How long does floor screed take to dry?With all your timbers in place you can now start to mix up some floor screed mix. To ensure it’s mixed as thoroughly and well as possible you do need to use a cement mixer. Mixing by hand for this particular job just isn’t quite good enough. One thing you can also use as a substitute, especially if you’re in a wet climate, like here in the Pacific Northwest, is a 1/4″ crushed, washed aggregate. Wearing a dust mask to avoid inhaling dust particles: This will protect your respiratory system from dust particles that may be released during the mixing and application of the screed. Once your screed guides are in place, add one inch of bedding sand on top of the compacted base. 3. Screed the sand. The drying process happens after the screed has cured. Once cured, the polythene sheet is removed and any remaining moisture can then dry out over 24-48 hours or so.

Repeat this for the remaining timbers, working carefully as you go and wetting each timber before you lay against it. Ensure each screed line is totally flush and level with the top of each timber.

One further point to note at this stage concerns admixtures. These are basically chemicals that can be added to a screed mix that changes certain features such as increasing its strength or thermal abilities, decreasing drying time etc.The key to a successful screeding job is not only getting the right mix consistency, it’s allowing it to dry or cure correctly over a number of days. How Much Floor Screed Will I Need? Once you have laid all of your screeds down allow 24-48 hours for them to cure thoroughly and then gently remove each of the timbers, taking care not to damage any of screeds as you go.
