    Hi guys, what is the better screed of these two? Both are water based, fibre reinforced, you can apply 700 up to 10mm in one application as opposed to 40mm for renovations. There is however a big price difference between the two. Can you shed any light on why?
    Thanks

    For the price renovation but 700 is a really good levelling compound and will dry super quick.

    I guess i'd be more likely to cover an underfloor heating matt in one visit with 700? Or would it require two visits to get a real nice finish?

    Only time I’ve ever got enough coverage on 1 coat is in small bathrooms where you can keep pouring it in with no where for it to run away
