By choosing us, you can expect:
Is liquid screed really the best choice for my underfloor heating?
Without a doubt! Self levelling liquid screed is an excellent partner for underfloor heating systems. Its fluid nature allows it to flow seamlessly around the heating pipes, ensuring they are completely surrounded without any air pockets. This close contact provides superb thermal conductivity, meaning your heating will warm up quicker and operate more efficiently, saving you money. For optimal performance from your underfloor heating investment, we highly recommend a thermal liquid screed – it’s specifically designed to maximise heat transfer and will make a real difference to your comfort and energy bills.
How long till can I walk on my new screed floor, and when can we start tiling?
You can usually walk lightly on standard liquid screed after about 24 to 48 hours, but this can vary slightly depending on the temperature and humidity levels within your property. When it comes to tiling, liquid screed typically needs several weeks to dry thoroughly. If you’re working to a tight schedule, be sure to ask us at Buxton Flow Screeds about our rapid-drying screed options. These advanced mixes significantly reduce drying times, often allowing you to apply your chosen floor finishes much sooner.
What do I need to do to prepare before you arrive to lay the liquid screed?
We’ll give you detailed instructions, but the key thing is to make sure the subfloor is structurally sound and completely clear of any loose materials or debris. Any insulation boards need to be laid flat and securely, and any polythene membrane must be installed correctly, overlapping up the edges of the walls like a basin. This creates a watertight barrier to contain the liquid screed as it cures. Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through every step of this process, so you’ll have all the help and guidance you need.
How thick will the liquid screed be, and will it definitely be perfectly level?
The required thickness for self levelling liquid screed depends on the specific product and the overall floor construction, but it’s generally laid between 40mm and 75mm. For floors with underfloor heating, we ensure there’s enough depth, usually around 50-55mm, to properly encase the pipes for efficient heat transfer.
And yes, your floor will absolutely end up perfectly level. The liquid screed’s natural fluidity means it flows to find its own level, resulting in a very flat and smooth surface (typically achieving an SR2 finish or better) across the entire area. This precise level achieved by the liquid screed provides an ideal base for all types of floor finishes.
Can you give me a rough idea of the cost of liquid screed? How do I get an accurate quotation?
The cost of installing self levelling liquid screed is influenced by several factors, including the total floor area, the required thickness, site access in the West Midlands, and whether you require specialist products like rapid-drying screed.
