Underfloor heating is known for its efficiency and comfort, making it an excellent choice for care homes, retirement homes, and bungalows. When combined with liquid screed, its benefits are even greater. This combination provides a safe, comfortable, and energy-efficient heating solution that enhances the living conditions of elderly residents.
Cementitious liquid screed is an exceptional choice for flooring, especially when paired with underfloor heating. Designed to deliver top-notch thermal conductivity, Clockwork’s screeds ensure that heat is evenly distributed, enhancing the efficiency and responsiveness of your heating system. They can be installed as thin as 25mm, improving heating performance and allowing for better insulation and reduced running costs.
Efficient Heat Distribution
Liquid screed flows easily and covers heating pipes completely, ensuring efficient heat transfer and uniform warmth across the floor. This improves the performance of the underfloor heating system, making it more effective and energy-efficient.
Quick Installation and Drying Time
Liquid screeds are quicker to install than traditional screeds and dries faster. This reduces the overall project timeline and allows for faster occupancy, particularly in care homes and retirement homes where minimising disruption is crucial.
Enhanced Durability and Longevity
Liquid screed provides a robust and durable surface that can withstand the wear and tear of daily use. Its high strength and reduced shrinkage reduce the risk of cracks, ensuring a longer lifespan for the floor, resulting in fewer repairs and lower maintenance costs.
Underfloor heating and liquid screed work well together because liquid screed maximises heat transfer, ensuring even warmth distribution. It also dries quickly, allowing for faster project completion. With its low thermal resistance, liquid screed enhances the heating system's efficiency by reducing energy loss. Its seamless application around heating pipes also creates a smooth surface that improves overall heating performance.
Constant, Comfortable Heat
Underfloor heating provides consistent, low-level warmth throughout a room. Unlike traditional radiators that create intense, localised heat, underfloor heating distributes warmth evenly across the entire floor surface. This eliminates cold spots and maintains a stable room temperature, which is crucial for elderly individuals who are often more sensitive to temperature fluctuations. This consistent warmth significantly enhances comfort and well-being.
Safety Benefits
Safety is paramount in care homes, retirement homes, and bungalows. Traditional radiators and heaters can pose burn risks, especially for elderly residents with slower reaction times or conditions affecting heat sensitivity. Underfloor heating operates at lower temperatures, making the floors warm but never hot enough to cause burns. This creates a safer living environment, reducing the risk of injury and providing peace of mind for residents and their families.
Enhanced Mobility and Space
Underfloor heating improves mobility and optimises space usage. Radiators and heating units can be obtrusive, occupying valuable wall and floor space that could be better used for furniture or mobility aids. Installing underfloor heating opens up spaces, making them easier to navigate, which is particularly beneficial in bungalows and retirement homes where ease of movement is essential.
