The basics
What is screed?
If you are new to screeding, here is the short version: what it is, what it does and why it matters to your finished floor.
Definition
Screed is a layer laid over a concrete slab or insulation to give a level, smooth base for flooring. It is either a sand and cement mix or a flowing screed, usually calcium sulphate based.
Purpose
The primary function of a floor screed is to provide a level, smooth and durable surface for the installation of various flooring types.
Materials
Sand, cement and water for traditional screed; calcium sulphate (anhydrite) or cement binders for flowing screed. Additives or fibres can speed drying or add strength.
Types of screed
- Traditional screed
- A mixture of sand, cement and water, mixed and applied on site.
- Liquid screed
- A plant-mixed flowing screed, usually calcium sulphate based, pumped onto the floor and self levelling.
Applications
- Residential
- Used in homes for levelling floors before installing flooring such as tiles, wood or carpets.
- Commercial
- Used in warehouses, retail spaces and other commercial buildings for durability and a level surface.
- Industrial
- Used in industrial settings for heavy-duty applications requiring a robust and even surface.
Why it matters
Benefits of a properly laid screed
- Level surface Provides a smooth and even base for flooring installation.
- Durability Screed can be made to withstand heavy traffic and wear and tear.
- Versatility Can be tailored in terms of thickness and composition to suit specific needs.
- Cost-effective A cost-effective and labour-efficient option for constructing floors.
- Underfloor heating Liquid screed flows fully around underfloor heating pipes; sand and cement is compacted around them by hand.
