Screeding over underfloor heating pipes

[bubbles65]

Never done one over heating pipes........what's the minimum/maximum depths and best mix? Also 3:1 or 4:1 or what? Floor area is about 24m. Anything else I need to know lads? Cheers.:RpS_thumbup:

Assuming its going onto insulation then the minimum depth will be 75mm with traditional semi dry screed

 

[warriorupnorth]

add fibres as well:RpS_thumbup:

 

[bubbles65]

Yep........going onto 100mm kingspan I think :RpS_thumbup:

**** them and just put a skimcoat over the insulation

 

[owls]

get a firm into pump some free flowing screed in,it will be done by dinner,theyll guarante it give you a cert to give to the clent, then you make a few quid on top of that
b*ll***s to barrowng it in etc donkey work and if your paying labourers etc to barrow it in.heaven forbid if you damage some of the underfloor heating pipe and it fails the pressure test,
youll be digging lumps back up again.

 

[paultheplasterer]

as owls said get it pumped any good pump firm will finish it as well
you can just stand there and take all the credit

:RpS_crying:Fk..................you've scared me off now:RpS_scared: I was thinking about throwing some slabs over the top for the barrow...........nee good?

Dont think flow screed will be economical for 24m2 , just lay a path of screed where your gonna run your barrow and be a bit carefull , those pipes are stronger than they look , i use 5-1 with fibres over underfloor heating also use a expansion joint on the perimeter is a good idea
