UnderfloorHeating Is Not New, But Liquid Screeds Are, And Have Many Benefits
There is nothing new about underfloor heating. It can be traced back as far as 7,000 years ago when people cut trenches into the floors and covered them with stones which were heated by strategically place fires. However, we have come on with our heating systems since those days, and today your underfloor heating can be either an electric system using electric cables, or a water-based system with heated water being pumped throughasystemofpipesunderthefloor.
Compare this with a liquid screed in Gloucestershire. At UK Screeds we deliver our liquid screed to site ready mixed. Once there we will already have set up levelling gauges called tripods and set them to the right depth to ensure that the finished screed surface is level throughout the building. We then simply connect a pump and long hose to the delivery truck and pump the screed into position. We can do 100 square metres in around 45 minutes! That is a lot faster than anyone can lay a sand and cement screed by hand. In fact, we calculate that we can workupto20timesasfast.Theonlythingthatwe then need to do is to run over the screed with a dapplingbartoremoveanyairbubbles.
Dry Enough To Walk On In48 Hours OrLess Furthermore, our liquid screed will be dry enough to walk on in 24 – 48 hours depending upon the temperature. What all that means is that the labour cost of laying the screed is minimal and there is no real delay to other contractors who need to work on the site.However, there are several other benefits to usingaliquidscreed,oneofwhichisthatitcanbelaid more thinly than sand and cement, so you need lessof it. Certainly, it costs a little more than sand and cement does, but since you don’t need so much of it, that levels the playing field. Add to that the labour cost of laying, and liquid screed comes out a hands’ downwinner.
