‘Screed’

A Buildingtalk guide

Start with the news release Romans understood benefits of underfloor heating from Instarmac, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ultra-Floor take a closer look modern types of underfloor heating (UFH) systems available in including warm water pipes and electric matting.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Knauf Brio Dry Floor Screed beats wet screeds from Knauf Drywall: "Brio Dry Floor Screed from Knauf Drywall has many advantages over wet screeds and timber decks, particularly for newbuild or refurbished residential and commercial buildings.".

In September 2011, we covered the news from Fermacell - take a look at Fermacell fast commercial flooring system which says: "Fermacell dry flooring systems is quicker to install than wet screed options, as this granular dry screed can be laid on uneven floors prior to adding Fermacell overlay systems.".

Take a look also at the news release from Saint-Gobain Weber, Saint-Gobain Weber floor screed levels new studios, as well as Gaia Climate Solutions underfloor heating from Gaia, and Heat Mat 47 amp ice and snow melting thermostat from Heat Mat.
