What’s the Difference Between Screed and Concrete?

When it comes to making good quality concrete, a coarser mixture is required versus that used in screeding London premises. Put simply, to achieve a decent durability to stand the test of time, concrete requires bigger aggregates which are also harder than floor screed used for many London builds.
For many building projects, concrete is considered the preferable option, used commonly and frequently across the UKs industrial heartlands and beyond. Additionally, it maintains its position as the popular man-made material in both the construction industry and all around the world.
Also deployed in many projects floor screed in London uses just under half the amount of aggregates used in cement, meaning that this kind of screeding in London builds creates a smoother mix. Though not as durable as concrete, the use of concrete screed at London construction sites does not need to be as that is not its primary purpose. This kind of floor screed, used across London, is commonly applied on top of concrete slabs, adding a finishing later to commercial and residential flooring.
When used, floor screed in London builds is utilised to top concrete slabs, allowing the floor covering, such as carpet, tiles or wood flooring to be applied.
As well as these deployments, floor screed is used in London construction to colour flooring, and when this screeding is used in London premises with  high traffic floors such as restaurants or other commercial settings, it is much more durable. Often used for internal work, floor screed in London properties can cover heating and insulation systems, making it an ideal alternative to concrete as well as allowing flooring on top.
