Self-Levelling Resin Flooring Screeds

SELF-SMOOTHING FLOOR SCREEDS, FLOW-APPLIED AND FLOWABLE RESIN FLOORING

Although the term 'self-leveling floor screed' is most frequently used to describe flowable resin floor screeds, it is not strictly true; so 'self-smoothing', 'flowable' or 'flow-applied' are more accurate descriptions. The term self-levelling suggests that it is possible to pour the resin screed on to an unlevel surface and it will hide all of the imperfections to give a perfectly level floor. However, surface potholes, undulations and out-of-level floors should be repaired/addressed prior to applying a flowable screed, because it will simply follow the profile of the floor, smoothing itself over the profile of the undulations. 

The Resin Flooring Association categorises two types of flowable resin flooring:

• TYPE 5: Flow applied flooring suitable for medium to heavy duty applications, laid at 2-3mm thickness.
• TYPE 7: Heavy duty flowable flooring suitable for heavy and very heavy duty applications, laid at 4-6mm thickness. 

SELF-SMOOTHING POLYURETHANE AND EPOXY RESIN SCREEDS

POLYURETHANE RESIN SELF-SMOOTHING FLOOR SCREEDS

Resuthane SL is a three-part polyurethane flow-applied resin floor screed that comes in two grades. Resuthane SL 23 is laid at 2-3mm and Resuthane SL 45 is laid at 4-5mm.  Both grades have a self-sealing smooth matt finish with good inherent slip-resistance. It can be used for a wide variety of applications from commercial through to heavy industrial and comes in a range of standard colours Colour Chart. Resuthane SL has excellent abrasion resistance, high chemical resistance and is resistant to thermal shock.  Classified as non-tainting and food safe it this self-smoothing resin floor screed is suitable for restaurants, cafes, commercial kitchens, butchers, bakeries, food and beverage processing / manufacturing and packaging facilities. It is used in labs, pharmaceuticals and test facilities smooth matt hygienic surface makes it easy to clean. Able to withstand heavy plant and traffic it is also used in automotive and aviation production areas, workshops, engineering units, chemical plants and other industrial areas. However, it can also be used as an extremely hardwearing decorative seamless floor finish in areas with high footfall such as stadiums, conference centres, shopping centres, department stores and lobbies.
