Choosing the Right Screed for the Job: A Quick Guide for Contractors
Choosing the Right Screed for the Job: A Quick Guide for Contractors
When you’re up against tight deadlines and multiple trades on site, choosing the right screed can make all the difference. It’s not just about what’s underneath—it’s about how the screed performs in real-world conditions. Speed, ease of use, and finish quality should be at the top of your list.
Every project is different. Are you working on a block of flats with dozens of units to turn around fast? Or a commercial job where a high-end finish is non-negotiable? Before grabbing what you always use, ask: is this screed going to help me get the job done quicker, smoother, and with fewer issues?
Take SX600-NA Smoothing Compound | Tremco UK —designed for big jobs where speed and flow matter. It levels out fast and gives a smooth finish with minimal effort, which means less time on the trowel and more jobs ticked off.
Efficiency
We know fitters prefer products they trust. That’s why the TremSmooth SX range is built to be reliable and adaptable. Whether you’re working with old floors, fresh concrete, or prepping for vinyl, it’s got you covered. It's not just about compatibility—it’s about getting a screed that works with you, not against you.
Upgraded SX300 & SX302 – Built for Busy Sites
The newly reformulated SX300 TREMSmooth HP (High Performance Latex Underlayment) | TREMCO UK and SX302 TREMSmooth MT | Tremco UK are game changers. Extended open time gives you a longer working window—no more rushing to pour the next mix before the last one stiffens. It’s easier to keep a wet edge, and that means fewer cold joints and a cleaner finish.
They flow better, feel smoother under the trowel, and reduce the need for rework. On a busy site, that means time saved and a better result.
Get the Right Screed, Do the Job Right
No two jobs are the same—but with the right screed, you can take on anything. Whether it’s speed, flow, or finish, the TremSmooth range gives you the tools to deliver.
