Cement Screed Contractor Singapore

Also known as surface preparation, cement screeding refers to the application of a thin layer of cement mixture, sand and fine particles on the surface of the floor to create a smooth surface.

This ensures that the surface is level and bump-free, while also making it easier to install vinyl, tiles, wood laminates and other materials on the floor.

Types of Screed

Bonded screed

This type of screed is fully bonded onto the concrete base with chemical adhesives. It is commonly used for thinner applications where heavy loading is expected.

Unbonded screed

An unbonded screed is not directly bonded to the concrete base. Instead, it is applied onto a Damp Proof Membrane (DPM) or sheet of polythene which rests on the base. This method of screeding helps to prevent shrinkage and settlement, and is a great choice for damp environments.

Floating screed

Floating screed is a special type of unbonded screed. It is laid over a layer of thermal insulation that rests atop a DPM that separates the concrete base. Underfloor heating screed is a popular type of floating screed.

Applications of Cement Screed

Cement screed is a versatile and long-lasting type of flooring that can be used in open spaces, buildings and various types of rooms.

Here are some common examples where cement screed application is conducted:

  • Public spaces
  • HDB apartments
  • Condominiums
  • Landed properties
  • Commercial establishments
  • Office spaces

Cement screed has also become an increasingly popular option for home renovation projects as more homeowners opt for the earthly and rustic textures of a cement screed finish on their floors and walls.

Cement Screeding Process

Removal of loose particles

Preparing the surface for cement screeding involves the cleaning and vacuuming of the area to remove debris, dust and loose cement.

Installation of level pegs

Once the surface has been cleaned thoroughly, level pegs will be installed one day prior to the actual cement screeding.

Level pegs help to ensure a flat floor by providing reference points when pouring the screed over the surface. This allows the contractor to accurately measure the thickness of the coating.

Applying the cement screed

During the application of cement screed, the coating is carefully added in order to minimise defects and prevent future hairline cracks and uneven bumps throughout the surface.

Allow the cement screed to dry

Allow the cement screed to settle and dry for at least 5 days before walking on it.
