As every aspect of our homes is subject to wear and tear, a homeowner might feel the need to renovate or redecorate his home. One point of renovation can be a house’s flooring scheme. Whether you have a tiled, wooden or carpeted floor, having a levelled and sturdy base is essential for a floor that is beyond compare.

With this in mind, we’re going to discuss what floor screeding is and other questions you might have before subjecting your home to this significant renovation.

What is Screeding?
