Concrete Screed
Self levelling screed in Malta is becoming an increasingly popular choice for both residential and commercial projects. Known for its smooth finish and precision, it is the ideal solution when a perfectly level surface is required before applying final floor finishes.
At Shaw Contractors, we provide expert self levelling screed solutions across Malta, ensuring high-quality results for a wide range of applications.
What Is Self Levelling Screed?
Self levelling screed is a specialised liquid or semi-liquid compound that spreads evenly across a surface to create a smooth and level finish. Unlike traditional screed, it requires minimal manual levelling, making it ideal for achieving high precision.
It is commonly used before installing:
- Tiles
- Parquet flooring
- Vinyl
- Resin floors
When Should You Use Self Levelling Screed in Malta?
Self levelling screed is the best choice in several situations:
1. Uneven Subfloors
If the base surface is uneven or damaged, self levelling screed provides a smooth and consistent finish.
2. High-End Finishes
For projects where precision is critical—such as luxury residential or commercial spaces—this type of screed ensures a flawless result.
3. Thin Layer Applications
Self levelling screed can be applied in thinner layers compared to traditional screed, making it ideal for renovation projects.
4. Fast Project Timelines
Many self levelling screeds dry faster than traditional options, allowing flooring to be installed sooner.
Benefits of Self Levelling Screed
Using self levelling screed in Malta offers several advantages:
- Smooth, high-quality finish
- Faster application and drying times
- Reduced labour requirements
- Ideal for modern floor finishes
- Improved overall durability

Is Self Levelling Screed Right for Your Project?
While self levelling screed offers many benefits, it is not always the best choice. Factors such as load requirements, budget, and project type must be considered.
