Underfloor Heating Screed
Advantages of Underfloor Heating Screed
Underfloor heating screed is a specially formulated material designed to enhance the performance of underfloor heating systems. Unlike traditional sand and cement screeds, underfloor heating screed is engineered to provide superior thermal conductivity and flow characteristics, allowing it to evenly distribute heat across the floor surface.
This type of screed is typically applied in a thinner layer, which not only reduces the overall weight but also accelerates the drying time, enabling quicker installation of floor coverings. The self-levelling properties of underfloor heating screed ensure a smooth, flat surface that is ideal for various flooring types, making it a preferred choice for modern construction and renovation projects.
Why choose Flow Screed Services for Underfloor Heating Screed?
- Enhanced Thermal Conductivity: Underfloor heating screed is specifically designed to improve heat transfer, ensuring that warmth is evenly distributed across the entire floor surface, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency.
- Self-Levelling Properties: This type of screed flows easily to fill in gaps and create a smooth, flat surface, eliminating the need for extensive manual labour and ensuring a high-quality finish.
- Thinner Application: Underfloor heating screed can be applied in thinner layers compared to traditional screeds, reducing the overall weight and making it suitable for upper-floor installations.
- Rapid Drying Time: Designed to dry faster than traditional sand and cement screeds, underfloor heating screed allows for quicker project completion and earlier installation of floor coverings.
- Compatibility with Various Floor Coverings: This screed provides an ideal base for a wide range of floor finishes, including tiles, vinyl, and carpets, ensuring versatility in design options.
- Reduced Risk of Cracking: The formulation of underfloor heating screed minimises shrinkage and cracking during the drying process, resulting in a more stable and durable floor surface.

What is Underfloor Heating Screed?
Underfloor heating screed offers many advantages which are: uniform room temperature, comfort, safety and space saving. Also, underfloor heating is well adapted to all forms of energy production: particularly renewable, low temperature systems, such as air and ground source heat pumps.
Drying times
Drying time for a screed is approximately 1mm per day, up to 40mm. Beyond 40mm, 0.5mm per day. Underfloor heating, may also be used to reduce the screed drying time you can put the underfloor heating on after 7 day to help speed up the drying time to 2mm per day up to 40mm. After 48 hours, the building must be properly ventilated.
