Floor levelling compound and screed

Question

Is floor levelling compound and floor screed the same thing? We're trying to prep a floor for laying LVT.

Jason · Answer

In layman's terms yes , but if its water based screed , the floor will need priming first  before the screed is applied,  if the floor is not primed, the screed will just come up

Michael · Answer

It’s not, floor levelling compound is known as latex screed which is used for levelling and smoothing the floor . Floor screed is a sand a cement mix used to build concrete floors.

Hi, if you have concrete subfloor & it’s uneven you will require self levelling latex depending how uneven your floor is you can with most brands go up to 40mm depths to achieve your goal.

Martin · Answer

No floor levelling compound is applied as a liquid and will find its own level. Screed is a semi dry  sand based concrete finish that needs to be levelled and troweled flat.

Tom · Answer

Yes and no. Technically screed is what goes underneath the latex(the screed is the subfloor). But some people call floor levelling compounds screed

Armani · Answer

It pretty much is the same thing. Either one will work as long as you prime the surface floor so the screed bonds well to the floor

Lee · Answer

People use the same term for levelling compound, and latex screed. these are basically the same. However a floor screed is either a liquid floor screed, or a sharp sand and cement mix that covers your concrete sub base in the property
