A screed mix is relatively strong, using one part cement to three parts sharp sand, and when done well it gives a smooth and level floor on which to lay your chosen floor finish. A screed is also the preferred medium when laying under floor heating pipes. We can also add fibres to any mix to reinforce the concrete.
