Flo Screed
What is Flo Screed
Flo Screed is a self-levelling cement based mix, designed to be used in the interior of buildings where a subsequent floor finish is required. The Flo Screed is delivered to site in a readymix truck where it is then transferred to a specialised pump. The screed is then pumped to all areas of the house where it is levelled off to give a high quality smooth finish. A curing agent is then applied to speed up the curing process
Advantages of using Flo Screed
Cost effective

The floor is accessible to foot traffic normally within 24 hours.
Ideal for Underfloor Heating
One of Flo Screed’s main advantages is; when it is used in conjunction with underfloor heating. Its high fluidity ensures complete contact with the heat source to ensure heat transfer is maximised.
Smooth finish achieved
