New homes, retail outlets and commercial builds are all benefitting from the advanced technology provided by flow screed, including a fully guaranteed flooring finish, eco-friendly design and competitive pricing on our products and services.
It was the Romans that first introduced underfloor heating to the British Isles but it’s only in the 21st century that we’ve seen a real growth in its popularity. Water underfloor heating utilises a grid of pipes enclosed in liquid screed which is an effective thermal conductor. The natural propensity of heat to rise evenly means that underfloor heating requires lower water temperatures to warm the room above.
All Buxton Flow Screeds products are sourced in the UK, which means that we can guarantee their quality and their adherence to EU standards. Developers and contractors in Manchester have provided positive feedback about our underfloor heating installations; they are impressed by speed of the flow screed pour, and the rapid drying times – allowing light foot traffic after just 24/48 hours.

All our Manchester clients are given direct access to our specialist installation teams, ensuring accurate, experience-based information from start to finish.

Why Choose Underfloor Heating?
Underfloor heating is a growing trend in Britain at the moment; it’s a popular choice for new builds and properties undergoing refurbishment. This type of heating was introduced to Britain 2,000 years ago by the Romans but, until recently, central heating has been the popular choice for UK homes. Recently, however, the health benefits attendant on underfloor heating have shone a spotlight on the underfloor alternative.
Radiators fed by a central heating boiler disperses up to 90% of their heat via convention, meaning that hot air rises from its source and is replaced by cooler air which is, in its turn, heated. This creates a circular motion which can result in patchy heating, dried out air and an excess of dust in the atmosphere. Convection heating can exacerbate eczema and breathing allergies.
The heat produced by underfloor heating is radiant, meaning that it rises naturally from the source and heats objects it encounters rather than heating the air in the atmosphere. Radiant heat makes the body feel warmer more quickly, which means that rooms can be heated to lower temperatures, without worrying about the problems created by radiator-sourced heating.
Is Liquid Screed Better than Traditional Screed for Underfloor Heating?
Screed is an important component in underfloor heating installations. Once the water pipes are laid, screed is used to envelop them and act as an effective heat conductor, as well providing the foundation for your floor finish. Traditional screed has been used for this purpose in the past, but our Manchester contractors tell us that liquid screed is an advanced technology which does the job better and is a more effective heat conductor.
Traditional screed has to be mixed by hand, using a ratio of 4:1 sand to cement. The mix itself requires skill and experience. It has to factor in environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity to create the right consistency. A mix that is too wet can cause damp down the line; too dry and there’s a risk of cracking or curling.
Liquid screed has been designed to produce a perfect finish; it is pre-mixed and can be poured on site using a small team of specialist installers. The liquid consistency hugs the water pipes close, eradicating air voids and ensuring an even spread of heat. Flow screed has also been developed for rapid heat response rates.
What are the Advantages of Liquid Screed?
Speed – flow screed is designed to be installed quickly and dry fast. After just 24/48 hours it is dry enough for light foot traffic.
Finish – the mix has been extensively tested with the aim of providing a perfect finish every time. The surface regularity easily achieves SR2 finish as described in BS8204.
Application – liquid screed can be poured on site, and is 10 times faster to install than dry screed.
Uses – flow screed is self levelling, and naturally eradicates flaws in the original flooring during the pour to create a flawless finish. The liquid consistency hugs water pipes leaving no air voids.
Health & Safety – liquid screed is non-combustible (tested to BS476, Part 4), and is protein free which ensures that harmful bacteria cannot be harboured.
Any Other Benefits?
We have received the following feedback from our Manchester clients:
Less Dust – underfloor heating doesn’t dry out the moisture in the air, and reduces the dust in the atmosphere.
Enhanced Thermal Conductivity – our Manchester clients tell us that they are able to heat rooms using lower water temperatures with underfloor heating installations.
Competitive Pricing – the combination of experienced installers and an advanced technology screed means that installation is extremely quick and cost effective.
Underfloor Heating is Eco-Friendly
Clients across Manchester tell us that innovation is all about eco-friendly solutions that reduce energy consumption and heating bills. Underfloor heating systems utilising liquid screed leads to ongoing reductions in your energy usage. When used in conjunction with smart metering, it leads to appreciable savings.
Liquid screed was designed as a ‘green flooring’ solution. It has been designed for enhanced thermal conductivity, making lower water temperatures a new norm.
