The main function of thermal insulation is to ensure the thermal comfort of your home. What does this mean in practice? It is a pleasant feeling that induces overall well-being and allows us to relax or work in an optimally insulated home environment.
Flooring isn't just about choosing tiles or parquet, it's also about the underlying layers that ensure durability and functionality. We explain the world of screeds and explore where and which screed should be used for a robust foundation. From timelessly reliable cement screeds to anhydrite screeds, magnesium, synthetic resin or dry floors, we explain the pros and cons of each option. Whether floating or bonded, or with exposed surfaces for a contemporary aesthetic, we'll give you the knowledge you need to make informed decisions for a durable and visually appealing floor.
When you set out to build or renovate your floor, deciding on the right screed takes centre stage. Cementitious screed and anhydrite screed, the two main competitors, each bring their own benefits and considerations.
As the future use of the space is paramount in this decision-making process, we look at the characteristics of both screeds, from drying time to expansion considerations and reinforcement requirements. We demystify the choices so you can make an informed choice that will pave the way for a durable, functional and aesthetically pleasing floor.
