    Damp concrete floor

    Yes only 1 coat because the primer for the screed acts as both a bonding primer and a second layer of DPM. So yes, you are correct in thinking that you need 2 coats of DPM, but this is achieved with 1 coat of Monoprufe DPM and 1 coat of Ronafix:cement primer. Bristol; contact Burdens...

    Partly Hollow Screeded Floor

    You don't say how thick the screed is but the fact that you're concerned that it sounds hollow suggests you intended it to be bonded to the concrete beneath. For screeds to bond to concrete, the concrete must be sound, strong, stable, with no powdery laitance on the surface. The normal...

    Drying times for new screed?

    Yes, it takes 1 day per mm, so allow 50 days - or 7 weeks - for a 50mm screed to be dry enough to overlay with impermeable coverings such as vinyl and carpet. The easiest way to speed the process is to use a product called Uniscreed. There are 3 grades: Uniscreed Standard (a liquid admix)...
