Subfloor & Screed

The 90% of the job nobody sees.

A finish floor is only as flat as what's under it. We prep every subfloor properly — DPMs, primers, latex smoothing and full liquid screeds — so the visible floor lasts.

§ 03 · Questions

Good to know.

Why do I need latex if the floor looks flat?+

The eye misses 3–5mm undulations that LVT and thin-plank floors show up. Latex guarantees a true plane.

How long before I can lay on top?+

Latex: 4–24 hrs. Liquid anhydrite screed: 1 day per mm depth to 40mm, then slower.
