Low carbon floor screed for new landmark apartments

JQ Rise is a 24 storey apartment development located in Birmingham’s popular Jewellery Quarter, comprising 226 one, two & three bedroom luxury apartments. Large volumes of floor screed were needed to finish the 21,000m2 of floors, which would require efficient delivery to site and pumping into place on all levels. The developers were keen to optimise efficiency and make the overall development as sustainable as possible while minimising the impact on local people living and working around this city centre site.

Around 1000m3 of TOPFLOW Screed A floor screed was supplied to the site between Q4, 2023 and Q1, 2024. The work was completed efficiently within the build programme and finished to a high standard by UKS the experienced contractor.

Using TOPFLOW Screed A compared to a conventional sand-cement screed saved over 234 tonnes of CO2e for the equivalent volume or 342 tonnes when factoring in the thinner average depth. This amounts to an 85% lower carbon footprint.
