When you are installing a flooring screed to cover the concrete substrate in a new building it is vital to get all the preparation right. A screed is not a legal requirement, but it is the perfect solution if you want a final floor that is flat and level.

When you are working on any sort of construction project, time is money, and the problem is that there can be so many things which can go wrong, causing delays on site. One of these concerns the drying times of screeds used to level out the floor surface, and in the case of underfloor heating being installed, cover up the heating system whether it is water-based or electric.

More and more homes these days are being fitted with underfloor heating because of the many benefits that it has over and above a radiator system. Underfloor heating is actually nothing new, because it goes back to, at the very least, Roman times. They used to dig a trench and cover it with stones, and then heat the air under the stones from a strategically placed fire.

When you are constructing a building, it stands to reason that you want the floors to be as level as they possibly can. You can, of course, install flooring of many different types such as wood, tile, stone, carpet, vinyl, lino over wood, laminate, concrete, and more.

If you are building a new home, actually applying the floor screed can be an exciting moment because it is the point at which parts of your building start to look like a finished room. OK, once you have the floor covering down you won’t see the screed, but there are advantages to using one type of floor screed over another.

When you are engaged in any sort of construction job, one of the (many) important things to consider is that you want the floors to be as flat and level as possible. This applies no matter what the building is or what it is going to be used for, and it also applies to outside areas such as playgrounds and car parks.
