Sand & Cement

Screeding is a construction process that involves applying a sand-cement mix to create a smooth, level surface for flooring installation. This thin layer of sand and cement is poured over a base floor to provide a strong foundation for the top flooring layer, ensuring a stable, even, and durable surface.

The typical screed mix consists of one part cement to three or five parts sharp sand. It serves as a crucial step in leveling out uneven floors and creating a flat, uniform surface for various flooring types, including tiles, hardwood, and carpet. Screeding can be used for residential, commercial, or industrial projects, making it a versatile and essential part of many construction processes.

Screeding is the process of applying a sand-cement mix (usually 1 part cement to 3-5 parts sand) to create a smooth, level surface on which to lay your chosen floor finish. The screed compensates for base floor variations, ensuring a strong foundation for the top floor. It is essential for creating a stable surface for both residential and commercial flooring projects.
