Anhydrite (calcium-sulphate) and Cemfloor (cement-based) are both flowing screeds. They pour the same way, look nearly identical, and have similar coverage rates.
The difference that matters is chemistry — and that changes which finishes and which rooms are safe.
Head-to-head
| Property | Anhydrite / Cemfloor |

| Wet-room safe | No / Yes |
| Needs laitance sanding before tile | Yes / No |
| Cover over UFH pipe | 35mm / 30mm |
| Compatible with epoxy resin | No / Yes |
| Cost per m² | Slightly cheaper / Slightly more |

If tile, wet-rooms, kitchens, basements or resin are anywhere in the pour zone — Cemfloor. Otherwise anhydrite is fine.
