new concrete floor
I am planning to have the ground floor of a small terraced house
(about 100 years old) dug out and replaced by a concrete slab (with dpm and insulation). One builder has suggested that instead of a screed finish he could put a 25mm layer of insulation on top of the concrete and then put a floating chipboard floor on top of this. He reckons this could be done immediately after the concrete has been laid, but I am concerned because I cannot see how the concrete would be able to dry out. Can anyone give me any advice on this? Many thanks. |
