Underfloor Heating Screed Cheltenham
Screed Dreams: Top Mix Takes Cheltenham’s Underfloor Heating to the Next Level
Underfloor heating is becoming an increasingly popular choice for homeowners in Cheltenham looking to warm their houses efficiently. Installing underfloor heating in Cheltenham under a screed substrate allows the system to effectively heat the concrete layer, which then gently radiates warmth across the whole floor area.
At Top Mix, we specialise in supplying and installing high-quality liquid screeds which offer the perfect base for water-based underfloor heating systems. We have worked on all types of new build and renovation projects needing underfloor heating.
Benefits of Underfloor Heating Screed
There are many great reasons to consider underfloor heating screed in Cheltenham for your home:
- Whole floor area warmth – heat gently radiates across the entire floor surface, eliminating cold spots.
- Energy efficiency – underfloor systems provide even, consistent warmth using less energy than radiator systems.
- Comfort – gentle warmth from the floor is comfortable and soothing.
- Aesthetic appeal – no radiators means full flexibility in interior design.
- Health benefits – the lack of convection currents contributes to superior indoor air quality.
- Compatibility – underfloor heating works with almost any floor covering, from tile to timber.
- Value-adding – underfloor heating is an attractive selling point for your property.
Types of Underfloor Heating for Screed
There are a few main underfloor heating system types that work well with screed:
- Water-Filled Pipes – PE-Xc or PERT pipes in loops or coils are embedded into the screed, with warm water from a boiler heating the floor.
- Electrical Wire Systems – electric heating cables or mesh systems are fixed to insulation panels under the screed layer.
- Low Profile Systems – thinner water pipe or electric mat systems allow for a minimum screed depth.
