Screed is a construction material used to create a smooth, level surface on floors, walls, or other structures. It is typically made from a mixture of cement, sand, and water, and is applied in a thin layer to create a smooth, flat surface. Here’s some content about screed:
- Types of screed: There are several types of screed, including traditional screed, self-leveling screed, and liquid screed. Traditional screed is applied manually and requires more time to dry and cure, while self-leveling and liquid screeds are typically poured and can dry faster.
- Applications of screed: Screed is used in a variety of applications, including flooring, walls, and underfloor heating systems. It can also be used as a base layer for tiles, carpets, or other floor coverings.
- Benefits of screed: Screed provides a smooth and level surface, which is important for ensuring the proper installation of floor coverings or other structures.
