Liquid screed, pumped screed or flow screed, eliminate the difficulties associated with getting a good floor finish using traditional floor screeds. At Thermotech, such problems were highlighted during the installation of underfloor heating systems.
Traditional floor screeds are very rarely level, has lots of air pockets in it, that weaken it and cause inefficiency with underfloor heating, has to be transported into the work area - usually by wheel barrow - with the potential to cause serious damage to underfloor heating pipe loops.
Knowing that liquid screed has been widely used on the continent for several decades, and in the UK for over 15 years on large commercial developments, we investigated the practicalities of bringing this process to smaller scale projects, such as an individual house build, right through to a project the size of a shopping centre.As a result of this we identified a process that we regard as the highest possible quality floor finish available.

Services
Thermotech Screed offers a range of screed and pumped concrete products suitable for a wide variety of applications. Underfloor heating screed, as such, does not exist as as an individual or specific screed product. Yes, along with others we refer to "underfloor heating screed" but really we should say "screed for underfloor heating".
We are in the process of upgrading our equipment and telephone numbers are changing in the process. In order to limit the impact of additional charges made by some telephone service providers we are replacing our 0845* numbers during these changes. The London area has now been updated and the new contact details are shown below but these are duplicated here for your convenience.
SR1 requires no more than 3mm deviation along a 3m length and this photograph shows that good preparation pays off as we cannot insert a 1mm plastic packer at any point. In fact over the total area of 240m2 there is only 2.4mm deviation from end-to-end. 12mm was required between the screed and the bottom of the door to allow for the floor covering.
Thermotech operate throughout most of Britain, although not quite Land's End to John O'Groats! Dealing with the leading suppliers of liquid screed - Lafarge Gyvlon - Bardon Highflow S - Maxit Alpha - Tarmac Truflow - Cemex Supaflo - we are able to meet pumped screed requirements throughout most of mainland Britain.
A frequent question asked and to be approached as a complete project overview and not just a liquid screed floor. Having worked in the construction industry for a considerable amount of time I am going to back track to my earlier days as an apprentice, to have a better understanding of what procedures need to be followed to create the fastest drying times for the project.
