In a nutshell, a concrete screed is a straightedge tool that levels and smoothens the surface of freshly poured concrete.

The optimum thickness of a sand and cement bonded screed is 25–40mm, an unbonded screed should have a minimum thickness of 50mm, whilst a floating screed should have a thickness greater than 65mm for lightly loaded floors and 75mm for more heavily loaded floors.
