    Default Sand for screed

    Hi all,


    Anyone know a sand I should/could use to mix with cement to make screed for my bathroom floor? If so Bunnings store that sells it would be good as there is one fairly close by.

    Thanks

    You want a washed sand the same as you would use for rendering and definitely do not use a fatty bricklaying type sand.
    In Sydney it was commonly referred to as “Sydney sand “
