The presentation looks at the principles behind designing systems that make use of screeds. Primarily this looks at underfloor heating and acoustics in buildings, with a very brief look at three other interesting construction products that make use of screeds.

The outline is:

Under floor heating

• How heat works
• How screeds work with underfloor heating systems
• Design of UFH Systems

Acoustics in buildings

• How sound travels in buildings
• The requirements
• Critical points of detailing

Interesting possibilities

• Profiled steel decks
• PIPC Planks
• Pumped insulation

Environmental considerations
