screeding
Screeding is a construction process used to create a flat and level surface for flooring materials. It involves spreading a mixture of sand, cement, and water, known as screed, over a subfloor. This layer is then smoothed out using a tool called a screed board, ensuring an even surface for tiles, carpets, or other flooring options.
The screeding process is essential for achieving a durable and stable foundation. Proper screeding helps prevent issues like uneven floors, cracks, and water pooling. It is commonly used in both residential and commercial construction projects, making it a vital step in the flooring installation process.
