Liquid Floor Screed

Liquid screed eliminates the difficulties associated with getting a good finish using traditional screed. At Thermotech, such problems were highlighted during the installation of underfloor heating systems.

Traditional screed is 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 damage to underfloor heating.
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. But don’t just take our word for it; take a look at the facts below.
Over the past 5 years we have invested heavily to bring you the ultimate floor finish.

Liquid Screed with Underfloor Heating

The nature of liquid screed eliminates air pockets found in conventional screeds and this, in turn, offers a greater thermal efficiency and strength per mm depth.

These characteristics benefit any screed installation, but become an unbeatable combination of underfloor heating and liquid screed.

Thermotech are Approved installers for Cemex Supaflo, Lafarge Gyvlon and Tarmac Truflow
Please note that the above spellings are correct although we have seen them written as: Cemex Superflow or Supaflow, Lafarge Givlon, Gyvlong or Givelon, Tarmac True Flow or Trueflo. It is also worth noting that Lafarge Gyvlon has been rebranded as Lafarge Agilia Gyvlon and this should not be confused with other products from the Agilia range which are not calcium sulfate based liquid screeds. Although some of the Lafarge Agilia products are also pumpable but do not possess the same characteristics as Gyvlon liquid screed which has a calcium sulfate, rather than a cementitous binder. In addition there are many pumpable screed products from all the major suppliers that are designed as repair screeds or thin covering only and have totally different characteristics to Gyvlon, Truflow or Supaflo.
