Screed underfloor heating system

Clockwork Underfloor Heating is a supplier and installer of screed underfloor heating systems.

Screed underfloor heating systems

Screed underfloor heating systems are widely preferred by specifiers including architects, property developers and contractors because a screed floor enhances the performance and energy efficiency of an underfloor heating system.

What is a screed underfloor heating system?

A screed underfloor heating system is installed under a screed floor. At Clockwork Underfloor Heating our work, in collaboration with our sister company Clockwork Screed, involves laying liquid insulation, installing an underfloor heating system and pouring liquid screed on top to create a smooth, level surface on which a final floor finish such as tiles or laminate can be laid.

Benefits of screed underfloor heating systems

Specifiers have become increasingly aware of the benefits of screed underfloor heating systems. Liquid screed enhances the performance of underfloor heating systems in the following ways:

  • Thin application – liquid screed is incredibly strong, so can be laid as thinly as 25mm. This facilitates an even distribution of heat throughout a room
  • Optimised heat output – screed underfloor heating systems provide the best possible output and distribution of heat
  • Cost-effective – screed underfloor heating systems are more cost-effective than other types of underfloor heating systems because of the thin application and speed of installation
  • Thermal conductivity – our liquid screed offers exceptional thermal conductivity
  • Coverage of pipework – liquid screed self-compacts so it doesn’t create voids around the pipes from which heat could escape
  • Compatibility with renewable energy – screed underfloor heating systems are compatible with energy efficient renewable technologies such as heat pumps.

Screed underfloor heating systems for residential and commercial projects

Screed underfloor heating systems are ideal for both residential and commercial new build and renovation projects.

The thin screed layer allows more room for poured insulation under the underfloor heating system. Adequate insulation underneath the underfloor heating system is critical to preventing heat loss.

For both residential and commercial properties, screed underfloor heating systems use less energy to produce the same amount of heat as traditional heating systems which saves money and minimises carbon footprint. Hidden away, they also reduce air movement to create healthier environments which is particularly important in large, highly populated commercial spaces.

How screed underfloor heating systems are installed

To install screed underfloor heating systems, at Clockwork UFH we follow a four step process:

  • Planning and design
  • Lay high quality, poured insulation to contain the heat
  • Install the underfloor heating system, either consisting of pipework or electric mats, and connect the system to the heat source or electricity
  • Pour liquid screed to produce a smooth, even floor ready for a final floor finish such as tiles or laminate.

Because liquid screed dries so quickly, usually accommodating light footfall within 24 to 48 hours, a screed underfloor heating system minimises delays for the rest of the project.
