Benefits of Liquid Screed:

✅ Quick Drying: Achieves full strength in just 48 hours.
✅ Ideal for Underfloor Heating: Flows easily around pipes, eliminating air pockets for optimal thermal conductivity and heat transfer.
✅ Versatile: Suitable for use in all types of buildings.
✅ Durable and Long-Lasting: Provides a strong and stable foundation.

Liquid screed is perfect for quick, efficient, and long-lasting installations, especially when paired with underfloor heating.

What Type of Screed Should You Choose?

When choosing between concrete screed and liquid screed, there are a few key differences to consider:

Concrete Screed (Traditional)

✅ Cost-Effective: Concrete is the more affordable option.
✅ Longer Drying Time: Requires 28 days to fully dry before other work can begin.
✅ Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of applications, both residential and commercial.

Liquid Screed (Anhydrite)

✅ Quick Drying: Reaches full strength in 48 hours, allowing for faster progress on your project.
✅ Faster Installation: The process is quicker than traditional screeds.
✅ Better Thermal Conductivity: Excellent for underfloor heating, ensuring better heat transfer.
✅ Smooth Finish: Provides a perfectly even surface without the risk of air pockets.

Summary:

Concrete screed is a budget-friendly option for projects that don't require fast installation.
Liquid screed is the better choice for faster completion, improved thermal efficiency, and quicker progress.

Choose liquid screed for the best performance, especially when paired with underfloor heating, or opt for concrete screed if you’re looking to save on costs.
