Tag: Liquid Floor Screed in Gloucestershire

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.

More and more homes these days are being fitted with underfloor heating because of the many benefits that it has over and above a radiator system. Underfloor heating is actually nothing new, because it goes back to, at the very least, Roman times. They used to dig a trench and cover it with stones, and then heat the air under the stones from a strategically placed fire.

Liquid floor screeds are becoming ever more popular today as their many benefits over traditional sand and cement screeds have become more widely known and understood. This is especially the case when you are installing underfloor heating, which is becoming more common in new build properties today. This is because, although at one time it was thought that it was only suitable for high-end homes, underfloor heating has many benefits over and above a radiator system, and the installation costs can be reduced when it is used in conjunction with a liquid screed and force drying.
