Specifying for refurbishment and overlay

About this CPD

Refurbishment projects rarely have the floor zone for a traditional screed. This CPD covers thin, lightweight flowing screed systems that work over existing timber, concrete and even direct-to-insulation in change-of-use schemes.

We cover substrate preparation, isolation layers, and the detailing needed to deliver a compliant, durable finish without overloading the existing structure.

Learning outcomes

• Specify the right thin or lightweight screed for an overlay scenario.
• Prepare timber and concrete substrates correctly.
• Manage load and deflection on existing structures.
• Deliver a compliant finish in restricted floor zones.
