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 build on liquid screed right away but it’s important to have it dry completely before you start to walk and build on it… Drying Time 24-48 hours is the recommended amount of time needed before the liquid screed is ok to walk on. However, if you want to build […]
Plain screed floors often look messy and unfinished so it’s probably a good idea to get it cleaned up. One of the ways you can do this is by polishing your liquid screed floor. How To Polish Liquid Screed Floors Liquid screeds can be polished by applying a hardener and mechanically polishing the surface. Liquid […]
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, […]
