There are many floor screeding service providers across the United Kingdom. With all the choices out there, you may wonder why you should choose UK Screeds Ltd. amongst the rest to fulfil your floor screeding needs.

If you are planning a construction project in Bristol, whether that is a single-family home or a larger building, you should seriously consider installing underfloor heating as a part of the project. This is because it has so many advantages over and above a radiator system.

Calcium Sulphate screeds, also known as liquid screeds, gypsum screeds, self-levelling screeds, anhydrous (dry) screeds, and a number of other terms, have many advantages over and above the traditional sand and cement screeds that have been used for years. 

When using a floor screed in Bracknell for your construction project, quite obviously you want the surface on which to lay your final chosen flooring to be as flat and level as possible. That is the main point of using a screed in the first place.

When engaged on any construction project, one of the most import things that you need to consider is the flooring. It obviously needs to be as flat and level as humanly possible, and in order to achieve that, you need to lay a screed on top of the concrete substrate.

It may seem obvious, but when you are constructing a building there are many things to take into consideration, and one of them is that you will need the final flooring to be as flat and level as possible.

If you are building a new home in High Wycombe, you will no doubt be installing underfloor heating. This has so many advantages over and above a traditional radiator system, one of them being that it will cost considerably less to run. Provided the floor preparation in High Wycombe is done correctly, and in conjunction with a liquid screed such as we use at UK Screeds, then the cost of installation will be about the same as a radiator system.

Calcium sulphate flowing screeds have been gaining rapidly in popularity over the last few years as their many benefits over and above the traditional sand and cement mix have become apparent. They are very easy to lay because instead of being trowelled on to the substrate by hand, they are pumped on to it using a long hose attached to the delivery truck. In fact, it is calculated that a flowing liquid screed can be laid as much as 20 times as fast as sand and cement. 

One of the fastest growing home improvement projects in the UK is that of installing underfloor heating because of the considerable benefits over and above a radiator system. Certainly, there is a cost involved, but the savings on energy usage and efficiency pay for themselves in a surprisingly short time, and from there onwards it is savings all the way. Underfloor heating also adds to the value of a property.
