In the category of self-leveling concrete there are two main groups of materials: underlayments and toppings. An underlayment is installed over an existing subfloor to smooth it out and correct any surface irregularities prior to the installation of all types of floor coverings, including sheet vinyl, vinyl composition tile (VCT), wood, ceramic tile and carpet.
A power screed being used to flatten concrete. A power concrete screed is a tool used to smooth and level freshly poured concrete surfaces. It can be used in place of a man-powered screed bar to strike off excess concrete. A power screed works by consolidating and/or vibrating the wet concrete mixture.
In civil engineering, concrete leveling is a procedure that attempts to correct an uneven concrete surface by altering the foundation that the surface sits upon. It is a cheaper alternative to having replacement concrete poured and is commonly performed at small businesses and private homes as well as at factories, warehouses, airports and on roads, highways and other infrastructure.
Self-consolidating concrete or self-compacting concrete (SCC) [1] is a concrete mix which has a low yield stress, high deformability, good segregation resistance (prevents separation of particles in the mix), and moderate viscosity (necessary to ensure uniform suspension of solid particles during transportation, placement (without external compaction), and thereafter until the concrete sets).

Screed (material) pumping truck. A development in the UK is the delivery, mixing, and pumping of screed from a single vehicle. Where previously screed jobs required a separate pump to administer the screed, these new machines can now administer the screed directly from the mixing pan to the floor at a range of up to 60 meters.
It is commonly laid as a screed. Screeds are a type of flooring laid on top of the structural element (like reinforced concrete) to provide a level surface on which the "wearing flooring" (the flooring which people see and walk on) is laid. [4] A screed can also be laid bare, as it provides a long-lasting surface. [4]
Adjusting screed settings will change the placement depth and width, as well as amount of material being placed. Many modern screeds can be run in an automatic mode, too. [1] Because the only connection between the asphalt paver and the screed is the tow arm, the screed can "float" vertically relative to the paver.
