How much screed do you need ?
Our screed calculator will help you estimate the amount of screed you need for your project using the basic measurements of the floor area. Other factors that may affect the calculation include :-
- The unevenness of your floor
- The final usage of the floor
How to use the Floor Screed Calculator
- Measure your room length and width in metres.
- Enter your target floor screed thickness in millimetres.
- You will see the required volume in cubic metres (m³) automatically calculated.

FAQ — Floor Screed Calculator & Ordering
What thickness should I choose?
Thickness depends on the substrate, use case and whether you have underfloor heating. Ask us for advice, but as a guide, many projects specify 50–65 mm for bonded or unbonded sand/cement screeds, and 35–50 mm for certain liquid screeds (product dependent). We’ll confirm the correct build-up during a site visit or over the phone.
Does the Floor Screed Calculator work for underfloor heating?
Yes. Enter the total build-up thickness above the insulation or slab, including coverage over the heating pipes. We can advise on the optimal screed type for thermal performance and commissioning.
Can you help with drying and walk-on times?
Absolutely. Drying and walk-on times vary by screed type and conditions. We’ll recommend the right specification and timeline to suit your programme and floor finishes.

What are the benefits of floor screed ?
Floor screed, also known as simply screed, is a thin layer of concrete or similar material that is applied to a concrete subfloor or structural floor to create a level and smooth surface. Some of the benefits of using floor screed.
- Levelling: One of the primary benefits of floor screed is that it helps to create a level surface, even if the underlying concrete subfloor is uneven. This is important for ensuring that the finished flooring material (such as tile, carpet, or hardwood) is laid evenly and securely.
- Strength and durability: Floor screed can help to increase the strength and durability of a floor, making it better able to withstand heavy loads and foot traffic. It can also help to prevent cracks and other types of damage that can occur over time.
- Thermal insulation: Depending on the type of screed used, it can provide thermal insulation to help keep the floor warm, which can be particularly beneficial in colder climates.
- Sound insulation: Floor screed can also help to reduce the amount of sound that passes through the floor, making it a good option for buildings where noise reduction is important.
- Moisture control: Some types of floor screed are designed to help control moisture levels in the floor, which can be particularly important in areas where there is a risk of water damage or mould growth.
Overall, floor screed is a versatile material that can provide a number of benefits for both residential and commercial applications.
How do you calculate the volume of screed ?
Q:How do you calculate the volume of screed ?
Answer: Our screed calculator will help you estimate the amount of screed you need for your project using the basic measurements of the floor area. By multiplying the width, length and depth, we will calculate the cubic volume (㎡) required.
Where is screed used ?
Floor screed can be used in many different situations – commercial environments, underfloor heating installation, new builds, self builds and home extensions.
