Integrating Underfloor Heating with Liquid Screed: Best Practices
Why Choose Liquid Screed for UFH?
High Thermal Conductivity: Liquid screed enhances heat transfer, ensuring efficient warming of the floor surface.
Self-Leveling Properties: This ensures the screed fully encapsulates the heating pipes, eliminating air gaps that could reduce efficiency.
Faster Drying Times: Liquid screed dries quickly, allowing faster progression to the next construction phase.
Best Practices for Integrating UFH with Liquid Screed
Proper Insulation: Install insulation boards before laying UFH pipes to prevent heat loss and improve energy efficiency.
Pipe Fixing and Layout: Secure the UFH pipes evenly, ensuring they remain in place when the screed is poured.
Correct Screed Depth: Follow manufacturer guidelines for screed thickness to optimize heat transfer while maintaining structural integrity.
Adequate Curing Time: Allow sufficient drying before turning on the heating system to prevent cracking or damage.
