What is Concrete Floor Screed?

Concrete screed is a mix of cement and sharp sand. Once a structural flooring base has been established, a thin screed layer is applied on top. This layer levels and smooths the surface, creating a flawless finish. Final flooring materials such as wood or carpets can then be installed with precision.

Screed can be applied to a precast slab once the concrete has set or directly onto an in-situ concrete base.

What is the Difference Between Screed and Concrete?

Screed and concrete are both made from cement, water, and aggregates, which can make them easy to confuse. However, the key differences lie in their texture and intended use.

Concrete is a coarser mixture that uses larger, stronger aggregates, making it ideal for creating solid, durable floor bases. On the other hand, screed is a finer mixture with smaller aggregates, designed for applying thin layers to create a smooth, sleek finish.

Due to its finer ingredients, screed is typically used in thinner layers and is more expensive than concrete. It is not generally used in large quantities, unlike concrete, which is used in more substantial applications.

Types of Screed

While screed is known for its distinctive properties, it comes in a variety of types to suit different needs. Some of the most commonly used types of screed include:

Different types of screed are used for various purposes and applied with different techniques to achieve specific thicknesses.

For example, when applying bonded screed over a concrete base, the thickness typically measures around 25mm. In contrast, floating screed, often used for insulation, is applied at a thickness of approximately 65mm.

The type of screed and its thickness also depend on the specific characteristics of the site. Areas that experience heavy traffic or use heavy machinery, such as factories, will require thicker screed for durability and strength.
