It pains me to say this, but I may have made a minor cock-up.
The sort of thing that for some reason just did not occur to you at the time ;-( When I layed the main concrete floor slab, I had insulation under and around the edge, as you do. The perimeter insulation was cut off level with the concrete slab. When I layed the screed (between 40mm and 70mm), I kind of "forgot" about perimeter insulation and screeded right up to the edge, sort of thinking about a good solid floor to the edges, and fogetting that 25mm insulation would be covered by plasterboard / skirting etc. So I have a 5 inch concrete slab with underneath and perimeter insulation, covered with up to 3" screed touching the inner leaf below DPC (against the lapped DPM). Now, obviously you cannot have perimeter insulation across the doorway, but there is around 15 metres of other wall. Question: Is it worth cutting out a 25mm channel and adding permeter insulation, or is it not worth it now ? Floor will be tiled and no underfloor heating. Simon. |
