Key takeaways

• Levelling screed runs S$2–S$3.50 psf; finished cement-screed floors S$15–S$30 psf.
• Level and cure quality decide everything — bad screed telegraphs through whatever goes on top.
• The sealed industrial-look floor costs more than people expect.
• Hairline cracks are part of the aesthetic; sealing controls staining.

Screed is the invisible layer your whole floor depends on — and the sealed industrial look is a style in its own right. Here's what both cost and the curing patience the job demands.

When you hear about concrete floors, you get the image of raw and rugged concrete or cement pathway that would seem unlikely to be a suitable option in any home! However, this is not the case. Concrete and cement floors are available in a variety of designs and grains which can add a unique element to any interior.

Cement and concrete flooring is often used interchangeably but they are different in that concrete flooring is a mixture of cement, aggregates, and water. The differing levels of cement and the aggregates that make up each type is what distinguishes them. In the following sections, we will go more in-depth on the difference between the two floorings, their advantages and disadvantages, and the price of each.

Cost Of Concrete Flooring

Concrete flooring is relatively more economical than other types of flooring. In its raw form, it can cost below $10, especially for a basic design. However, when considering other processes such as sealing, protective coating cost, and staining, it can go up to $15 to $30 per square foot!

There might be other costs included such as the grinding of the floor, painting, and polishing. Not to mention labor costs as well!

Cost Of Cement Screed Flooring

Cement screed ranges from S$14 to S$28 per square foot in Singapore. Due to the possibility of cracks occurring after the cement mix is dried, repair to the new flooring should be expected. Similar to the concrete flooring, other aspects may increase the price of installation.

How to choose well

1. The key requirement. Level and cure quality decide everything — bad screed telegraphs through whatever goes on top.
2. Reviews with specifics beat star counts. Look for reviews that mention your job type and how problems were handled — not just "good service".
3. Itemised quotes only. A lump-sum quote is where surprises hide. Line items let you compare fairly across companies.
4. Never pay fully upfront. Deposit, progressive payments, and a retention until the work is done and checked.
