If we look at each different type you re going to have different floor screed thickness on the minimum and maximum depths.
Floor screed maximum thickness.
3 sands or 1 portland cement.
Semi dry floor screed what is it and what thickness is best.
Floors and flooring bre 2003.
This is the most common and depending upon the site conditions most popular type of screed used.
The low spot will mean an increase in depth.
Calcium sulphate flowing screed some people call it liquid screed or flow screed.
If the thickness of the floor screed does not exceed 40mm then the recommended mix is 1 portland cement.
Bonded screed minimum depth.
Latex floor screed is normally used to smooth the surface of concrete and screeds when laying thin vinyl or thin floor coverings.
Liquid screed depths calcium sulphate.
The thickness of the screed depends on the characteristics of the base and the requirements for the flooring with the help of a screed it is possible to significantly increase the life of the base on which it is applied because if it is applied the load is distributed evenly over the entire area and therefore the wear will occur evenly.
A maximum thickness of the tie in the flat rarely exceed 50 120 mm.
There are proprietary screeds available that can be laid at thinner depths than conventional sand and cement screeds.
Screed thickness minimum is based on the high spot in the building assuming that a level floor screed is required and not a profile of the substrate.
This is where you a membrane is placed between the substrate and the screed.
35mm to 45mm total depth of screed inclusive of pipe dependant on product chosen.
This traditional screed mix is made up from sand and cement at a 1 3 5 ratio and is then spread onto the floor and allowed to solidify around the ufh pipes or cables.
A minimum thickness of 65mm is possible provided the thermal insulation boards are firm enough for the compaction of the screed.
When bonding directly to the substrate with a bonding agent or a primer the minimum is 1 2mm feather edge with smoothing compound.
Good and inexpensive way to leveling floor it is expanded clay screed.
Bonded liquid screed thickness minimum would be 15mm for the specialist version and 25mm for standard.
Slight imperfections in substrate will show up in these types.
Bonded liquid screed thickness maximum would be 80mm for the specialist version and 80mm for standard.

Maximum depths are around 10 15mm however with the addition of bulking aggregates normally kiln dried sand some latex floor screed can go up to 30mm.
Maximum thickness would be 80mm anything thicker and there is a high probability with more bleed water you will end up with a weak and friable surface that will need grinding down.
The most popular material for tightening layer are sand cement mixture.
