More and more today, modern homes are being constructed with underfloor heating built-in. Underfloor heating used to be thought of as only for higher-end properties, but the fact is that in this age of environmental awareness, underfloor heating has a lot going for it.

When constructing any new building, there are many vital aspects that need to be considered and handled correctly if the building is to be a success. One of these is the flooring because that is what takes all the foot traffic – and in some buildings such as a warehouse, for example, motorised traffic, such as forklift trucks, as well.

Liquid anhydrite screeds such as the ones we install at UK Screeds have many benefits compared with traditional sand and cement screeds, especially when used in conjunction with underfloor heating. Not the least of these is that when we apply the screed it is in liquid form and is as near as possible a self-levelling compound in Bristol – or wherever the contract is being carried out.

At UK Screeds we not only provide the finest liquid floor screeds that you can get, but we also install underfloor heating. We can undertake underfloor heating installation in Gloucestershire in both new build and refurbishment contracts.

Constructing a new building from scratch requires the services of a number of different contractors in order to carry out different parts of the work. At the very top of the hierarchy is the developer who will hire an architect to design the building. Then comes the main contractor and under him come all the subcontractors to carry out electrical installation, plumbing and heating, flooring, window installation, painting and decorating, carpeting, and more.

Installing tile flooring in the kitchen, bathroom, or even throughout your entire ground floor can seem like a great idea, but it’s also hard work. Some DIY tilers also make the mistake of thinking tiles can go straight down onto any old floor, without effective preparation.

Tiling is a respected skill that takes lots of practice to master. While some opt to tile their own floors, there are a few pitfalls and mistakes that you can make when not employing a professional tiler to ensure the job is completed to a high standard.

Liquid screed floors, such as anhydrite screeds, have become very common as people recognise their various benefits. It is a relatively easy to lay, low cost, fast-drying, self-levelling floor option that works especially well with tile floors.

Ceramic tiles are still one of the most popular choices for UK homes, but are they right for your bathroom, kitchen?

Available in a vast range of styles and colours, they’re a great choice for an entire ground floor too, however, there are certainly a few pros and cons to first take into consideration before going with this flooring option.

When many people think of the process of laying a liquid floor screed they envision the mixer truck turning up at the site, two or three men connecting a hose and pump to it, they run the hose to where it needs to be, turn on the pump until the screed covers the floor, pack everything up, and go home for lunch.
