Why Choose Cement Fibres in Screed?
Cement fibres for floor screeding are a specially formulated solution, ideal for reinforcing floor screeds in lightweight or thin applications. Made from materials like cellulose and polypropylene, these fibres improve the flexibility and tensile strength of screeds, making them an excellent choice for projects that demand crack resistance without the added weight of steel reinforcement.
When cement fibres are incorporated into the screed, they spread uniformly, forming a reinforced layer that is both flexible and supportive. This creates a durable floor framework suitable for decorative coatings and additional structures, such as underfloor heating.
Benefits of Cement Fibres in Screeds
Cement fibres offer numerous benefits, particularly for projects with specific design requirements, making them a significant factor in enhancing the overall performance of the screeding project. Here are some of the benefits that cement fibres may add to your project:
- Enhanced Flexibility: Cement fibres offer resilience in the screed layer, allowing for minor subfloor movement without cracking due to their ability to accommodate minor shifts.
- Smooth Finish: With cement fibres, the screed achieves a smooth, even surface ready for any type of decorative finish, from carpet to vinyl to tile.
- Improved Crack Resistance: Fibers play a crucial role in preventing shrinkage cracks, which are essential for maintaining aesthetic and structural integrity.
- Cost-Effective for Residential and Light Commercial Applications: Cement fibres offer an economical alternative to steel reinforcement for thinner screeds and lightweight floors.

Cement Fibres vs. Concrete Fibres: What is the Difference?
While both cement and concrete fibres serve to strengthen screeds, they have distinct applications:
- Cement Fibres: Made from cellulose or polypropylene, these fibres are lightweight and flexible, making them suitable for thinner screeds in residential or light commercial flooring.
- Concrete Fibres: Typically made from materials like steel or glass, cement fibres are ideal for heavy-duty screeds in industrial and high-load applications.
The decision between the two is based on your project's load requirements and environmental concerns. If you are unsure which kind is appropriate for your project, our team of experts can help you choose the most suitable solution for your project.
