Frequently Asked Questions

There is a type of floor screed for essentially any property. Whether you want to screed your commercial, domestic or industrial property there is a screed that can be applied. This is because screeds can be adapted to suit the environment they will be in, i.e. screeds can be made to withstand more heavy duty loads if required.

Just like the curing time, the type of floor screed chosen will depend on the thickness it needs to be.

For industrial and commercial spaces with heavy duty applications, the floor screed will need to me considerably thicker than one in a domestic property.

However, it is best to ask your builder the thickness needed to be completely accurate.

Screed and concrete are both made up of the same materials, however, screeds use a finer aggregate, therefore, making the material overall smoother. This make concretes stronger as the extra aggregate adds more strength however as a screed is made to be put over concrete the strength is still maintained.
