What is liquid screed?
Often, liquid screed is confused for concrete, but the two are not the same thing.
Liquid screed is different to ordinary concrete, but it operates in a very similar way. It is poured on top of a concrete layer, in order to provide the surface (most commonly flooring) with a neat, level and smooth surface, upon which wooden or carpeted flooring can easily be fitted. Or, in some more modern properties, the dried liquid screed layer can be buffed and polished, and left as a concrete flooring.
What are the benefits of using liquid screed?
Liquid screed is a fantastic product, which is a lifesaver for builders.
The benefits of liquid screed include, just to name a few:
- It is easy to lay
