Cold Weather Working

Following this year’s low temperatures, please be aware that screed plants are unable to batch liquid screeds unless the temperature is 2 degrees C and rising. However, we can accept the delivery if we believe that the temperature within the building will be sufficient by the time the screed arrives on site.

It is critical that the temperature of the screed, once laid, is not allowed to drop below 0 degrees Centigrade for the first 48 hours. In cold, damp conditions liquid screed is likely to set less quickly and it is advisable to avoid foot traffic on the screed for 48 hours, or if it is necessary to traffic the screed before this time, to check the set and proceed carefully to avoid any damage.

We will keep you informed of any disruptions to your installation due to weather.
