Liquid Screed for Tanked Basements

Basements are wet-room chemistry. Cement-based screed only — anhydrite is off the table.

Basement build-ups use a Type C cavity drain membrane with a sump-and-pump. Screed goes on top of the studded membrane, usually with wet UFH.

The chemistry has to be cement-based (Cemfloor) — anhydrite can't handle the residual moisture risk.

Basement screed build-up

  • Type C studded membrane with drainage channel
  • 100mm PIR insulation over the studs
  • UFH manifold sited above finished slab
  • 50–60mm Cemfloor over pipe
