Our Sand and Cement Screed Services
Our comprehensive service includes a variety of finishes and application methods designed to meet your specific needs:
Traditional Laid Screeds: We provide sand and cement screeds applied to either falls or level finishes. This versatility ensures a tailored solution, whether you require a subtly inclined surface for effective drainage or a perfectly level floor for precision installations.
Drying Options: Choose between standard drying finishes or quick-drying variants, depending on your project timeline and operational requirements. Our quick-drying options are particularly beneficial for busy commercial spaces where downtime needs to be minimised.
Material Composition: Our screeds are formulated from a carefully measured mix, typically a 1:3 or 1:4.5 ratio of cement to sharp sand. This proven composition delivers the robust, dark, and textured finish that characterises traditional sand and cement screeds.
Durability and Aesthetic Appeal
Characteristics of Sand and Cement Screeds
Rugged Texture: The inherent roughness and darker tone of sand and cement screeds provide a distinctive look that is both utilitarian and appealing. This finish is ideal for areas that benefit from a traditional aesthetic.
Proven Durability: Built to withstand the rigours of daily use, these screeds are a reliable choice for environments with high footfall or heavy machinery traffic. They offer robust performance over extended periods, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
Versatility: Whether enhancing the rustic charm of a heritage building near the Suffolk coast or complementing the modern design of a business hub in Essex, our sand and cement screeds seamlessly blend functionality with visual appeal.
