What Is Flowing Screed?
A pumpable self-levelling material, flowing screed is designed to facilitate the efficient installation of smooth, even floor surfaces. Also commonly referred to as liquid floor screed and cementitious flowing screed, it requires specialist pumping equipment that enables rapid distribution over large areas, making it ideally suited to commercial environments.
At Trent, our extensive experience as a flowing screed contractor ensures we’re the partner of choice on commercial flooring projects where smooth, consistent finish are required.
Flowing Screed Applications
Flowing screed is ideal for commercial projects where large floor areas demand speed, consistency and efficiency. Because it is pumpable and self-levelling, flowing screed is far quicker to install than traditional hand-laid materials and creates a smooth, durable surface with minimal labour.
It is also well suited to underfloor heating systems in healthcare and education projects, where even heat distribution, hygiene and comfort are critical requirements.
The Trent team utilises a range of specialist liquid floor screed equipment to streamline installation and ensure a perfectly smooth and consistent finish. Chief among these is our boom pump, or placing pump, which enables us to pump into hard-to-reach areas, preventing inconsistencies in the floor surface and ensuring we’re always equipped to work in potentially awkward spaces.

Cement-Based and Anhydrite Flowing Screeds from Leading Manufacturers
At Trent, we install both of the two main types of flowing screeds – cement-based and anhydrite (calcium sulphate).
Cement-based products, such as Cemfloor, Longfloor, and Tarmac Screed C, are versatile, fast-drying, and moisture-tolerant, making them suitable for use on both ground and upper floors.
Anhydrite screeds, including Gyvlon (Anhydritec) and Gypsol (LKAB), are highly fluid and can be used at a thinner depth, making them ideal for upper floors and modular systems like Lewis Deck.
