Buxton Flow Screeds is proud to offer clients across Peterborough second-to-none underfloor heating installation services. Our highly qualified installation teams provide advice and guidance as part of a comprehensive service from design ideas right through to testing and final handover. Our underfloor heating products combine innovative technology, eco-friendly credentials, and savings on your energy bills.
Underfloor heating is currently one of the most popular options for builders, developers, homeowners, and refurbishers across Peterborough. Our clients like the fact that the system guarantees evenly distributed heat throughout, which negates the need for radiators, making interiors more flexible.
We use a system of multi-layer plastic pipes which is the current system of choice for the European model, and is also compatible with condensing boiler systems. The pipes are enclosed in a layer of liquid screed, designed to provide the optimum conditions for thermal conductivity, this being a critical component of energy reduction. All of our underfloor heating system components are sourced within the UK.
We pride ourselves on creating local teams, made up of highly skilled installers. Our underfloor heating Peterborough clients are delighted by their availability and willingness to offer advice, guidance and detailed no obligation quotes.
At Buxton Flow Screeds we know that however great your product, it has to be matched by excellent customer service at every stage of the installation process. We’ve always placed our customers at the heart of everything we do, which is why these questions drive every decision we make:
Why Choose Underfloor Heating?
Underfloor heating has been around since the Romans first settled in Britain, and it’s currently enjoying something of a boom. Whilst radiators have been popular for the past few decades, Peterborough clients are now telling us that they’re looking for a more even distribution of heat in their interior spaces.
Underfloor heating doesn’t require radiators, instead it relies for its source upon a grid of water pipes laid beneath the floor, and then encased within a layer of liquid screed. Hot water passes through the pipes and speads across the floor area, thanks to the superb thermal conductivity of the liquid screed.
The heat rises through the floor into the air above, providing an even distribution. The natural propensity for heat to rise ensures that temperatures of around 20-24 degrees centigrade is easy to maintain, no matter the height of your ceiling.
Is Liquid Screed Better Than Traditional Screed for Underfloor Heating?
Traditional screed was the default flooring material in the twentieth century, and there are still underfloor heating companies that use it. Traditional screed comprises 4:1 sand to cement and it has to be manually mixed. This is a skilled job as each mix may differ according to the environmental conditions; too wet and it may not dry out properly, too dry and there may be problems with cracking, or shrinking.
For underfloor heating installation, research demonstrates that liquid screed provides a greater range of benefits. Its consistency ensures that pipes are encased without the creation of voids, or pockets of air, that might hamper thermal conductivity. Liquid screed dries more rapidly than traditional screed, and it can be laid more quickly, using a small team of experts.
What are the Advantages of Liquid Screed?
Speed – liquid screed needs no manual mixing and can be pumped into place accurately by a small team.
Finish – this innovative product has been rigorously tested to ensure it provides a perfect finish every time. The surface regularity easily achieves SR2 finish as described in BS8204.
Application – the flexibility and consistency of liquid screed makes it a great component to work with. It’s easy to apply and quick to dry.
Uses – liquid screed is the perfect material for underfloor heating Peterborough. It has been shown to provide rapid thermal conductivity, and is resilient and low maintenance.
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?
Our Peterborough underfloor heating clients have told us:
Dust Free – one of the problems with central heating has been the dust it creates. The use of liquid screed as a component in your underfloor heating installation reduces dust dramatically.
Enhanced Thermal Conductivity – our Peterborough clients comment on the fact that spaces heated by underfloor pipes don’t have ‘cold spots’; the heat really does distribute evenly.
Competitive Pricing – liquid screed can be installed quickly by small teams, and it dr
Underfloor Heating is Eco-Friendly
Underfloor heating installation recognises the 21st century need to cut back on energy consumption and use sustainable materials wherever possible. Our underfloor heating system is designed to use low water temperatures, making it energy efficient. The liquid screed component is often described as ‘green flooring’ as its design incorporates recycled materials and its thermal conductivity helps to reduce energy usage.
