Expert Screed Solutions for Modern Construction Projects
Gyvlon Screed, part of Anhydritec, has been a leader in flowing anhydrite screed solutions for over 75 years. Our expertise lies in developing innovative products that combine technical performance with environmental sustainability. We specialise in self-compacting screeds that offer superior thermal conductivity, acoustic performance, and durability, tailored for modern construction needs. Our research-driven approach ensures compliance with rigorous standards, including BBA certifications for thermal output and structural integrity. With a nationwide network of partners in the UK and Ireland, we deliver precision-engineered screeds directly to project sites, ensuring rapid installation and adherence to tight deadlines. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our technical support team, which provides bespoke solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.By prioritising recycled materials and low-carbon formulations, we support sustainable building practices while maintaining cost-efficiency. Our products address challenges such as underfloor heating efficiency, thin-section levelling, and high-load flooring, making us a trusted partner for architects and contractors. Continuous innovation, exemplified by technologies like FD (Faster Drying) and E2C (Early to Cover), ensures our clients achieve optimal project outcomes. This combination of experience, technical excellence, and environmental responsibility positions Gyvlon Screed as a market leader in advanced flooring solutions.

Thermio Max FD E2C
Thermio Max FD E2C is a high-performance screed specifically engineered for underfloor heating systems. Its advanced formulation enhances thermal diffusivity by 80% compared to cement screeds, enabling faster temperature response and 40% higher heat emission values. The FD (Faster Drying) and E2C (Early to Cover) technologies reduce drying times by 50% and allow floor coverings to be applied at higher moisture levels. This BBA-certified product achieves optimal performance at 15mm thickness above heating pipes, making it ideal for energy-efficient residential and commercial projects requiring rapid installation.
Finio Screed
Finio is a lightweight, thin-section screed solution designed for renovation projects with height restrictions. At 15mm thickness (unbonded), it reduces floor weight by 60% compared to traditional screeds while maintaining structural integrity. The readymix formulation eliminates on-site mixing, accelerating installation by 100% and reducing manual handling risks. Suitable for both residential and commercial applications, Finio provides a smooth, crack-resistant base for all floor coverings while improving acoustic and thermal performance in existing buildings.
XTR FD Screed
XTR FD is a high-strength flowing screed engineered for demanding environments like hospitals, retail units, and industrial facilities. With compressive strength C35-F7 and FD technology for 50% faster drying, it supports heavy foot traffic and mechanical loads while maintaining dimensional stability. The formulation includes protein-free additives to prevent bacterial growth, making it suitable for healthcare settings. Compatible with Lewis steel decking systems, it creates fire-resistant suspended floors with thicknesses starting at 30mm.
Excelio Screed
Excelio is a bonded levelling screed that bridges the gap between smoothing compounds and traditional screeds. At 8mm thickness, it reduces construction depth by 70% while achieving SR2 surface finish standards. The readymix formulation ensures consistent quality and eliminates plastic packaging waste. Ideal for commercial refurbishments, Excelio enables rapid installation (up to 100% faster than conventional methods) and supports immediate follow-on trades, with foot traffic permitted within 24-48 hours.
SoundBar Screed
SoundBar Screed is designed for timber-frame constructions requiring enhanced acoustic performance. When combined with Metsawood SoundBar systems, it achieves Robust Detail E-FT-4 compliance for intermediate floors. The formulation provides a solid, crack-free finish while reducing build height by 61mm compared to traditional solutions. Its high fluidity ensures seamless application over timber joists, and the absence of metal reinforcements eliminates thermal bridging, making it ideal for residential and mixed-use developments.
