Choosing the right type of screed is critical when installing flooring for a building project. It is quite literally the foundation of the build. While traditional sand and cement screed has been used for decades, liquid floor screed has gained popularity due to its numerous advantages.

Liquid floor screed for underfloor heating

Liquid screed is a popular choice in properties with underfloor heating systems due to its many benefits.

Because liquid screed has excellent thermal properties, it can transfer heat from the underfloor heating system to the room quickly and effectively. This promotes a more comfortable and even temperature throughout the room.

Clockwork Screed underfloor heating screeds have an extremely high thermal conductivity as low as low as 0.043 W·m-1·K-1. This improves a building's environmental performance while also lowering energy costs, improving the performance of the underfloor heating system and helps contractors achieve their energy conversation goals.

Because liquid screed is self-levelling, it can flow into every corner of the room and provide a level surface. This helps to ensure that the underfloor heating system is properly and efficiently installed.

It is also a quick installation process, with around 1000m² applied each day. And it is quick drying, allowing footfall within 24 to 48 hours which allows trades back on site and therefore speeds up the completion of the project.

The installation process

To reduce the danger of a subpar installation and performance, both the heating and the screed will be considered at the initial design of the floor screeding project. To prevent cracking, the design will also consider where to install movement or expansion joints.

Tripod depth gauges are used to make sure the floor is level before applying the screed. After applying the screed, we make sure that the minimum amount of screed cover has been achieved and that the screed has been appropriately compacted around any heating pipes. Before installing an underfloor heating system, we make sure the floor has had enough time to dry.

Specialists in liquid floor screed for commercial projects

It is common for commercial spaces to experience high foot traffic, so the floor screed specification must meet the necessary requirements.

Floor screed, as a pre-mixed material, does not need to be prepared or mixed on the job site. Without having to wheel the slurry back and forth, the floor screed can be applied directly to the floor surface without interfering with other ongoing construction operations.

With no shrinkage or cracks, the self-levelling floor screed mixture creates an even surface without the need for human intervention. Liquid screed dries quickly and may be walked on in less than 24 hours, cutting down on project duration and expense.

Clockwork Screed provides and installs liquid floor screed for commercial applications. We have a wealth of experience collaborating with and advising property developers and general contractors on the best liquid floor screed application for their projects.

Specialists in liquid floor screed for domestic projects

Liquid screed is a popular flooring solution for domestic projects due to its numerous advantages over traditional sand and cement screed. Liquid screed is a cementitious, self-levelling material that can be poured onto the floor to provide a smooth and even surface for the installation.

For domestic projects, floor screeding is typically utilised to make a level and smooth floor surface. This solves problems like ageing, uneven floors or leftover adhesive or flooring material. To prepare the floor for a top covering like wood flooring, laminates, carpet, tiles, or vinyl coverings, floor screeding is used in home projects.

Screeds should be given time to cure. This is necessary to prevent the cracks that can appear when a screed dries out too quickly. The screed must hold onto its moisture for as long as possible. A polythene sheet can be used to cover the screed for many days to extend the process.
