Planning and Execution of Screed Floor for Underfloor Heating in a Large Executive House
Flow Screed Services Surrey was engaged to provide a comprehensive solution for the installation of a screed floor with underfloor heating in a large executive house. The project required meticulous planning and execution to meet the client’s specific requirements and the technical challenges posed by the underfloor heating system.
Client's Requirement:
The client needed a screed floor solution that could accommodate underfloor heating while meeting the strict depth limitations of the floor zone. With some areas allowing for only a maximum depth of 45mm screed and as little as 20mm cover to the underfloor heating pipes, the solution needed to be both thin and highly conductive.
Solution Implemented:
Flow Screed Services Surrey recommended the use of Gypsol HTC screed, chosen for its thin section and high thermal conductivity. With a thermal conductivity of 2.5W/mK, Gypsol HTC was ideal for optimising the efficiency of the underfloor heating system and minimising energy use. Additionally, its low mass enabled a rapid response to changes in air temperature, further enhancing energy efficiency.
Installation Challenges
The building programme required the installation of 750m2 of screed in a single pour, necessitating careful coordination and a continuous supply of screed during the pour. Hope Construction Materials, based in Egham, Surrey, was selected as the supplier capable of meeting these requirements.
Execution:
Flow Screed Services Surrey meticulously planned and executed the installation process, ensuring a seamless and efficient pour of the Gypsol HTC screed. The team worked in close collaboration with Hope Construction Materials to coordinate the supply of 33 cubic metres of screed continuously during the pour, meeting the project’s demanding timeline.
Client Testimonial:
The client expressed their satisfaction with the outcome, stating: “A big thank you to Kevin and William at Flow Screed Services Surrey Ltd. Can you please thank all your team for all their effort on Thursday 15th January 2015. We are very pleased with the screed and grateful to you and your team for carrying out the whole process so efficiently.”
The successful planning and execution of the screed floor installation for underfloor heating in the large executive house exemplify Flow Screed Services Surrey’s commitment to quality and efficiency. The use of Gypsol HTC screed, coupled with careful coordination with the supplier, ensured that the client’s requirements were met with precision and excellence.
