Rapid drying screed is designed for projects operating under tight deadlines, allowing floor coverings to be installed significantly sooner than with traditional screed systems. This makes it ideal for retail refurbishments, office fit-outs, residential developments, and home renovation projects where programme timelines are critical.
Our experienced team delivers consistent screed installation across projects of all sizes, helping contractors and homeowners keep construction schedules on track.
Benefits of Rapid Drying Screed
Despite its accelerated drying time, rapid drying screed provides a strong and stable flooring base suitable for a wide range of floor coverings. When installed correctly, it delivers long-term durability while maintaining the smooth, level finish required for modern flooring systems.
Faster Project Completion
Rapid drying screed significantly reduces the time required before floor finishes can be installed. Compared with traditional screed systems, this allows construction programmes to progress more quickly and helps avoid delays between flooring stages.
This makes it particularly valuable for commercial refurbishments, retail fit-outs, and residential renovation projects where project timelines are tightly managed.
Reduced Downtime
With faster curing times, rapid drying screed enables other trades to continue work sooner. This supports efficient project scheduling and helps minimise disruption to businesses, contractors, and homeowners.
For refurbishment projects or occupied buildings, this can allow areas to return to use more quickly while maintaining high-quality floor preparation.

Rapid Drying Screed Systems we install
City Flow Screed installs high-performance screed systems from trusted manufacturers including Cemfloor and Gypsol. These systems are designed to support rapid drying while maintaining strength, stability and floor finish quality.
Cemfloor
Cemfloor is a high-performance cementitious screed designed for projects requiring rapid drying and excellent structural strength. It is widely used across commercial developments and residential construction, where both speed and durability are required.
Its advanced formulation allows for efficient installation while delivering a reliable base for final floor finishes.
Gypsol
Gypsol is a flowing anhydrite screed known for its excellent levelling properties and fast installation process. It provides a smooth, consistent surface suitable for both commercial developments and domestic renovation projects.
Gypsol systems are particularly effective for large floor areas and installations incorporating underfloor heating systems.

Not every project requires a rapid drying screed system. Depending on the floor construction, intended floor finish and project timescales, other screed solutions may be more appropriate.
Liquid Screed – ideal for larger floor areas and underfloor heating systems
Self-Levelling Screed – designed to correct uneven surfaces before final floor finishes
Latex Screed – commonly used for renovation projects and smaller floor preparation works
