After Installing Liquid Screed For Underfloor Heating
Following installation the environment must remain sealed for 2 days.
The screed should be protected from sunlight & frost during this time.
Do not cover with polythene.
Storage of materials on the screed surface, accidental exposure to water, humid or cold environments will delay drying.
When installed over the water-heated floor systems the screed must be heated prior to application of floor finishes. This can commence 7 days after installation. Heating should be gradual in 3-5°C increments. At no time should the temperature exceed 50°C.
For tiled underfloor heating, a 3 week cycle is recommended before tiling; 7 days running up to temperature, 7 days at your operating temperature and 7 days cooling down. This will help condition the screed to movement without the floor covering in place.
Heating should not be switched back on again for a further 14 days after tiling over the water heated flooring, it can then be brought up to the operating temperature gradually.
EasyFlows screed for the best underfloor heating systewill dry at a rate of 1mm per day for a thickness of up to 40mm and then at 0.5mm per day for anything over 40mm.
IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE THAT THE SCREED IS FULLY DRIED OUT PRIOR TO APPLICATION OF FLOOR FINISHES.
When applying adhesives or cement based products the screed surface MUST be primed with a primer recommended by the manufacturer.
It is advised that the screed be lightly abraded to aid absorption of the primer. For any enquiries regarding liquid screed for underfloor heating, contact our liquid screed Midlands team.
