    Is there a visual difference between the different types of screed

    My new laid screed floor has been down for 4 months and from reading up I probably need to seal it prior to tiling. Unfortunately I cannot get hold of the builder to find out whether it was a cement screed or flow/anhydrite type screed. Is there a visual way to tell (ie color/finish) that would...

    Barn conversion, wet UFH and S&C screed.

    Existing floating floor and new ufh screed dilemma

    A new ufh screed is going to be laid in an extension. The existing flooring is a floating floor with plenty of 'bounce'. Customer would like both floors tiled. Old floor is approx 70m2 and the new screed is approx 30m2. Is it possible to do this as I don't think cost is an issue? Lewie
