Concrete screeding Melbourne

Concrete screeding is important for a number of reasons:

• To improve appearance: Existing concrete slabs may have damage, stains, roughness or poor colouring. Applying a screed layer will cover all of these inconsistencies.
• To provide an even base: Other flooring and finishes — like linoleum, vinyl, parquet, or tiling — require an even base to look and feel their best underfoot.

There are five main types of screed finishes available to you, each with their own benefits and application:

• Cement-based screed: Sand and cement are combined at a ratio of 3 to 1.
• Mastic asphalt screed: A bitumen, sand, and stone dust mixture is heated to a high temperature and poured.
• Synthetic resin screed: Creates a water-resistant seal across concrete flooring.
• Calcium sulphate screed: This gypsum-based conglomerate is preferred to cement screed across large areas.
• Magnesite screed: This is mainly found in older buildings (pre-WWII), and uses wood as chips.

Costs vary based on a range of factors, including:

• Type of screeding
• Surface area
• Job site challenges
