulphate binder, Cemfloor uses a cementitious binder. This fundamentally changes how the floor dries, cures, and behaves on site.
Why Choose Cemfloor for Your Project?
Here are the key reasons why Cemfloor stands out for Buckinghamshire construction projects:
1. No Surface Laitance (No Sanding Required)
Flow screeds made of standard anhydrite tend to leave behind a weak and milky layer of laitance as they set. The layer needs to be stripped using a mechanical process before you proceed with the installation of tiles or wood flooring, which means more work for your construction site. With Cemfloor, no laitance layer will ever appear on the surface, making tile adhesive installation easier and saving you valuable time.
2. Rapid Drying Times
Cemfloor is known for its ability to dry very quickly compared to other calcium sulphate-based floors. Cemfloor can be stepped on in 24-48 hours after laying it down. Since it is a cement-based product, it can also be forced dried by use of your underfloor heating system in only 7 days.
3. Suitable for Wet Areas & Bathrooms
Caution should be taken while using calcium sulphate screeds, since such screeds become weaker if subjected to excessive moisture. Cemfloor is composed entirely of cement and is ideal for use in wet environments, like bathrooms and utility rooms, where water exposure might occur during or after construction.
4. Maximum Underfloor Heating Efficiency
Cemfloor has excellent thermal conductivity (with up to 2.9 W/m·K). Since Cemfloor mixes evenly, it does not have any air layers that act as insulation near the UFH pipes. Thanks to this, you will be able to heat your room more quickly and operate at lower water temperatures.
5. Low Shrinkage and Larger Bay Sizes
Due to its composition for low drying shrinkage, Cemfloor may be applied in large floor areas up to 150 m² for non-heated floors and 100 m² over underfloor heating without the need for intermediate expansion joints.
