Tag: Floor Compound London

Floor compound is also known as self-levelling compound and is a type of liquid screed. It can get confusing because there are several different terminologies used to describe much the same thing.

A floor screed is used to produce a surface on top of the concrete substrate that is as level as it can possibly be, so that the final floor surface – be it tile, vinyl, carpet, wood, or whatever – can be laid completely flat and without, in the case of something like tile, the chance of it cracking. If you lay tile on an uneven surface and then people walk on it, it is highly likely that the tiles will crack, and that is the last thing that you need. This is why a screed, or floor compound, is used.
