Laying of screed - Строителни услуги и решения от АЛЕКСИЕВ-СА

Do you have upcoming renovation or finishing works? Do you need high-quality screed application but don’t know which contractor to turn to?

We – from the construction company ALEKSIEV-SA, are ready to help you lay the foundations for any new project and remodeling. Screed is used in construction for repairing, leveling, and protecting various surfaces. It can be applied to walls, ceilings, floors, facades, and more, before applying the finishing layer – plaster, paint, or other materials.

It is not only necessary to follow the correct technology but also to perform the work to a high standard for impeccable results. Surface preparation is essential to improve the strength and extend the life of the screed.

No matter whether you plan to renovate your home, office, commercial, or industrial space, our team is ready to take full responsibility – from the initial consultation and screed application to the completion of the project.

What functions does the screed serve?

As we mentioned earlier, screed is an important layer that aims to provide a solid, level, and durable base for the final finishes. For example – on floors, tiles, laminate, parquet, carpet, and other materials are laid over it. Therefore, it serves several important functions such as:

Leveling the surface, hiding large irregularities, cracks, bends, and defects, and making it smoother. For floors, it can also correct significant height differences between areas. In wet rooms, it allows the creation of slopes for water drainage. All of this contributes to achieving better quality on the finished surface.
Protecting the flooring from moisture and other external factors, safeguarding it from corrosion, temperature changes, and other harmful effects.
Improving the acoustic and thermal insulation properties of the surface being treated.
Providing additional strength and durability to the subsequent layers.

What types of screed do we offer?

Please note that when applying screed, there are many details to consider, such as choosing the right materials and application technology. For example, special materials should be used to achieve optimal results. We offer the following types:

Cement Screed

Made from cement, this type is very strong and durable. It is suitable for applying over concrete, ceramic surfaces, and for making floor screed. It can be used in both interior and exterior spaces. Resistant to moisture, but offers fewer decorative possibilities compared to gypsum screed.

Gypsum Screed

One of the most commonly used types of screed for walls, repairing defects such as cracks, holes, and other imperfections. It is made from a mixture of gypsum, water, and various additives that speed up or slow down the hardening process. It is easy to apply and handle and can be used to create different textures and finishes.

Self-leveling Screed

This type is very suitable for use on floors, as it easily levels uneven surfaces and creates smooth flooring. It can be used for residential and commercial buildings.

It provides a level base, ensuring durability and stability. It typically has a short drying time, allowing other activities to continue quickly. In some cases, depending on the manufacturer and conditions, the floor surface can be used within a few hours or even faster.

After application, it self-levels and hardens, creating a smooth and level finish. It has good adhesion to different substrates such as concrete, cement bases, and ceramic tiles, making it suitable for various types of flooring systems.

Turbo-Sol Screed

A special type of screed used for applying and repairing both interior and exterior surfaces. It consists of a combination of cement, quartz sand, additives, and water.

Known for its fast-drying properties, high strength, resistance to moisture, impact, and external harmful effects. Its biggest advantage is the ability to dry quickly, allowing projects to be completed faster and reducing work stoppages.

It is suitable for various types of construction projects, such as residential buildings, offices, shops, and more.

How is the price determined?

Screed application is one of the first activities that need to be carried out when starting renovation or finishing works. To provide the most accurate pricing, an inspection of the site is necessary.

The reason for this is that even if you have measured the exact dimensions yourself, there are certain details that only a professional may notice. For example – unevenness in the base, the moisture level in the room, the presence of crooked walls, and obstacles such as columns. All of these affect the quantity and type of materials used, as well as the labor required for screed application.

Other factors determining the final price include:

Overall area and room size. The size of the space is closely related to the amount of materials and labor required. These factors also affect the labor intensity of the process and the time it will take to complete.
Type of screed. Each type of screed has different characteristics, properties, and prices. For example, when screeding floors, the depth of the screed must be considered.
