What is Screed?
A levelled layer of material (e.g. cement) applied to a floor or other surface.
Difference between screed and concrete?
Concrete and screed are essentially formed of the same basic ingredients – cement, aggregates and water. But what makes them different is- the size of aggregates, the cement grade, mix consistency, and of course their intended application or use.
Composition and Mix Proportion
Concrete in its simplest form is a rock like mass formed by the hardening of cement paste and aggregates mixed in a proportion of – 1 x Cement: 2 x Sand: 3 x Coarse aggregates (ballast/gravel). But several variations are applied to this basic mix design to suit various uses and strength requirements.
Screed on the other hand is a thin layer of cement paste and sand/ fine aggregates, laid on to a concrete floor base or underfloor heating to act as a smooth flat levelling surface for taking on the final floor finish. Screeds generally follow a mix proportion of 1 x Cement: 3-5 x Sand (0-4mm washed sharp sand for levelling screeds).
