With the underfloor heating installed, it is time to lay the floor screed. This is a semi-dry mix. There were two deliveries during the day. The photo below shows the first delivery of 10 tons, the second delivery was for a further 6.5 tons.
The screed was intended to be 70mm thick, but the existing floor was not level so it varied for 70mm to 100mm in places. The end result was a perfect level floor. The downside is that it used more screed that expected, but we still had a enough. The floor was laid in one day – admittedly, a long day.
It takes 48 hours for the screed to go off, so we won’t be able to walk downstairs until Friday. So we have had to reorganise work for the next couple of days.
