  • Are microcement and polished concrete the same?
    No, microcement and polished concrete are not the same. Microcement is a thin cement-based coating applied over existing surfaces, customizable in colors and textures. Polished concrete involves grinding a concrete slab for a smooth, glossy finish and is generally more preparation-intensive. At Kp Screeding, we offer both options and can help you choose the best for your needs.
  • How long does it take for concrete to dry?
    The drying time for concrete, also known as curing time, can vary depending on several factors, including the mixture, weather conditions, and thickness of the slab. Generally, concrete will set within 24 to 48 hours, meaning it will be hard to the touch and can support some light weight. However, full curing takes approximately 28 days, during which the concrete reaches its maximum strength.
  • What is concrete and what types do KP Screeding offer?
    Concrete is a durable building material made of cement, aggregates (sand and gravel), and water that hardens into a strong surface. It may include additives like mineral colors and blast-furnace slag.
  • How do I calculate the amount of concrete I need for my flooring project with Kp Screeding?
    To determine the amount of readymix concrete you need for your flooring project, you can use a straightforward calculation. Measure the length, width, and depth of the area where the flooring will be installed. Multiply these three dimensions to get the volume in cubic metres (m³).
  • How can I stop cracks from forming in my concrete floor?
    There are several steps we take and recommend to ensure the durability of your concrete surfaces: - Right Mix Design: Use a strong and workable concrete mix with the right water-cement ratio to avoid cracks from shrinkage. - Control Joints: Add control joints evenly during pouring. These joints let the concrete expand and contract without cracking. - Proper Curing: Keep the concrete moist early on to help it strengthen slowly. Use water, wet covers, or curing compounds. - Reinforcement: Add steel rebar or wire mesh for extra strength to reduce cracking. - Good Subgrade Prep: Make sure the base layer is well-prepared and compacted to prevent shifting that can crack the concrete. - Avoid Quick Temperature Changes: Protect new concrete from sudden temperature changes that can cause cracks
  • What is the correct concrete mix?
    The ideal concrete mix for flooring is 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, and 4 parts gravel (1:2:4). For the best advice, contact your us and tell about the application that it is required for.
  • What are the benefits of using reinforced concrete ?
    Reinforced concrete flooring is strong, durable, and can handle heavy loads and high traffic. The steel reinforcement prevents cracks, extends lifespan, and requires minimal maintenance. It resists wear, moisture, and chemicals, making it ideal for industrial settings.
  • What is Floor Screeding?
    Floor screed is a specialized mix consisting of cement, sand, and water, typically applied as a top layer over a base concrete floor. The primary purpose of floor screed is to provide a smooth, level surface for the final floor covering, such as tiles, carpet, or laminate.
  • Can I lay floor screed with underfloor heating?
    Yes, you can. At Kp Screeding, we combine underfloor heating with quality screed for top efficiency and durability. It's important to install and test the heating system properly before adding the screed to avoid problems.
  • How long does screed take to dry, and when can I use the floor?
    Drying time for screed can vary significantly depending on the type of screed used and the thickness of its application. Typically, a waiting period of 24 to 48 hours is required before the floor can be walked on. There are certain additives available that can accelerate this process, allowing floor usage within approximately 12 hours. For floors subject to heavy use or intended for covering with tiles, carpeting, or laminate, it is advisable to extend the waiting period to ensure the screed is fully cured and solid.
  • When can I start moving heavy items on freshly laid screed ?
    Generally, we recommend waiting at least 7 days before moving any heavy items onto freshly laid screed. This time frame allows the screed to develop adequate strength to support the weight. In certain conditions, such as thicker screed layers or cooler temperatures, a longer period may be necessary. Always consult with our experts a to get specific guidance tailored to your project to ensure the best results.
  • How long does it take to lay screed?
