Using floor screed is the best way to achieve a smooth, flat and durable surface for any floor, and ensuring that the right mix is chosen for your requirements in the design process is paramount. Here at Base Concrete, we have been providing both trade and DIY customers with high-quality screed Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding areas for many years, providing us with an extensive knowledge of what mixes will suit your own specific project.

Floor Screed itself is a mixture made from a combination of cement and sharp sand that when laid creates a faultlessly smooth surface, and a clean and clear blank canvas to begin work on top of. This makes it the perfect solution if you need to even out the surfaces in a room before investing in luxury new flooring London, or for the essential foundations to set when creating a whole new building/extension.

For many enthusiastic DIYers and homeowners, it can be difficult trying to discern the difference between floor screed and concrete. If you are not in the construction industry, it’s not surprising that you wouldn’t know the dissimilarity between these two materials. To ensure you have the right product for your project, the professional suppliers here at Base Concrete have compiled a brief guide to outline the differences of concrete and floor screed Luton.

The Mixture

Both concrete and screed are typically used in the construction industry, and it is this which makes it hard for homeowners to discern the disparities.

Concrete, unlike screed is mixed with a mixture of hard-core aggregates which is one of the key reasons why it is so strong and durable. Screed on the other hand, is smooth as it is devoid of any aggregates.  The difference in their composition, means that their appearance and various uses are very diverse. Screed is very smooth whilst concrete isn’t.

Typical Uses

Screed is commonly used as a finishing product. On hard floors you generally will layer the screed over the surface to create a flush and smooth surface that is ideal for internal use.

Concrete on the other hand is used throughout the construction process, but generally isn’t used as a finishing product due to its coarser structure.

Method of Application

Screed is often applied with a trowel and can be completed by your average homeowner without any prior skill or experience. Concrete on the other hand does require specialist equipment, that many homeowners would need to find an equipment hire Oxford company to complete.
