They are highly resistant to moisture, mould, shrinking, cracking and other sources of degradation that conventional screeds battle against.
Between underfloor heating and screeding, you're investing in an ultra-durable system that can deliver reliable, energy-efficient comfort for decades with minimal maintenance costs.
While warm living rooms and bedrooms are an obvious use case for underfloor heating, the benefits extend to many other areas of modern homes and buildings. Radiant heat is also an excellent choice for:
- Bathrooms: Stay cosy even fresh from the shower when you step onto heated tile or stone floors.
- Basements: Efficiently heat finished or unfinished below-grade spaces that often feel chilled.
- Sunrooms: Consistently comfortable temperatures in this highly glazed living space.
- Entryways: Ensure no one endures cold floors in the mudroom or foyer.
- Outdoor Areas: Snow melt systems embedded in driveways and walkways for ice prevention.
Our team at UK Screeds has extensive experience designing and installing underfloor heating and liquid screed systems. We can ensure the system is optimised for the specific room dimensions, insulation values, and heating requirements.
The Ideal Pairing with Liquid Screeds
While traditional sand and cement screeds can be used with underfloor heating, liquid screeds offer significant advantages that enhance the overall performance and benefits of radiant heating.
The free-flowing, self-levelling nature of the liquid screed also ensures an ultra-smooth, level substrate for your final flooring.
From an installation standpoint, liquid screeds involve significantly less manual labour than heavy sand and cement mix screeds. The consistency allows it to be easily pumped throughout the job site for fast, mess-free installation by our skilled crews.
This precision installation is also crucial for underfloor heating systems that rely on evenly distributed piping or electric cables embedded at precise depths within the screed. Any imperfections could hamper their heating performance.
Finally, liquid screeds offer fast curing and drying times versus conventional screeds. This allows the final flooring to be installed quickly after the screed is laid, accelerating project timelines.
UK Screeds can work with you to design and install underfloor heating and screeding that maximises comfort and efficiency for decades. Radiant heat is an investment that quickly pays dividends through lower energy bills and unmatched cosy warmth in any space.
