What is screed concrete used for?
Screed concrete is used to create a smooth, level surface over a structural concrete base. It is typically applied before final floor finishes such as tiles, laminate, or carpet and is essential for achieving a flat, durable floor.
What actually is screed concrete?
Screed is a thin layer of material, usually made from cement and fine aggregates, designed to sit on top of a concrete sub-base. Unlike structural concrete, screed is not load-bearing but is essential for achieving a precise, level finish.
There are several types of screed available, including:
- Traditional sand and cement screed
- Fast-drying screed
- Liquid (self-levelling) screed
- Fibre-reinforced screed
Each type is suited to different applications, depending on drying time, thickness, and finish requirements.

Questions we are often asked about Screed
Sand and cement screed is a traditional floor screed made from a mixture of sharp sand, cement, and water. It is used to create a smooth, level surface before installing floor finishes such as tiles, vinyl, carpet, or wood.
It is typically used for leveling floors, covering underfloor heating systems, forming a durable base for floor finishes, and providing a strong, stable substrate in both residential and commercial buildings.
A common mix ratio is 1 part cement to 4 or 5 parts sharp sand. The mix should be semi-dry, holding together when squeezed but not overly wet.
Traditional screed is usually laid between 50–75 mm. Thinner sections may require reinforcement or alternative screed types.
Traditional screed dries at approximately 1 mm per day under ideal conditions. Full drying may take several weeks depending on thickness, temperature, and ventilation.
Yes. Adding polypropylene fibres can improve screed strength, reduce cracking, and increase durability.
Yes. It is commonly used with underfloor heating systems, ensuring good heat transfer when properly installed and cured.
Yes, screed is essential for covering and protecting underfloor heating pipes while providing even heat distribution.
Yes, screed can be pumped, making it easier to apply in areas with limited access or large floor spaces.
Screed typically dries within 24–48 hours for light foot traffic, but full curing can take up to 28 days.
Most domestic screed applications require a thickness of between 50mm and 75mm, depending on the floor type and usage.
Concrete is a structural material used for load-bearing surfaces, while screed is a finishing layer applied on top to create a smooth, level surface.
