When fitting out a beauty salon or hairdressing space, much of the focus goes on décor, lighting, and furniture — all essential elements in creating the right atmosphere. But there’s one crucial foundation that often gets overlooked: the floor screed.
At Interior Screed Group Ltd, we understand that the success of a salon fit-out starts from the ground up. Whether you’re opening a new space or renovating an existing one, professional floor screeding plays a key role in ensuring both visual impact and long-term durability.
First Impressions Begin at Floor Level
In salons, first impressions start underfoot — your flooring needs to be smooth, level, and professionally finished to reflect the quality of your service
Poor subfloor preparation can lead to uneven floor finishes, visible imperfections, and even trip hazards. With a properly installed screed, you create a stable, even surface ready for floor coverings such as:
Luxury vinyl tiles (LVT)
Polished concrete
Porcelain tiles
Resin coatings
Why Salons Need Strong Subfloors
Beauty salons and hairdressers deal with constant footfall, heavy equipment, and occasional spills — a tough environment for any flooring. That’s why it’s essential to invest in a screed that offers more than just a smooth finish.
We recommend fibre-reinforced sand and cement screed, which offers:
✔ A hard-wearing base to support salon chairs and equipment
✔ Compatibility with underfloor heating systems
✔ The ability to form slight gradients where needed (e.g. for backwash basins)
✔ Improved resistance to cracking and moisture
Summary
Whether you’re working with a high-end interior designer or managing your own refurbishment, don’t let the subfloor be an afterthought. A well-laid screed supports everything above it — from flooring to furniture — and contributes to a safer, more attractive space for your staff and clients alike.
