So this will have to be factored into the cost. The 'workaround' appears to be putting down a protective plywood layer (££££) until we're ready to get the UFH in and screeded. They ideally want the screed down as soon as possible, which is, of course, tricky if UFH is required (it is for us). I've just spoken with Springvale about Beamshield and the standout disadvantage is the vulnerability of the product while completing the onward work. Why buy cold bridging blocks when you can replace it with insulation?! Utter no-brainer with B&B as it is a huge lift in spec / performance and the mechanical handling is vastly minimised.

ICFS - ENERGY EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. Life-cycle assessment Studies indicate that in-use operation, including heating and cooling, account for the majority of a building’s environmental impact over its lifetime (up to 90 per cent).
