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
