Underfloor heating is the 21^st century way to heat your home, even though it has been in use for 7,000 years. Back in the day, they used to cut channels in the floor and cover them with stones. These were heated using strategically placed fires.

One of the most important things to factor into the construction of a new building is the flooring. Whatever type of flooring has been chosen, the surface upon which it is laid needs to be as flat and level as possible. This is critical in the case of things which are going to be fixed with an adhesive, such as tile or stone. If a tile is not laid on a completely level surface it can very easily crack as it gets walked on.

If you are considering using a liquid screed in Reading on a contract, you have probably read all about the many advantages that it has over and above the traditional type of sand and cement screed. However, you may also be asking yourself if liquid screeds have any disadvantages, and the answer is that, yes, they do. That is if you consider them disadvantages.

If you are working on a construction project and need to level out the substrate before laying the final flooring, you may be asking yourself about the benefits of flowing screed in Gloucestershire. After all, they are a relatively recent addition to the construction industry, but why do people claim that they are so much better than a simple sand and cement screed?

Underfloor heating is nothing new. Indeed, it goes back at least 7,000 years when people used to cut trenches into the floors and cover them with stones which were heated from fires placed at strategic points within the building. However, things have come on apace since then, and today we have underfloor heating which can be either electric or a water-based system.

If you are designing a new home in Milton Keynes, one of the things that you should consider is installing underfloor heating. This has so many benefits over and above a radiator system, not the least of which is that the heat in the room should be even across the whole room.

At UK Screeds, we are often asked why we install water-based underfloor heating in conjunction with our liquid screed in Gloucestershire, and the answer is actually very simple. Overall, the running costs of water-based underfloor heating are going to be considerably lower than using electricity.

When undertaking any sort of building project there are a few things that are required in all of them. The walls of a building need too be straight and solid, and the roof needs to keep out all types of weather, from a gentle drizzle to an Arctic-type storm such as Arwen which we recently experienced. And the floors need to be flat and level.

There seems to be little doubt that the climate of our world is changing. However, there are a lot of issues surrounding this that seem to have been ignored, not the least of which is that the climate of our planet has been changing for millions of years. Only 400 years ago, the Thames was frozen over, and people were having barbecues on it! That must have been cold!

Installing a floor screed in Newbury correctly is not as easy as you might think. The whole point of a floor screed is that it provides as near a flat and level surface upon which to install the final flooring – whatever it might be – so that the floor will last for as long as the building does.
