The type of reinforcement used should always be selected based on the type of screed, the depth, and the method of mixing. With that being said, there are some general benefits for every type of reinforced screed:
- Strength
Reinforced screed provides additional strength and stability to concrete floors, improving their resistance to damage from impact and heavy use.
- Customisable
Reinforced screed can be customised to meet the exact requirements of a space. Additional materials can be added to enhance chemical resistance, waterproofing, and insulation as well as aesthetic customisation like colouring and finishes.
- Versatility
One of the biggest selling points of reinforced screed is its versatility. It can be used in a variety of settings from industrial to residential spaces and is suitable for a range of applications such as factory flooring and warehouses.
- Cost-effective
While the initial installation of reinforced screed can be costly, the guaranteed longevity and durability provide a cost-effective investment in the long run as you will be able to avoid the need for repairs and replacements.
- Durability
The primary purpose of reinforced screed is to reinforce the surface’s ability to withstand the wear and tear of daily use and to improve the durability of the existing concrete floor beneath, making it a long-lasting and highly stable flooring option.
