Surface Regularity of screeds for normal accuracy flooring
Surface regularity is generally defined as the limitation of deviation of the surface beneath a straightedge laid flat on the surface. As the measurement criteria varies for different types of screeds and flooring, it is important to ensure that the measurement
Industry Recognition
We are very pleased and honored to announce that the Screed Scientist initiative has gained some incredible attention. What started out as just a little bit of a frustration around the lack of awareness about best practices in our industry
Do you know your Datums from your Surface Regularity?
Is seems there is much confusion in the industry around the concepts of the “flatness of screed” and the “levels” of screed. In an attempt to demystify these two very different concepts we have created some diagrams to explain the
Checklist for onsite supervision for screeding Tips 7 – 10
Following on from Checklist for onsite supervision for screeding Tips 4 – 6 we present tips 7 -10. 7. Finishing Check that the finishing technique is appropriate for the final floor finish that will be used. Wood floating followed
Checklist for onsite supervision for screeding Tips 1 – 3
From the verification of the screed specification to the installation of the screed and the adoption of screed protection measures, a successful screeding project requires meticulous attention and supervision at every step. Given here is a screeding checklist that will
Great New Resource for Screed Care
For a while the Screed Doctor was feeling unloved. We had great content for the Screed Scientist and the Underfloor Heating Man. But the guy who can really make a difference when things go wrong did not have any support
Great feedback for The Screed Scientist
We are chuffed to bits to get some great feedback. If you have been following us for long enough you will know that The Screed Scientist initiative was designed to raise awareness in our industry to address a whole range

The Screeding Winter Checklist
The Screed Scientist® would like to offer some yuletide greetings and would wish that 2013 can become a prosperous year for our readers. We asked the Screed Doctor for his top tips to avoid winter floor screeding problems. Screed Scientist
Design tips to prevent disruption to flooring due to movement of screeds in heated floors
Floors with under floor heating systems are highly prone to disruption in serviceability unless appropriate stress relief measures are taken right at the design stage. As the screeding elements are encased in a screed layer separated from the base by a layer of thermal insulation, the extent of screed movement could be high as the screed expands and contracts due to temperature variations of the heating elements. DIN 18560 Part2 lays out some specific recommendations for incorporating stress relief at the design stage in order to fully accommodate the potential screed movements in heated floor.
