Fast Drying Floor Screed

Fast drying floor screed is becoming more and more popular with our clients and for good reason. Special additives enable this type of floor screed to dry quicker and therefore allow any floor covering to be laid much sooner.

With fast drying floor screed, drying times are slashed from months down to mere hours. For commercial settings especially, where lengthy drying times can cause unacceptable business downtime, fast drying floor screed is not just a preferred choice, it is essential.

How Fast Does Quick Drying Floor Screed Dry?

Standard floor screed dries at a normal rate of 1mm per day, up to 40mm and 0.5mm per day, thereafter. This would typically mean that an average 75mm screed application would take around 110 days to dry at a temperature of 20 degrees.

Fast drying floor screed, thanks to its additives, typically dries within hours of being laid. There really is no better option when you are looking for quick drying times.
