Do you need liquid screed underfloor heating for your build project?
Liquid screed underfloor heating
Liquid screed underfloor heating provides many benefits to contractors and property developers during a build, and to users post installation.
Clockwork Underfloor Heating installs various types of underfloor heating systems. Here, we take a closer look at liquid screed underfloor heating and why it is becoming increasingly popular with specifiers.
What is liquid screed underfloor heating?
Liquid screed underfloor heating is a UFH system installed under a liquid screed floor made of a self-levelling gypsum or cement-based mix.
Clockwork Underfloor Heating uses a high quality cementitious liquid screed, mixed and supplied by our sister company Clockwork Screed.
Benefits of liquid screed underfloor heating systems
Here are some of the benefits of liquid screed underfloor heating systems:
- Cementitious liquid screed delivers exceptional heat conductivity. This means the underfloor heating system is able to warm a room quickly, using less energy than traditional heat sources
- Our liquid screed self-compacts once poured, which prevents voids from appearing around the pipework. Such gaps would allow heat to escape, so the way in which the screed smothers the entire length of every pipe is critical for the performance of the underfloor heating system
- Liquid screed can be laid very thinly; as little as 25mm in depth. This not only reduces the cost of materials, but also allows the heat to be distributed efficiently and evenly
- A thin layer of screed provides room for uprating the underfloor insulation for even greater energy efficiency
- For installers and other contractors, a significant benefit of liquid screed underfloor heating systems is the speed at which the screed dries. Light foot traffic can be accepted within 24 to 48 hours post installation which minimises project delays.
Liquid screed underfloor heating for residential and commercial projects
Liquid screed underfloor heating is suitable for both residential and commercial projects.
In both homes and commercial spaces, liquid screed underfloor heating provides consistent warmth to create comfortable living and work spaces.
For contractors and property developers, the durability of liquid screed underfloor heating systems and the speed of installation are particularly ideal for vast commercial projects such as offices, retail sites and warehouses. For users, liquid screed underfloor heating makes commercial spaces with high foot traffic more comfortable to work and move around in.
Being hidden away under the floor, liquid screed underfloor heating also provides healthier environments for residential and commercial users through the absence of air movement typically generated by traditional heating systems.
How liquid screed underfloor heating systems are installed
Here is the four step process by which liquid screed underfloor heating systems are installed by Clockwork UFH:
- Planning and design – we conduct a comprehensive survey to understand the specific heating and flooring needs of your project. From this information we plan and design a bespoke liquid screed underfloor heating system
- Install insulation – we lay poured insulation under the floor before the system is installed to maximise its efficiency
- Install the underfloor heating system – our highly skilled teams install the UFH system using the best quality components
- Pour liquid screed – the liquid screed is poured onto the underfloor heating system to create a smooth, level floor ready for a final floor finish such as vinyl, laminate or tiles.
