More and more new homes today are being built with underfloor heating because of the many advantages that it has over and above a radiator system.

A liquid screed uses calcium sulphate in place of the cement as a binder, and the material itself is more expensive, although not a lot. However, a liquid screed can be laid a lot thinner than sand and cement, so there isnot so much material required. Furthermore, the speed of laying saves aconsiderable amount in labour time because sand and cement has to be laid by hand by a worker usingatrowel. It isestimated that the liquid screeds that we install at UK Screeds can belaidabout20timesasfastassandand cement.
There are more advantages to using a liquid screed. Not only is it quicker to lay, but it also dries faster. Our screeds are dry enough to walk on within 24 – 48 hours, so there is no delay for other contractors whoneedtoworkonthesite. Inadditiontothat,theliquidscreedisself-levelling – hencewhyanother name for it isself-levelling screed. In the same waythat you pour water (or your favourite tipple) into a glass, the surface of the liquid will very quickly become flat, and our liquid screedworksinthesame way.
