Gyvlon Screed

What Gyvlon Screed does

Gyvlon Screed is a UK brand of engineered anhydrite flowing screeds operated by Anhydritec Ltd, part of the Minersa corporate group, headquartered in Warrington, England. The company manufactures and distributes a portfolio of calcium sulfate-based liquid floor screeds — branded ECO, THERMIO MAX FD E2C, EXCELIO, FINIO, XTR, SKY, STEELDECK, and SOUNDBAR — designed for underfloor heating, acoustic performance, thin-section levelling, high-rise construction, steel-deck floors, and timber-frame buildings. The ECO brand has been established as the reference flowing screed in Europe for over 30 years, with products carrying BBA-certified thermal performance for UFH applications and EN 13813 compliance (UKCA, CE, UKNI markings).

The company's business model is B2B sales-led, targeting architects, specifiers, builders, developers, and specialist contractors (UFH contractors, timber-frame builders). Revenue is generated through one-time product sales distributed via a network of approved screed suppliers (including Tarmac, Maen Karne, Flowmix, Marshalls, Glendinning) and professional screedlayers (TCS Screeding, Smooth-Flow, Central Flow Screed, EDS Floors). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by product type, project size, location, and delivery requirements. Technical specification and support are provided directly through BIM Smith integration, NBS Plus listings, and three RIBA-approved CPD seminars, while distribution is restricted to the UK and Ireland market. Customer end-uses span residential, commercial, hospitality, education, and government projects, with named deployments including a 47-floor London high-rise (35,000 m2), the Salcombe Hotel (1,800 m2), the Derby Civic Centre refurbishment (11,000 m2), and Prince Henry's Evesham school (1,600 m2).

The operational footprint is intentionally lean: the entity records only 5 employees with manufacturing and broader group operations handled at the parent Anhydritec/Minersa level. The company has no public funding history, no disclosed M&A activity, and no leadership changes reported, reflecting a stable, mature niche operation rather than a venture-backed or rapidly scaling business.

Direct peers

• Sika: Sika produces SikaScreed and related flooring systems including self-levelling and cementitious screeds for commercial and residential construction, competing head-to-head with Gyvlon on underfloor heating and acoustic floor screed specifications. Global construction chemicals leader with overlapping UK specification footprint.
• Fosroc: Fosroc manufactures construction chemicals including screeds, levelling compounds, and flooring systems for UK and international markets. Direct overlap with Gyvlon's commercial screed and underfloor heating specifications.
• Saint-Gobain Weber: Saint-Gobain Weber manufactures weber.floor flowing screeds and flooring solutions across Europe, directly competing with Gyvlon's ECO and THERMIO lines in the UK and Irish markets. Operates as a division of Saint-Gobain with broader product breadth but similar specifier-driven go-to-market.
• Ronacrete: Ronacrete manufactures and supplies screeds, concrete repair products, and flooring systems for UK construction, competing with Gyvlon across commercial, residential, and refurbishment segments. Similar mid-sized UK specialist manufacturer with specification-driven sales.
• ARDEX: ARDEX manufactures a full range of screeds, levelling compounds, and flooring systems including anhydrite-based products that directly overlap with Gyvlon's portfolio. Operates a similar UK specification-led model with CPD seminars and NBS Plus listings.
• Mapei: Mapei offers Topcem, Mapecem, and related screed binders and self-levelling compounds used across UK commercial and residential projects. Competes with Gyvlon in the anhydrite/calcium sulfate screed category and shares the same B2B specifier and contractor channel structure.
• Instarmac (UltraFloor): Instarmac's UltraFloor brand produces levelling screeds and smoothing compounds for UK commercial and residential flooring contractors. Direct competitor in the thin-section levelling category where Gyvlon's EXCELIO competes.

Broad incumbents

• Knauf: Knauf is one of Europe's largest gypsum and anhydrite producers with screed binder products directly comparable to Gyvlon's CAB 30 binder. As a major incumbent in the gypsum value chain, Knauf represents both a potential supplier relationship and a competing finished screed supplier.
• Tarmac (CRH): Tarmac is both a key Gyvlon ready-mix supply partner and a producer of competing screed products through its broader building materials portfolio. As a CRH subsidiary, Tarmac has national ready-mix reach that creates a complex partner-competitor dynamic for Gyvlon.
• Cemex: Cemex is a major UK ready-mix and screed supplier with anhydrite and cement-based screed products that overlap with Gyvlon's portfolio at the contractor/specifier interface. Larger incumbent with broader cement and aggregates exposure but competing for the same commercial screed specifications.
