Hello everyone,
I’ve seen how beautiful cement screeding looks on external wall. Can cement be used in screeding internal walls also (Rooms,Living rooms etc).Is there a particular brand of cement recommended for screeding.

alstacs:

Sounds like you want a duplex of 4 bedrooms fully detached, then you want another 3 storey building on the same plot. What will the 3 storey building contain?

GoodFaith:

Three bedroom should range from 100k to 340k including labor
type of wire will make the differences

Yes. Yiu can use cement screeding anywhere. That is what I used on my present project for internal and external. Yiu can use any cement, it depends on who do your screeding. My unqualified opinion.

Please make sure the 2 dont come close to each other. It will be worst than not having lightening protection at all.

Imagine it this way, its like plugging your tv or the entire house to lightening.

Earthing and lightening protection are 2 different systems.

I go find your trouble small or should i say bust your bubble small.

If you get good plasterer who will sift the good plaster sand that you buy then you dont need to screed. Screeding na wayo extra work and money.

alstacs:


Alhaji, I have two questions,
1. this cement screeding is a process after normal plastering I presume? Or is it done during the normal plastering?

2.what does it look like? I sincerely am not comfortable with POP screeding outside, so this will be a good option for me.

gbadexy:

let me help hajji out here.
screeding is done after plastering the building. cement screeding is smoother and better in my opinion. I used to have pictures of cement screeding of different projects but i don't have them anymore. However, I will post pictures of a painted project that cement screeding was used.
just for the record, I don't get involved in any form of screeding, I'm just giving my personal opinion. I've seen countless of pop screeding on sites and I've seen cement screeding and I only speak from my observation.
On a professional level, cement screeding doesn't set fast and won't waste materials.
it's smoother because it has longer open time to work it and has free lime to make it flexible when working before it sets.
water doesn't affect it, and water in paints also combine with the cement to further hydrate it. The water won't evaporate from the wall but would rather be soaked in by the cement to further hydrate it and make it stronger. The paint would therefore be chemically linked with the wall. it's won't peal off easily unlike pop screeding.
There is no cement/sand plaster that can give the level of smoothness as screeding. no matter how many times the sands are sifted.
you only need to compare the aggregate of both. The aggregate in pop emulsion paint used as the aggregate is calcium carbonate powder. you are basically comparing plaster sand to calcium carbonate powder in smoothness.
I've seen very well plastered walls that doesn't require screeding for matte emulsion to be applied on it, however it would still need to be screeded for satin to be applied on it. satin is thin and light and the tiny pores on cement plaster would be obvious and won't give that perfect smooth finish.

modified to include cement screeding

gbadexy:
I lifted the pictures from a thread I opened for a project.
The interior and exterior was screeded with cement and pop emulsion paint.

Rubbiish:

Very detailed explanation sir!
In summary your submission is cement screeding is better than POP screeding?

gbadexy:

absolutely sir.
White glue or other forms of binder like the topbond should be included.
2 kg per drum of paint is ok. Ideally if it were to be regular paint, even the low budget type, there won't be need for adding extra binder. but the screeding emulsion paint generally have very low binder.
