One of the most important considerations when planning the construction of a building, or buildings, is the timing of the work on site. All of the various trades need to work on the site in the right order and at the right times, so one needs to follow another as quickly as possible in order to keep costs to a minimum and ensure that the project is not delayed. If you have labour hanging around idle, those people still need to be paid, and that means that somebody, somewhere along the line, is going to have to do the paying. Time is of the essence.

At UK Screeds, many people think of us purely as a supplier and installer of floor screeds, largely because of our name. But in fact, we are also suppliers and installers of underfloor heating systems, because they offer so many benefits.

Liquid floor screeds such as the liquid anhydrite screed that we install at UK Screeds do need the preparation work carried out to the very highest of standards, but it is not difficult, and in any case, we carry out all the preparation work for you.

When installing underfloor heating in a building, it is necessary to lay a screed on top of the heating pipes so that the final flooring can be laid on top of that. The screed does a number of jobs, and a liquid anhydrite screed is the preferred type of screed for a number of reasons. In times past, a traditional sand and cement screed would have been used, but today a liquid screed has several advantages.

If you are considering installing underfloor heating in your home in Northampton, there are a lot of advantages to it, one of which is the amount of energy you will save vis-à-vis a radiator system.

When constructing any sort of building, there are many things to take into consideration, but one of the important ones is the levelness, or otherwise, of the flooring. The final flooring, which is going to be walked upon, and in the case of something such as a warehouse may also have to carry things like forklift trucks, needs to be as flat as possible.

Tile is one of the most popular flooring materials throughout Europe. It is a classic design choice for many Victorian properties in the UK and is used increasingly in modern interior schemes today.

Some floor metals are simply better than others when it comes to working with underfloor heating systems. Certain properties can make a floor covering good or bad for radiant heating systems, such as its thickness and the way it allows heat to pass through it and transfer up from below into your home.

There’s nothing wrong with carpet necessarily, but it seems like there’s more practicality than style to this flooring choice. Enjoying a soft, well maintained and thick carpet is undoubtedly a great joy in colder months, however, we’ve all lived in or visited places where carpet has been less than satisfactory, often worn down and stained.

If you’ve done the hard part and installed a conservatory you probably can’t wait to use it as warmer weather approaches. However, the final piece of the puzzle, if you haven’t decided already, is the type of flooring you choose to have laid down within the extended space.
