Industrial Latex Screed Companies Birmingham: 800m² Digbeth Warehouse
Project Overview
Rapid turnaround industrial latex screeding for a 24/7 logistics hub in Birmingham's Digbeth district. 800m² leveled and traffic-ready in 6 hours.
Expertise You Can Trust
With over 15 years of industry experience, UK Commercial Flooring delivers precision-engineered solutions.
The Challenge
A busy logistics warehouse in Bordesley Green/Digbeth faced operational hazards due to a 20mm variance in the concrete slab. Forklifts were destabilizing, and the uneven surface prevented the installation of a new Underfloor Heating (UFH) system. The client, Anon Logistics, required a Day 1 strength of 10N/mm² to resume operations immediately.
- Significant 20mm voids across 800m² floor plate
- Urgent need for 10N/mm² compressive strength within 24h
- Installation over new Underfloor Heating (UFH) pipes
- Strict 6-hour curing window for foot traffic
Expertise-Driven Solution
We specified UltraTech Latex Fibre, a high-performance fibre-reinforced compound. The process involved diamond grinding the substrate for adhesion, priming, and pump-applying the latex at 8-12mm thickness to encapsulate the UFH system and level the floor simultaneously.
Step 1
Diamond grinding of substrate with dust extraction to ensure key.
Step 2
Application of epoxy primer to seal the slab and prevent air bubbles.
Step 3
Flow-application of UltraTech Latex Fibre at 8-12mm thickness.
Step 4
Power-float finishing to achieve a glass-smooth surface for liquid screed overlay.
The Results
The project delivered a perfectly level SR1 surface, enhancing the floor's load-bearing capacity to 500kg/m². The client saved £5,000 compared to full slab replacement and resumed full operations within 24 hours.
