vebroscreed is range of cementitious smoothing underlayments & rapid-set screed additives that have been designed to prepare the sub-floor prior to the installation of floor coverings and finishes including laminate, tiles, vinyl, carpet, wood and polymer flooring.
vebroscreed can be installed on any concrete substrate to improve, repair or level out any undulations or imperfections in the substrate that may compromise the ability to install or the finished quality of the chosen floor covering.
vebroscreed can be installed bonded, unbonded or floated as well as with or without underfloor heating pipework.
vebroscreed flowable cementitious smoothing underlayments and levelling systems are ten times faster to install than traditional semi-dry sand cement screed and can drastically reduce the required screed depth, thus improving the thermal efficiency of the building through the use of thicker floor insulation. This reduced depth also leads to reduced weight and drying times.
vebroscreed smoothing underlayments are available in powder form, in pre-sized and weighted bags that can be mixed with water and applied at a range of thicknesses to meet strengths and drying times that can be matched to your specific requirements.
vebroscreed rapid-set screed additives are available in both liquid and powder form and can be used in conjunction with site batched screeds to accelerate drying times and speed up construction programmes.
vebroscreed can also be used as a retaining screed in conjunction with underfloor heating systems.

Proprietary quick / fast drying semi-dry screeds, such as v-Screed Fast and v-screed Rapid, are suitable to be installed in the following types of installation…
Bonded
The screed is laid onto a mechanically prepared and suitably primed substrate using a priming adhesive such as PVA (polyvinyl acetate), SBR (styrene butadiene rubber), epoxy resin, or as a slurry combination (using PVA or SBR suitably mixed with cement with the intention of maximising potential physical / chemical bond).
Unbonded
The screed is intentionally separated from the substrate by the use of a membrane (usually a plastic sheet, building paper / house wrap, or a cavity drain).
Floating
The screed is laid on thin sheet acoustic insulation, rigid thermal insulation or a void former with a separating membrane placed onto the rigid thermal insulation or void former.
What is a semi-dry, sand & cement screed?
A traditional semi-dry screed essentially consists of sand & cement, mixed at a ratio of between 3 to 5 parts sand & 1 part cement. In the majority of cases 4 to 1 is sufficient.
In the past, reinforcement was achieved by using hex wire (chicken wire) or D49 mesh. However, in the early 1990’s polypropylene fibres (PPF) started to become very popular, and today PPF is the most common used reinforcement used for traditional floor screeds.
By definition, a screed relies on water being one of the principal components added, and with watering involved the screed can shrink. To avoid shrinkage cracking occurring throughout the screed, appropriate polypropylene fibres can be added. Other additives, such as those with water reducing and strength gaining properties, can also be added to make the screed dry more quickly.
Traditional semi-dry screed drying times vary according to the weather conditions, humidity level and depth, as well as any admixtures that have been incorporated into the screed. Traditional semi-dry screeds generally dry at a rate of 1.0 mm/day for the first 40.0 mm, and 0.5 mm thereafter after the screed has been cured for 7 days.
Semi-dry floor screed systems are the only reasonable method to achieve a floor in a wet room type areas laid to falls.
What is a proprietary fast / quick drying, sand & cement screed?
Screed mixes generally contain more water in them than is required to hydrate the cement. Around 40–50% of the water added to a screed mix is used to hydrate the cement, whilst the remaining 50–60% takes up the role of making the screed workable in terms of ease of application.
A proprietary or fast / quick drying semi-dry screed (whilst being based on the same sand & cement ratio as a traditional semi-dry sand & cement screed) differs by the additional inclusion of either a liquid or powdered additive to quickly reduce the level of retained moisture within the screed. These types of additives allow for floor coverings or resin coatings to be laid over the screed much earlier than would be possible with semi-dry traditional screeds.
Additionally, the incorporation of such additives promotes quicker physical strength gain, facilitating early access to follow-on trades. The reduced water demand in these types of additive-incorporated screeds also reduces shrinkage compared with traditional sand & cement screeds.
