Hello
After completing the screed, we are considering installing a so-called skim coat floor with a concrete look. Unfortunately, there are not many providers, and if there are, they tend to be extremely expensive. If anyone knows of alternatives, companies that offer a good price-performance ratio, or if it’s okay to do it “yourself” with guidance and instructions, I would be grateful for any advice. Rooms and a bathroom are to be done. Maybe someone here has taken on this task themselves. I understand that there are many things to consider.

Why are these kinds of floors so expensive? Is it because they can charge those prices (since people can't do it themselves), or is it due to the materials/labor involved? Our architect explained that it’s because it’s very difficult to get it done cleanly and “one” has to be skilled at it.
Most likely, they charge for that expertise.

Do you actually need a special screed for microcement?For our bathrooms, we are having a troweled floor (béton ciré) and require a special screed due to concerns about compressive strength.

So, we will have polished concrete floors (béton ciré) in the bathrooms and need a special screed due to the issue of compressive strength.What type of screed is required?
