Floor Screeding Works
Professional cement-sand screeding to correct uneven concrete, establish accurate finished levels and create controlled falls toward floor drains.
Controlled Levels and Drainage Slopes
A correctly designed screed creates a smooth, stable and accurately levelled base for tiles, resin flooring, vinyl, carpet or approved timber finishes. In wet areas, it can also form the precise falls required to direct water toward outlets.
Floor Screeding / Cement-Sand Screed Works in Dubai
Floor screeding is the application of a cement-sand mortar layer over a prepared concrete substrate to create a smooth, level and durable base for the final floor finish. Screed can also be formed to accurate falls so that water drains correctly toward floor outlets in bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, terraces and other wet areas.
