When you are constructing a new home, one of the most important things is to see to it that the floor is as level and flat as possible. This is particularly important with modern precast concrete beam and block floors, which have a distinct camber that can cause problems when it comes to laying floor finishes.

More and more new homes today are being built with underfloor heating because of the many advantages that it has over and above a radiator system. For a long time, it was considered that underfloor heating was an expensive item and only suitable for high-end homes, but in fact when you install it in conjunction with a liquid screed it can be economically viable for all types of homes, not just those at the top end of the market.

There is no rule that says that when constructing a building you have to install a floor screed in Beaconsfield, or anywhere else for that matter. However, if you want your final flooring to be as flat and level as possible, which most people do, then you will need to lay a floor screed. This provides as flat and level a surface as possible on which to fix the final flooring, whatever it may be.

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 “yes”.

When you are in the process of constructing any building, one of the things that you need to take into consideration is the floors. That may seem obvious, but it is necessary that they should be as flat and level as possible. In order to achieve that, it is necessary to add a layer of screed on top of the substrate, which is usually of concrete, and not the best surface upon which to lay the final floor surface.

If you are going to build a new home in Wokingham, you need to consider the benefits of underfloor heating compared with a radiator system.

There are several advantages of underfloor heating, not the least of which is that you don’t have to have radiators all over the place. Underfloor heating is out of sight, so it frees up space in every room.

When undertaking floor preparation in Marlow it is necessary to lay a screed over the substrate in order to ensure that the final floor surface is as flat and level as possible. While it is not a legal requirement to lay a screed, it is essential for the best possible finish of the flooring and is very necessary when installing underfloor heating in a new build because the heating pipes need to be covered.

For many years now it has been usual to add a screed to the substrate when constructing a building so that the final flooring has a flat and level surface on which to be laid. This is especially important in the case of a floor such as tile or stone because if the surface is not flat it is very likely that the tiles or stone will crack when walked upon, and restoring such a surface would be very expensive.

There has been a considerable increase in the use ofpumpable calcium sulphate screeds over the last few years because of the many benefits which they provide over and above traditional sand and cement screeds. They consist of anhydrous (dry) calcium sulphate and aggregates rather than a cement-based binder.

When you are in the process of constructing a new building, one of the most important factors is the flatness of the floor. It needs to be as level as possible, and for this reason you don’t want to fit it directly to a concrete substrate which is itself not level. For this reason, it is necessary to cover the substrate with a screed, either the traditional sand and cement variety or the modern liquid screed which uses anhydrous calcium sulphate in place of the cement as a binder.
