SCREEDING | SELF LEVELLING

---

 Screeding and self-leveling are both essential steps used in the construction industry to create a level surface for flooring or tiling. However, they differ in their application method and the type of surface they are best suited for.
 

Screeding is the process of applying a layer of cement or sand and cement mixture to a concrete or masonry substrate, which is then leveled using a straight edge or screed board. The screed is typically mixed on-site and poured onto the substrate, then spread out with a trowel or rake before being leveled with the screed board. This method is best suited for uneven or rough concrete surfaces that need to be smoothed out before installing flooring or tiles.
 

Self-leveling, on the other hand, uses a pre-mixed compound that is poured onto the substrate and spreads out by itself to create a level surface. The compound is typically made of cement, sand, and other additives that allow it to flow easily and self-level. This method is best suited for flat surfaces that have minor imperfections or irregularities.
