Which kind of screed would be the best to use? I have heard of Davco Lanko 189 bulk fill screed, they seems very high strength but not sure how many square metres a 20kg bag can cover. The thickness required is around 40-50mm. Tangle88 We recently ( just before lockdown in June) screeded around 100sqm similar to what you are doing. We used approximately 5 cubic meters of sand and 1 of cement. We went the traditional route of having our tiler with a team of 6 guys mix the screed on site. Took a full day and cost around $40/sqm or $4000 all up. That roughly works out as a day rate of $300 each plus materials Based on your area of 230sqm at 40-50 I think you would need around 1,150 bags of the Davco to get your 50mm coverage. Bunnings has it at $40/bag therefore materials alone would cost you $46,000. Then you have the labour to mix it and screed. As per chippy's post, give some tilers in your local area a call and get their advice as in your local climate zone they would have experience of people using underfloor heating and would know what works and what doesn't.
