Screed mix ratio simply refers to the ratio of aggregate to cement needed to form screed. For finer screed, sharp sand is used, while more high-strength industrial mixes use a more coarse aggregate in the mixture. Screed mix ratio can range between 1:3 - 1:5 cement to sand depending on the desired consistency and other factors.
