If you are going to install underfloor heating in a new building in High Wycombe, or anywhere else, one of the questions that we often get asked at UK Screeds is if it is compatible with such and such a final floor surface, and the answer is almost always u201cyesu201d.<br>

What Type Of Floor SurfaceCanYouUse With Underfloor Heating?
Thisisoneof the benefitsof usingaliquid screed when carrying out floor preparation in High Wycombe. A sand and cement screed has to be laid by hand, and it is very difficult, if not impossible, to get it as flat and level as a liquid screed, because the latter is self-levelling. At UK Screeds,wedelivertheliquidscreedto site ready mixed, attach a pump and a hose to the lorry, and simply pump it into position. As it is liquid, it very quickly levels itself out. All we need to do isto go over it with adappling bar in ordertoremoveanyairbubbles.
TileAndStone Once the screed is fully dry, you can then attach the final flooring. Two of the best floor surfaces forusewithunderfloorheatingaretile and stone. This is because they heat up quickly and theyretaintheheat,lettingit intothe room slowly once the required temperature has been reached, so less energy is required to produce the samelevelof heatasaradiator.Aliquid screedalsohasnearlydoublethethermal conductivity of sand and cement screeds, so the tiles will heat faster using less power. Concrete flooringissimilar.
Youcanuseunderfloorheatingwithlaminate flooring, and here the thermal conductivity is better when the laminate is dense. Much the same can be said of wood flooring: the thinner and denser the wood is,the lessenergyisrequired to heat the room. Carpetcanalsobeusedincombination with underfloor heating,but here the aimisthat the total tog of carpet, underlay, or overlay, must not exceed 1.5 tog because otherwise it will interfere withtheheatoutput.
