Fluid consistency gives the accurate level and regularity to the surface.Screeding tools:Measure Tape:  This is the smallest tool needed but most important to determine the measurement and depth of the room to know how much mixer needed in the structure.100mm x 50mm timber battens – Needed to make the frameSpirit level – to attain the correct level to the surface.Shovel – To Load and mix and distribute.Wheelbarrow or buckets – To process the mix from one place to other place quickly.Straight edge (or a piece of excess timber) – To give Flat and smooth finish.Trowel – This tool will help you move the paste in places where there is a need for an even surface.Float – This tool is very useful to give the needed smooth finish to the surface.Protection – as people should no that cement burns like anything on the skin so hand gloves and knee protection with the boots are a must in the entire operation.Other tools: Heavy mixing machine, pump machine for liquid screed or another construction machine for big projects.The Right screed mixing :The screed mixing is important to process in the entire floor screeding operation, If the project is big in size we recommend using a professional contractor with the correct machinery and tools for a large operation.
