Why we pour Cemfloor
We're manufacturer-certified Cemfloor installers, trained by the maker, with every batch logged. The products we lay are Cemfloor CT-C30-F6 and Cemfloor Therm. Made in Ireland and pumped like any liquid screed, it keeps a cement binder throughout — so it gets on with tile adhesives, epoxy coatings and whatever wet trades follow.
Each pour carries Cemfloor's own product warranty on top of our workmanship guarantee, which is why a growing number of Exeter specifiers name it on the drawings.
Build-ups where it earns its place
- Underfloor heating over suspended timber or PIR, where you want low cover and fast heat transfer.
- Wet rooms, kitchens and basements — places a gypsum floor would be a liability.
- Commercial slabs with SR1 written into the tiling spec.
- Renovations where sand and cement simply won't dry inside the programme.
- Large-format porcelain or LVT laid without an extra latex layer.
Thin over the pipes
Over wet heating we need just 30mm above the top of the pipe on a bonded build, or 35–40mm unbonded, against 65–75mm for traditional sand and cement. Less mass to warm means a more responsive floor. We confirm the exact figure on survey.
Drying, honestly
Allow roughly a millimetre a day for the first 40mm, slower beyond that. In normal conditions a 50mm floor is typically under 75% relative humidity inside three weeks. You can walk on it after 24–48 hours, and there's no compulsory laitance sand for most mixes — just the manufacturer-approved primer per the datasheet.
Choosing between the two
Tiles, water, or heating in the slab? Go cement. A purely dry residential floor under engineered wood where cost per m² leads? The anhydrite liquid screed may be the better fit. Deeper product detail sits on our Cemfloor screed page; prices and survey on screed floor installation in Exeter.
