If you are considering installing underfloor heating in a new project, or you are thinking about installing it in an existing building, there are certain things that you need to take into consideration.

Over the last 15 years or so, calcium sulphate, or anhydrite, screeds have grown considerably in popularity and today account for about one quarter of all screeds installed in new buildings.

When you are engaged in the construction industry, creating new buildings from scratch, you have to get everything right – and there are a lot of things to cover. One of these is getting the floor perfectly level, because if not it can lead to all sorts of issues – especially when the final floor is something such as tiling or stone. This is especially the case when the sub-floor is of the modern pre-cast beam and block floors which have a definite camber that can cause problems when you come to lay the final floor surface.

Liquid screed flooring is incredibly popular today and almost any contractor may claim to offer this as a service.

However, despite its relative ease and practicality as a material, you must still plan your projects carefully and take into consideration important best practices and industry standards when laying down liquid screed for your home renovation.

At UK Screed we help a great many families install underfloor heating systems in their home and we understand how it can be a worrying time due to the perceived complexity and cost of the project.

Making sure your floor is completely ready for a final application of tiles, wood or any other finishing requires you to sand, vacuum and prime your floor so it’s 100% ready for installation of your chosen floor finish.

To lay your desired floor material down so that your new floor is complete after you have installed your cement screed floor, you’ll have to do a few things so that you don’t encounter any problems in the future.

Understandably, planning a large renovation that includes a whole new floor installation can be worrying when you’re trying to keep costs to a minimum.

As you’ll likely need to remove all furniture from most parts of your home before you start your project, additional costs for removal and storage can also add up, as well as the price of temporarily staying in accommodation while your new floor is being finished.

Are you wondering how much it costs to use cement liquid screed in your next home renovation project?

There are a few obvious variants that can affect the total cost of using screed, such as the total area you need to cover or the type of floor screed mixture you plan to use, but there are also a few additional cost considerations you might not have thought of.

When you are constructing a building, one of the most important jobs is to ensure that the flooring is as flat and level as possible and the way to do that is to lay a screed on top of the concrete base before fitting the final floor surface.
