Hi All,
I am soon to 're do' my kitchen floor and wanted to run a few things by you.
My kitchen will be having damp proof work done to it soon and will have tanking at the bottom. The kitchen floor has been dug up and it appears as though we have hot soil/screed (doesn't look as though there is any concrete any more.
My plan is to lay a DPM on the concrete which will join with the tanking to form a seal. Insulation boards will then go on the DPM, followed by 2 inches of screed, then electric underfloor heating and finally slate tiles.
e.g.
Tiles
---
Underfloor Heating
---
Screed 2 inches
---
Insulation
---
DPM
---
Concrete - 4 inches
Does this sound ok? Is it ok to lay the DPM on the concrete with insulation boards on top?
I can only raise the floor by approx 6/7inches due to head room.
Would it be better to lay the concrete first then the DPM? Can I put insulation boards on DPM?
Thanks all
