Can you use silica sand as a dry screed over underfloor heating pipes?
Unfortunately not. You require a 0-4mm sharp sand which can be purchased through most builders merchants. The mix should be approximately 1:4 Cement / Sand ratio. Mix to an earthy consistency and compact well. The cement is the conductor of the heat. Good luck with the project.

How do you determine the ratio of water to cement?
Concrete hardens as a result of the chemical reaction between cement and water so that for every 4 lbs of cement 1 lb of water is needed. The ratio is therefore 1:4 or 20%. This mix will be too dry so more water is needed than is technically necessary, the ratio should therefore be 35% to 40% and using a plasticizer

What weighs more wet sand or dry concrete?
Dry concrete weighs more than wet sand because concrete is denser and more compact than sand, even when wet. Concrete is composed of cement, sand, gravel, and water, which results in a heavier material compared to sand alone.

What is the cement to plaster ratio for a brick wall surfaces?
Hi there, I would use a 5-1 ratio of sand to cement and use a good mortar plastisier. Use plastering sand and mix well. Throughly soak the wall first and apply a light coat (scratch coat) Leave this to dry for a while and before it has completely dried, get the final coat on. Too much water on the wall will result poor bond between the Brick masonry and the plaster on account of lack of suction which is the primary mechanism by virtue of which the Cement Plaster will remain in position against the gravitational force.
