The use of screeds in underfloor heating systems is common place. The screed that surrounds the pipe is a good conductor of heat making the system very efficient in transferring energy from the pipe to the floor surface. In many ways a heated screed can be treated in the same way as an unheated screed however consideration must be given to the initial warm up procedure and to expansion.

Timóleon offers three systems for screed floors:

The OgeeBoard system replaces the insulation that would otherwise be in the construction. No other staples, fixings or plates are needed. Screed barrows can be supported on duck boards, preventing the pipe being damage, and flowing screeds can be laid without the risk of the pipe being kicked loose.

The ClipPlate system is designed to be installed over any subfloor e.g. concrete, thermal or acoustic insulation. The ClipPlate panels come with an integrated insulation layer to provide some thermal resistance and to keep the plates rigid when installed. The ClipPlates support the weight of the screed barrows and site foot traffic, and prevent pipe being kicked loose.

The Staple system is a simple way of installing underfloor heating into a screed floor. The staple system requires an insulation base for the staples to fix to but cannot be used where they would break into acoustic insulation.
