I'm considering a replacement floor, mainly to get some insulation and a dpm
under my feet, but my query is about the layering. I've got a picture forming in my mind like one of those geological sedimentary layer diagrams. It seems straightforward to have (from top down) floor finish screed insulation DPM structural slab But whereabout would one put the various services? i.e. soil, power, ch, dhw, phone cables etc. floor finish screed + power, ch, dhw, mains water, cables etc. insulation DPM structural slab + soil (as in 110mm stuff not earth) And if there were UFH in the screed layer, should there be minimum separation between that and cabling? I'm sure there's a convention, although Chudley&Greeno don't shed any light, & not much in my building regs guide. Toby. |
