Screeds

Enhancing Strength, Workability & Efficiency

Fast drying and early strength development for high quality screeds.

Screed is a critical layer of concrete or mortar, designed to create a smooth, level surface for flooring foundations, decorative finishes, and industrial applications. Used in commercial, residential, and precast flooring systems, screed plays a vital role in ensuring structural stability, consistency, and long-term performance.

Why Use Admixtures in Screed?

To optimise screed applications, admixtures such as superplasticisers and accelerators are essential. Superplasticisers enhance workability and flow, allowing screed to be placed more easily while reducing water content for improved strength and durability. Accelerators boost early strength development, shorten drying times, and enable faster project turnaround.
