a) Portland cement of strength class 42,5 N. If cements of other types and/or classes are used, then constituent material proportions might need to be adjusted in order to achieve screeds of similar strength characteristics to those recommended. Definitive guidance on their use in cement sand screeds is not available at the time of publication.
Where the thickness of the levelling screed is 50 mm or greater, consideration should be given to the use of fine concrete to minimize water demand and hence drying shrinkage. However, there is a risk of a lower standard of fine closed finish when using 4/10 aggregate in the screed.
