Yes, underfloor heating is widely considered to be a better option than heating systems that use radiators as it is generally safer and more energy efficient and thus cost-saving. Energy Efficient Underfloor heating is a more efficient method of heating than radiators. Radiators heat a room by emitting a high temperature from a small surface […]
Liquid screed can be laid in thinner layers than traditional screed options so you may assume that because of that liquid screeds are less strong than traditional screeds but that is not the case in fact. Varying Strengths Anhydrite-based liquid screeds have a compressive strength of C25 N/mm2, extra strong versions reach about C35 N/mm […]
There are many different types of liquid screeds available to suit many other use cases; some specialist types can be installed as thin as 12mm. Recommended Depth The general recommended depth of liquid screed over underfloor heating is 50mm. Having your screed layer be as thin as possible is important, it means the heating system […]
While it may be tempting to walk and build on liquid screed the moment it appears solid, it’s important to let it dry and cure sufficiently before you start putting pressure on it. Be aware that certain conditions will affect liquid screed drying time. Cold temperatures and higher humidity will slow down the drying […]
Plain floor screeds have a rough, concrete appearance, which many consider to look messy and unfinished. That said, exposed concrete floors have grown in popularity, especially for modern and industrial-style properties, as well as warehouses and commercial buildings. It’s highly recommended to use a floor finish to help minimise wear and tear, as most self-compacting […]
Underfloor heating can leak in some cases such as when it gets accidentally punctured by following trades; when the system is installed incorrectly or general wear and tear of the system can be enough to puncture the pipe. Installation Underfloor heating pipework should always be installed in continuous loops from the manifold, around the area, […]
