With with a floating floor, I'm told by many that there's absolutely no requirement for screed.

UFH is good when you are well insulated from below and are warming a large slab of screed to work as a thermal store at low heat, it is good, I have two rooms where I have it.
I haven't used this stuff but it will add a significant depth to your existing floors, this will have to go all through the house or you will have steps to trip up and down. Self-leveling compound isn't really self-leveling, you will have to get someone in to do it properly it has to be levelled properly using a float, it is expensive to buy and to level.
To fit this stuff properly you will have to take off all your skirting boards and architrave and refit all of your doors. there is not much of a thermal store in a few cm's of compound so in effect you will be using it like a radiator in any case. To fit a wet central heating system a plumber will be in and out in a couple of days, job done, nice and toasty!
