Why screed and insulate my floor?

ufh_with_screedScreed is a mineral-based flooring solution that gives an excellent finish for laying down different floor types e.g. wood, laminate or tiling. It also works well with underfloor heating to transfer heat effectively to the living or working space of the room. Arctic Air use flowing screed rather than sand and cement screed because of its benefits:

  • Quicker warm-up response times - flowing screed encapsulates underfloor heating pipes thereby preventing air gaps that affect heat transfer
  • Reduced drying times - flowing screed requires less thickness over underfloor pipes therefore dries quicker
  • Greater consistency - the screed mixture is produced to industry standards every time

 

Heat moves from warmer areas to colder areas, it’s simple. Floor insulation works on this principle efficiently, continuously and quietly to reduce heat loss or gain through conduction, convection and radiation. Floor insulation combines excellently with heat pump systems and underfloor heating to increase the energy efficiency of a building and improve its rating in the Code for Sustainable Homes. floor_insulation

Floor insulation from Arctic Air offers the following benefits:

  • Compliance with compulsory Building Regulations
  • Reduction in heat loss or gain
  • Reduction in the risk of freezing
  • Provision of condensation control
