Self levelling screed

Self levelling screed is a popular flooring solution in the UK, known for its ease of application, smooth finish, and ability to correct uneven subfloors. It is a cementitious or latex based compound that flows easily and settles into a level surface with minimal manual effort.

Self levelling screed is a highly effective flooring solution designed to create a smooth, even surface with minimal effort. This type of screed is ideal for both new construction and renovation projects, providing a perfect base for a variety of floor coverings.

What is Self Levelling Screed?

Self levelling screed is a specialised type of screed that flows easily and evenly to create a flat, level surface. It is made from a mixture of cement, fine aggregates, and polymer additives that enhance its flow properties. Unlike traditional screed, self-levelling screed does not require extensive manual levelling, making it a popular choice for fast and efficient floor preparation.

A self-levelling compound is a type of floor levelling material that is used to create a smooth and level surface on an existing floor. It is typically made from a blend of cement, fine aggregates, and other additives that help it flow smoothly and self-level when poured onto the floor surface.

Self-levelling compounds are designed to be poured over concrete or other types of sub floor that may have uneven or rough surfaces. They can be used to level out minor imperfections or to create a completely level surface for the installation of new flooring materials such as tile, carpet, or hardwood.
