Tiling onto green screeds or concrete

Green screeds are usually 1:3 or 1:4 cement and sand at a usual thickness of 50mm. These screeds can be applied both bonded directly onto a concrete base or un-bonded (applied on to a polythene sheet damp proof membrane). Both screed and concrete are referred to as being green during the period from application through to the time it gains strength and reaches dimensional stability.
