Sand for screed

**garfield** · 21st July 2023, 03:43 PM

Hi all,

Anyone know a sand I should/could use to mix with cement to make screed for my bathroom floor? If so Bunnings store that sells it would be good as there is one fairly close by.

Thanks

Washed sand: Just a moment...

You want a washed sand the same as you would use for rendering and definitely do not use a fatty bricklaying type sand.
In Sydney it was commonly referred to as “Sydney sand “

Thanks Beardy.

Is the Sydney sand at Bunnings washed do you know Beardy, or if that will be ok to use?

Thanks
