Ground Floor Screed

Perhaps not the most fascinating topic to most, but another massive step forward for us.

It is only 09:28 and the floor screeders have been and gone (David Hemmings, Alex and Martin from Street), along with two different lorry loads of mix which have disturbed the early morning peace of Tinneys Lane.

We have used a Gyvlon flowing screed which uses recycled anhydrite binder.  One of the main benefits of this is that it gives improved underfloor heating performance; it also has high compressive / flexible strength, a high recycled content and a low carbon footprint as well as being easy and efficient to install.

Having done the preparation with levels yesterday, the three chaps just turned up this morning, the lorry joined the party, they mixed the screed with water, connected a giant hose pipe and directed the liquid into each room.  It is thicker than water but is still self levelling.  We have shut down the house now until Monday (it is currently Thursday), when we will be able to walk on it and then load on it by this time next week.
