Sand and cement screed is a more traditional method of floor screeding that is still to this day a very popular choice with industries (e.g. hospitals, schools, offices, etc). There are various advantages and disadvantages to using sand and cement screed over other methods such as liquid screeding. Both methods are designed and installed by our cerfited and fully trained screeders to the highest possible standards and the finish will result in a completely smooth, level floor surface.

Why liquid screed could be a better option than sand and cement? One of the key benefits is that liquid screed is more conductive resulting in a more even spread of heat across the flooring area when using underfloor heating. Another benefits are it requires no reinforcement, has minimal shrinkage, does not curl, requires fewer construction joints, doesn’t need to have a 75mm thickness to be sufficient, can be specified by strength and is more sustainable as it uses 35% recycled raw materials.
