Brentwood Care Home, Essex
This 4-storey care home in Great Warley, Essex is designed by Harris Irwin Architects and features air source heat pumps and PV panels in line with the end user Care Concern Group's sustainability goals. Our ECO technology was selected as the most suitable screed for the underfloor heating systems, for its reduced thickness and excellent thermal conductivity. Our distribution partner Ready2Pour delivered a perfectly mixed screed, which Cempump installed in record times.
Project Overview
This 4-storey care home in Great Warley, Essex is designed by Harris Irwin Architects. The building features air source heat pumps and PV panels in line with the end user Care Concern Group's sustainability goals. Groundworks are well underway on site, and the project is scheduled to be complete Q4 2026.
The Challenge
For a project of this scope, the screed needed to deliver reduced structural load to improve stability and reduce stress on the slab, insulation and finishes. A quicker system response was also required to enhance thermal efficiency, reduce heat loss, and limit thermal stress on floor finishes — leading to better overall floor performance and durability.
The Solution
Our most versatile screed binder, ECO, was selected as the most suitable screed for the underfloor heating systems, for its reduced thickness and excellent thermal conductivity.
Our distribution partner Ready2Pour delivered a perfectly mixed screed, which Cempump installed in record times.
Outcome
The specification of ECO screed delivers reduced structural load, improving stability and reducing stress on the slab, insulation and finishes. A quicker system response enhances thermal efficiency, reduces heat loss, and limits thermal stress on floor finishes — leading to better overall floor performance and durability.
