Floor screed is a layer of material that is applied onto a concrete floor or subfloor to create a smooth, level surface. Its purpose is to provide a flat and even base for laying the final flooring material such as tiles, carpets and hardwood.

The drying time of self levelling compounds can vary depending on several factors, including the type of compound used, the thickness of the layer applied and the environmental conditions on the job site.

Screed laitance refers to the thin layer of weak and powdery material that can form on the surface of floor screed during the drying and curing process and is particularly prevalent with anhydrite screed.

There are several advantages of using liquid screed over traditional sand and cement screed. Here are some of the key benefits:

Liquid flow screed and self levelling compounds are both types of flooring materials used to create a smooth and level surface for the installation of a final floor covering. However, there are some key differences between the two.
