When to install?
In all builds, we recommend that Easy Screed is installed once the building is fully sealed and ideally with the internal plastering complete. Because of the simple installation process for Easy Screed, it allows for the full construction of the house before installation of underfloor heating pipes, minimising any potential damage to the heating system.
