Liquid Screed for Light Industrial Units
Practical screed solutions for light industrial units that combine workshop, storage and small office areas within a single building envelope.
Light industrial units often accommodate several different activities under one roof — a workshop or assembly area, storage racking, and a mezzanine or ground-floor office. Each of these areas can have different floor performance needs, and the screed specification should reflect that rather than treating the whole unit as one uniform space.
Liquid screed offers a practical way to achieve a flat, durable base across mixed-use units, particularly where machinery, workbenches or light vehicle movement are involved. Its self-levelling nature also helps when units are handed over as a shell for a tenant to fit out, since a flat, reliable base simplifies later fit-out works.
Speed of installation is often a practical consideration for developers delivering multiple units on an industrial estate, and pumped screed can help keep the flooring trade on programme across several units in sequence.
Shell-and-core delivery
Many light industrial units are handed over as a shell for the incoming occupier to fit out. A flat, well-finished screed base gives the fit-out contractor a reliable starting point, reducing the need for remedial levelling work before floor finishes, machinery bases or partitions are installed.
Mixed-use floor zones
Where an office or mezzanine sits within an industrial unit, its floor performance requirements — thermal comfort, acoustic separation, finish tolerance — usually differ from the main workshop floor. Screed specifications can be varied by zone to suit, provided this is agreed at the design stage.
Light Industrial Units — the points that decide it
- Suits mixed workshop, storage and office layouts within one unit
- Flat, level base simplifies later tenant fit-out
- Pumped application supports fast programme delivery across multiple units
- Can be specified with underfloor heating in office or welfare zones
- Durable surface suitable for light trolley and pedestrian traffic
- Coordinated with drainage falls in wash-down or workshop areas where required
