If you are working on a construction project and need to level out the substrate before laying the final flooring, you may be asking yourself about the benefits of flowing screed in Gloucestershire. After all, they are a relatively recent addition to the construction industry, but why do people claim that they are so much better than a simple sand and cement screed?

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.

There is nothing new about underfloor heating. It can be traced back as far as 7,000 years ago when people cut trenches into the floors and covered them with stones which were heated by strategically place fires. However, we have come on with our heating systems since those days, and today your underfloor heating can be either an electric system using electric cables, or a water-based system with heated water being pumped through a system of pipes under the floor.

When you are designing any sort of new building project, one of the many things that you need to consider is the levelness of the floors. For many years now, the answer has been to cover the substrate with a layer of screed in order to provide as flat a surface as possible on which to add the final flooring, whatever it may be.

We’re not saying that choosing the right floor for other parts of your home is easy, but when it comes to kitchens and bathrooms, there’s a lot more to consider. As well as being generally waterproof, flooring in these areas must be easy to clean and maintain.
