Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating can work with any heating system that exists within your home, regardless of age – meaning that it’s extremely versatile. Warm water is pumped through from either your heat source e.g. Boiler and is forwarded to a central manifold. The manifold’s job is to mix both the warm water being pumped to it and cooler return water from the floor heating, making sure that the temperature stays relatively level between 30 and 65 degrees.

This mix of water is then pumped throughout the lengths of pipe beneath the floor, allowing the area to become continuously warm for as long as you have your thermostat switched on. This allows the system to simply work like that of a large low temperature storage radiator. Depending on the size and shape of the room in question, you can have multiple loops of pipe beneath your floor, though this will be an option available to you once you are clear on your dimensions!

From there, the floor will be able to absorb the warmth from the piping beneath, allowing your tiles, carpet or wooden overlay to grow warm steadily and within the parameters you set via your individual thermostat. The whole system becomes a large storage radiator and it is therefore able to be used at a relatively low temperature – meaning that unlike many basic radiators that need to be scorching hot to fill a room with warmth, the benefits of allowing the warmth to flow up through the floor means that you won’t normally need to set your starting temperature particularly high to feel the benefits

Liquid & Flowing Screed

When it comes to floor screed, liquid screed pours quickly and consistently, flowing into place and levelling itself without compromising on the strength and durability that you expect from other screed mixes. Using liquid flow screed on your floors is ideal for underfloor heating setups, as it can flow between and around the pipes, eliminating any issues with joins and gaps.

Liquid screed allows the benefits of the physical properties of the material, which allows a thinner screed, meaning less material to heat, allowing the room to reach your desired temperature faster and more efficiently.

Even without under-floor heating, liquid floor screed has advantages versus traditional screed, as liquid screed makes it possible to reduce the screed thickness to 25mm due to it being far more robust than traditional screeds, reaching strengths of 30N/mm2.
