I am in the process of renovating a small hairdressing salon. It is having underfloor heating installed, approx 100 metres of pipework over an area of 24 square metres. The existing concrete subfloor will be sheeted with 25mm jablite insulation with the UFH piping clipped onto it. The cement screed will then be laid over the pipework to a total depth of approx 30mm. With 18mm hardwood flooring laid on top of the screed. Everything seems to be straightforward, except for the screed, i would like to mix rapid set cement & sand with a lot of water to create a mix with a fluid consistancy to enable the mix to flow easily and find its own level without much work with a float. question is: Would mixing sand and cement to a very fluid state set well enough to form a level enough surface to lay hardwood flooring onto? Tounge and grooved Glued not nailed! Thanks
