Smarter Floors, Warmer Homes: What’s Next for Insulation & Screed in 2026 The demand for effective thermal insulation beneath screed floors in the UK is steadily growing. This increase is driven largely by evolving building regulations aimed at improving energy efficiency, alongside broader societal efforts to reduce carbon emissions and boost comfort in both residential and commercial properties. Industry experts predict that as new materials and installation methods become more widely adopted, this trend will shape how flooring is specified and installed through 2026 and beyond.

Meeting the 2025 Future Homes Standard with Smarter Flooring Solutions The Future Homes Standard (FHS) is set to be fully enforced from January 2028, following a legislative process that begins in late 2025. The regulations will be published in late 2025, and after a transition period, all new homes built from January 2028 will be required to comply with the new standard. As the UK government prepares to introduce the Future Homes Standard (FHS), the construction industry is on the brink of some of its most transformative changes in recent history. Designed to drastically reduce carbon emissions from new homes by 75-80% compared to current regulations, the FHS is an ambitious initiative aimed at future-proofing housing by significantly boosting energy efficiency and mandating low-carbon heating solutions. For those involved in building design and construction, including specialist services like floor screeding, this shift presents both challenges and considerable opportunities.

Building Regulation Changes Regarding Insulation in Roofs: Why Clockwork Screed's Poured Insulation is an Ideal Choice

When it comes to building or renovating a property, one of the most important considerations is insulation. Effective insulation can make a significant difference in energy efficiency, comfort, and the overall cost of maintaining a building. Here’s why poured insulation, such as the solutions offered by Clockwork Screed, is a smart choice for property owners, builders, and contractors. Poured insulation is a liquid material that is poured directly onto the subfloor to create a continuous thermal layer. Unlike traditional insulation boards, which can be cumbersome to install and often leave gaps, poured insulation fills every space evenly, ensuring there are no cold spots or areas where heat can escape. One of the primary advantages of poured insulation is its ability to enhance energy efficiency. By providing a seamless thermal barrier, it helps retain heat in the winter and keeps the building cool in the summer. This means that heating and cooling systems don’t have to work as hard, resulting in lower energy bills and reduced energy consumption.

Underfloor heating is known for its efficiency and comfort, making it an excellent choice for care homes, retirement homes, and bungalows.

Climate change is no longer a distant threat, and its impact is being felt around the world, including the UK. The construction industry, a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and resource consumption, is undergoing a crucial shift towards sustainability.

Screed is a thin layer of material applied to a subfloor to create a smooth, level surface for the final floor covering, such as tile, carpet, or hardwood. It ensures a uniform base for the flooring material to be installed upon, eliminating any unevenness that could affect performance or aesthetics.
