A life-size, cut-through model of the system was on the stand to allow

nominated the Isocrete Green Screeds range to be one of his Green Heroes at the Grand Designs Live show.
The Isocrete Green Screed range consists of screeds that have been given an eco-friendly makeover to remove all Ordinary Portland Cement. 40% of the material is also sourced from recycled construction industry waste and its long life-time removes the need to repair or refurbish the floor, minimising the financial and environmental costs this can incur.
