Power Screeds
Screeds reduce air voids and settle aggregate so concrete is easier to stamp. As far as what to look for in a power screed, a decorative contractor will get the best results from a screed that is lightweight, portable, durable and produces excellent consolidation of the concrete, says Multiquip product manager Warren Faler. Given that many decorative contractors are working in confined areas, weight and portability are paramount, he says.
Multiquip's new one-man DuoScreed sports a unique blade profile that enables a single operator to strike off concrete floors without help. This model uses blades that are 50 percent lighter than those on its predecessor for greater maneuverability, faster finishes, and stronger slabs, all with less effort. Go to article ›››
TTI Screedright Pro
Some concrete contractors prefer screeding with a wooden board because wood better allows the water content in the concrete to bleed to the surface, cutting down on spalling or scaling. The latest addition to the Trade Tool Innovations product line, the TTI Screedright Pro, was developed with those contractors in mind. It uses a single two-by-four piece of wood as a screed blade instead of costly metal screed bars. Go to article ›››
