Good evening everyone,
We are in the initial planning stages of our home renovation and would like to install underfloor heating.
We have researched various topics, watched YouTube videos, and compared different manufacturers as thoroughly as possible.
Currently, there is a designer floor installed on the ground floor (no basement). This will be removed since some walls still need to be built. The energy consultant has already visited and, due to the building having no basement, recommended insulating the floor slab to reduce heat loss. We will, of course, follow this advice.
Now we face the decision whether to use a dry screed system, which we could partially install ourselves, or a liquid screed system, which would need to be installed by a professional company.
The ceiling height of 3 meters (10 ft) is sufficient, even with a conventional underfloor heating system that requires about 9 cm (3.5 inches) of buildup.
We currently prefer a dry screed system because it would save us significant costs.
Has anyone had experience with such a system and could share some brief feedback?
We would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance.

Besides, it doesn’t even save you a thousand dollars, because you pay more for the materials and it takes longer. Just figuring out how to lay out the rooms as a novice so that everything fits in the end. Once again: What is the actual saving? How does the specialist dealer get cheaper materials, and then why does every tradesperson still charge you the expensive prices on the invoice? Can you answer questions? Specific question — specific answer.
As a layperson, I don’t consider how to lay out the rooms. There is a layout plan for that — the contractor should have one for a proper underfloor heating design. This applies regardless of who does it.
By the way, you haven’t replied to a single point made by the original poster or asked questions about their statements before responding. So just leave it and go troll somewhere else if you can’t contribute anything useful to a thread.
