Here’s why this pairing is the go-to choice for high-performance floors in new homes across Ireland:

✅ Superior Thermal Performance – baseTherm® fills every gap with a seamless thermal layer that reduces heat loss and eliminates cold spots, improving airtightness and reducing thermal bridging – a key factor in achieving BER A-rated homes in Ireland and in meeting Part L and NZEB standards.

Adhering to current guidelines for the Republic of Ireland, baseTherm® can achieve U-Values of 0.15W/m2K or better, meeting and exceeding current building regulations for energy efficiency.  This ensures superior thermal performance, reduced heat loss, and improved comfort within your home or building, even when renovating.

✅ baseTherm® exceeds current building regulations standards for energy efficiency. The declared thermal resistance (R-value) is calculated to IS EN ISO 6946 and IS EN ISO 13370. The value of the declared installed thermal resistance shall be rounded down to the nearest 0,05m2K/W.

✅ Optimised for Underfloor Heating – Fast Floor Screed Ltd provides a high-quality flowing screed that bonds beautifully with baseTherm® insulation for floors and efficiently transfers heat from UFH systems. The result? Faster warm-up times and even comfortable heat throughout your home.

✅ Faster, Cleaner Install – Both products are poured on site using Mobile Factories; thus, you only produce what is needed — speeding up the floor build-up while reducing labour and installation time. Ideal for tight timelines, follow-on trades and unpredictable Irish weather.

✅ Greener Than Traditional Screeds 🌱 – Fast Floor Screed Ltd uses alpha hemihydrate screed, which has a significantly lower carbon footprint than cement-based alternatives. It requires less water, no site mixing, and produces less waste — making it a more sustainable choice for eco-conscious builds.

✅ Built for Comfort & Cost Savings – Less heat loss means lower heating bills and a home that feels warmer with less energy input. A better floor isn’t just a luxury — it’s an energy-efficient strategy that pays off for years to come.

✅ One Team – We work together to install your Liquid Insulation and follow-on Alpha Liquid Screed – leaving super-flat floors ready to walk on for follow-on trades.
