Concrete Topping vs. Formulated Screeds


Listen Later

The term "screed" is often confused with concrete "topping". Many people are still asking these types of questions: - How thin can concrete topping be? - What is concrete topping mix used for? - How do I make concrete topping? - What is the best concrete topping for houses? Concrete topping is defined as a layer of high-strength concrete placed on an old, worn-out concrete surface to provide a dense, abrasion-resistant surface, to increase structural depth and strength of the base concrete. On the other hand, while most people recognize the use of concrete topping on many construction purposes, especially when repairing elevations, there are actually specific purposes for concrete toppings. Here at Buildrite, we want to popularize the term "screed", which is a concrete repair mortar and the prepacked counterpart of concrete toppings. A floor topping and screeds are different in terms of composition, thickness, and functionalities! In this episode, we're going to discuss these differences, how you can correct floor topping elevations before installing tiles, achieve high strength at 2mm to 20mm thickness, and some tips to prevent screeding problems.
