## What on Earth is Screed?
First things first, screed is not some alien life form. It’s simply a smooth layer of material (usually a mix of cement and sand) that’s applied to a floor to create a level surface. Think of it as the icing on your cake. Only, it’s your floor, not a cake.
## Why Should I Bother With Floor Levelling?
Good question! The answer is simple: A nicely levelled floor is the backbone of any good interior. It helps everything fit better, look better, and feel better. It’s like ironing your shirt before a job interview. Because let’s face it, no one wants to walk on a wonky floor.
## Step-by-Step Guide to Using Screed
1. **Clean the subfloor**: Make sure there is no dust, dirt or debris.
2. **Apply a layer of primer**: This helps the screed bond better with the floor.
3. **Mix your screed**: Follow the instructions to the letter.
4. **Apply the screed**: Spread it evenly using a trowel.
5. **Let it dry**: Patience, my friend.
## Top Tips for a Perfect Finish
* Always wear safety gear.
* Check the screed mix – not too wet, not too dry.
* Check the level often as you apply the screed.
* If you can, get a friend to help. It’s easier and way more fun!
