The flatness tolerance is a regulation that is defined in DIN18202. It includes the maximum deviation from flatness and angle tolerances for professionally installed floors, ceilings and walls. As a specialist tradesman for the installation of underfloor heating, we naturally comply with these legal provisions and implement them in every project.
Screed is a mass that is used to build floors. The mixture, which is mostly based on concrete, is poured onto the unfinished floor in a liquid state as a substrate for the future floor covering and is specially hardened. It is primarily used for sound and heat insulation and can be supplemented by underfloor heating.

As a rule, cement screed is used in residential buildings. In addition to the cement screed, there are four other types of screed:
- calcium sulphate screed
- Mastic asphalt screed
- synthetic resin screed
- magnesia screed
The type of screed varies depending on the use, load and size of the area.
Most builders soft on use cement screed for the basement. This is particularly cheap and robust. Note that installation in the basement usually requires special heaters and dryers. These rooms are usually cold and poorly ventilated, which is why the installation should always be carried out by a professional. We would be happy to make you a personal offer!
The dry screed is particularly suitable for laying on a wooden beam ceiling, as it has a low dead weight. When using it, you also benefit from a short installation time and a low installation height.
Bonded screed is used to withstand the weather and loads in a garage. This is cement screed or mastic asphalt screed, which are particularly resilient. As specialists in our field, we regularly work for companies and private individuals. Feel free to contact us at any time!
Expansion joints are placed wherever the screed is interrupted by other objects. This includes walls, fittings, doors, pipes and all other objects. In order to be able to place the expansion joints correctly, specialist knowledge and experience are required. As a specialist company for screed laying, we are happy to offer you our support!
The costs for laying the screed vary depending on the size of the room, the features of the screed and the type of screed. In general, prices start at around 18 euros per square meter and vary depending on the size of the area.
Screed is used almost everywhere as a subfloor - whether outside or inside. Only in old houses with wooden beam ceilings there is usually no screed, but it can be installed later. Dry screed is suitable for the renovation of old buildings with wooden beam ceilings, as it is particularly light and requires a low installation height.
If it is heated screed, i.e. underfloor heating is integrated, heating up is mandatory. With normal screed, a heating plan is not mandatory, but highly recommended. Due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, the screed can contract or expand. In order to prevent the resulting cracks, the screed must be professionally heated. This is the only way you can benefit from longevity and avoid structural damage. It is best to trust the professionals here and contact us for a non-binding consultation!
The separating layer protects the screed from moisture, improves the insulation and allows it extensive freedom of movement. This allows the screed to expand or contract with temperature fluctuations, preventing cracks, tension and other damage.
After laying, wet screed must rest for at least 3 days and must not be exposed to any loads. In general, screed should only be walked on when it is ready for covering, which is usually reached after 7 to 21 days. Dry screed is an exception and can be fully loaded immediately after successful installation.
Depending on the damage, the screed can be repaired. Repairs are always preferred if possible, since removing the floor screed and reinstalling it is very time-consuming and expensive. Damage to the screed should be repaired as quickly as possible by a specialist company before it spreads and possibly causes lasting damage to the building fabric.
Underfloor heating can also be installed or retrofitted in old buildings. Thin-layer screed and dry screed are particularly suitable for this, as they have a particularly low installation height. If you are considering installation on a wooden beam ceiling, dry screed is the better choice, as it is not only particularly thin at 30 mm, but also particularly light.
In order to improve the sound and heat insulation of a room, construction companies use floating screed. With this method, the screed is separated from the raw floor by a special separating layer. Contact with the walls is also prevented by special edge insulation strips, giving the screed more room to move and better insulation.
In theory, you can lay the screed yourself. However, we recommend calling in a specialist tradesman, since expansion joints, insulation and drying must be taken into account during installation. Failure to do so can result in serious structural damage and expensive repairs. We have been working in the field of screed laying for over 30 years, contact us and save yourself the trouble!

Ventilation is essential when laying the screed, as the moisture content in the screed may only be a few percent before it is ready for covering. For this purpose, a constant room temperature and sufficient ventilation must be ensured.
The thin-layer screed is the ideal choice for existing buildings with low ceilings, as the space is practically not reduced with an installation height of 3,5 to 4,5 cm. The installation of thin-layer screed is also possible in combination with underfloor heating. Just talk to us and you too can benefit from the pleasant and healthy radiant heat!
Cement screed is mostly used for wet areas because it is stable, water-repellent and cheap to install. When used in the shower, it is important to pay attention to a gradient so that the waste water does not accumulate and mold does not form.

If you want to install underfloor heating, so-called heated screed is used. This is particularly robust and is characterized by high thermal conductivity. In the case of particularly low ceilings, a special thin-layer screed or a dry underfloor heating system can also be installed.
The use of rapid screed ensures a particularly fast drying time. However, there is a heating plan for every type of screed that must be taken into account. Only by achieving a minimum moisture content is the readiness for covering possible, which in turn is necessary for laying the floor covering.
If it is heated screed, i.e. underfloor heating is integrated, heating up is mandatory. With normal screed, a heating plan is not mandatory, but highly recommended. Due to fluctuating temperature and humidity, the screed can contract or expand. In order to prevent the resulting cracks, the screed must be professionally heated.

Laying the screed undoubtedly belongs in the hands of a professional. Most hobby craftsmen will probably be overwhelmed when it comes to choosing the right type of screed. In addition, certain tolerances and values are met and expansion joints are planned. If you want to install underfloor heating, there are even more specifications to be met. Our specialist company has been specializing in the installation of screed for over 30 years. Feel free to contact our customer service and let us create a suitable offer for you!
All floor coverings can be laid on screed. It is advisable to use heat-conducting floor coverings if you want to install underfloor heating. Flowing and natural stones conduct heat particularly efficiently, so that you get the best possible benefit from your underfloor heating.
The removal of screed is extremely time-consuming and should only be carried out by professionals. The costs for screed removal usually start at 40 euros and vary depending on the area and type of screed.
Screed acts as a subfloor and primarily levels out unevenness. Furthermore, screed provides better sound and heat insulation, which is particularly useful on the ground floor. In old buildings, the screed layer is sometimes completely missing, which is characterized by high heat loss. This can be compensated for quickly and inexpensively by installing thin-layer screed or dry screed. Just contact us and we will be happy to make you an individual offer!
Subsequent underfloor heating is in no way inferior to an existing one. Quite the opposite: By retrofitting underfloor heating, you improve the room climate in the long term and do something good for your health. The radiant heat feels particularly pleasant and does not turbulent the air - a clear plus for allergy sufferers. In addition, underfloor heating heats the room more efficiently, which means you can save on heating costs in the long term. If you are interested in a professional installation, we look forward to hearing from you!
