Floor screed in Kyiv

Floor screeding is an important step in apartment renovation, as it determines the quality of the coating and ensures the evenness of the surface under the floor. This process can be performed both in new buildings and in older apartments with old floors.

Here are the basic steps and tips for screeding a floor in an apartment renovation:

1. Surface preparation:

First of all, remove the old coating, if any (old laminate, linoleum, tiles, etc.).

Carry out repairs and eliminate all damage so that the floor is ready for screeding.

2. Selection of screed material:

Various materials are used to screed floors, such as cement, dry mix, anhydrite, polymer mixtures, etc. The choice of material depends on specific conditions, budget and the need for increased thermal and sound insulation.

3. Level definition:

It is important to determine the desired floor level, taking into account the possibility of installing additional heating systems, waterproofing or sound insulation.

4. Device Reinforcement:

To increase the strength of the screed and prevent it from cracking, reinforcing mesh or reinforcing fibers are often used and added to the mixture.

5. Mixing and Pouring Mixtures:

After preparing the surface, mix the selected mixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions and pour it onto the floor.

The mixture is leveled and distributed by hand or special tools.

6. Leveling and smoothing:

It is important to carefully level the screed and smooth it, taking into account the level, reinforcement and specific requirements of the project.

7. Drying:

After pouring the screed, you must allow it to dry before installing the covering. Drying time depends on the selected material and screed thickness.

8. Preparation for Covering Installation:

After the screed has dried, you can begin installing the flooring, such as laminate, parquet, tiles or carpet.

A completed floor screed guarantees a smooth and durable base for any floor covering and adds convenience and beauty to your home. A properly executed screed is the key to a long and high-quality service life of the floor in your apartment.
