Tag: Flooring Screeding Contractors

The purpose of a floor screed is to produce as near a level surface as possible upon which the finishing floor is to be laid, whether that is carpet, wood, tile, or more. A concrete substrate can have lots of dips and “waviness” and if you try to lay the finishing floor on top of it there will be problems, especially if it is tile. A screed is a thin layer of material that is laid on the concrete in order to produce a level to as near Surface Regularity 1 as possible. SR1 means that there is no discrepancy of more than 3mm over a 2-metre length.
