The concept of Anhydrite flowing floor screeds originated in Europe. Gyvlon moved into the UK in the late 1980’s, being marketed through the company, Isocrete, and started to grow in the early 1990’s. In 2000, the company became wholly owned by the Lafarge group. Today Gyvlon Ltd operates from offices in Warrington.
In the UK, Gyvlon screed is being specified more and more, finding new markets in both commercial and domestic environments.
Backed up by our technical expertise and years of experience, Gyvlon binder based screeds are becoming increasingly commonplace, with a growing following of Developers and Main Contractors who have experienced the many benefits such screeds offer over traditional hand applied sand and cement. Employing modern user friendly construction techniques, this screed can be laid at least 10 times faster than semidry sand/cement screeds without the need for the operator having to revert to old fashioned, labour intensive laying procedures.

Gyvlon Ltd is UK market leader in the manufacture of this type of screed, supplying enough material in the UK for around 8 million square meters of floor in the last 6 years, despite the recession. Hospitals, schools, offices, apartments, nursing homes, shopping centres and sports halls are among the many examples where this screed has been used to great effect.
In October 2011 the Lafarge Group announced the sale of its European and South American Gypsum Companies to the Etex Group, a strong industrial company with expertise in building materials and systems. As a member of Gypsum division, Gyvlon Ltd was included in the sale and also became an Etex Group company.
