Screed creates a smooth, level surface over concrete, providing a strong foundation for tiles, wood, or carpet in homes, offices, and commercial spaces.
Screed is a thin, cement-based layer applied over a concrete base to create a smooth, solid foundation for flooring. It improves floor quality by levelling out imperfections and providing a firm, even surface for various flooring materials.
It works perfectly for making floors clean and flat in homes, offices, and commercial spaces. With Screed, you get a sturdy foundation for any type of flooring.
Screed ensures better adhesion for flooring and prevents uneven surfaces. It helps improve floor insulation, reducing heat loss and making spaces more energy efficient. In high-traffic areas, screed adds durability, protecting floors from damage over time.
Use screed for:
Screed improves sound insulation, reducing noise between floors in homes and buildings. It also improves moisture resistance, preventing dampness from affecting flooring. Using high quality screed ensures long lasting durability, reducing the need for repairs and making floors more stable.

Screed serves as a thin, smooth coating made from concrete-based materials such as cement and sand mixed with water which covers concrete flooring surfaces. Screed works as a critical layer to create an evenly flat base for tile installations, carpeting systems and wood flooring materials that improve their durability.
Screed serves as a thin flat layer with a smooth texture which performs as a floor finish rather than providing structural support. Screeds offer flat finished surfaces, whereas concrete delivers structural foundation strength.
The main types include traditional sand and cement screeds, liquid screeds for easy application, fast-drying screeds for quick projects, and fibre-reinforced screeds for added strength. The selection of material depends on what the project requires for speed and strength along with the necessary durability and finish.
Standard screed needs 24-48 hours for setting time however it requires daily drying at 1mm thickness to become completely ready. Screed setting times become faster in thinner installations yet humidity levels or thicker applications can slow down drying durations. Successful curing minimises cracks and creates a solid surface finish.
Screed serves as a building material for residential, office and industrial structures. Screed gets applied to concrete floors before any other flooring materials such as tiles, carpets or wood. The material provides durable level surfaces in warehouses along with hospitals and sports facilities.
Screed proves itself as a suitable material for installation alongside underfloor heating systems. Screed acts as a thermal conductor that spreads heat evenly throughout the surface which results in improved heating performance and user comfort. Liquid and self-leveling screeds represent exceptional options because they provide complete pipe coverage to maintain proper heating performance.
Bonded screeds must be 40–75mm thick, while unbonded and floating screeds require a 50–100mm standard thickness. For heating pipes to function optimally the underfloor heating system requires a minimum thickness of 65mm.
Allow screed to fully cure before adding flooring. Keep it clean, avoid heavy loads before full drying, and seal it for extra protection. If left exposed, use a protective coating to prevent wear, moisture damage, and surface cracks.
