Morning all sorry if it is a little long i have been lurking for a couple of weeks and have come to the point to crack on as i have all the materials etc it is just one bit bothering me, Big Thanks In Advance.

My dilemma is the 4x2 sub frame i am going to put down on the concrete slab, Do i secure it to the concrete with rawl plugs and brackets and cover with mastic where i have penetrated the blue membrane or do i pack under timber and secure with gripfill as suggested in a post on here?.

MY construction of the sub floor is below after removing the 22mm chipboard on top of 100mm insulation.

4x2 C16 Timber spaced at 300mm with insulation recut and reseated in between timber
Topped with 18mm WBP Ply and secured at 150mm centres
Finished with 6mm no more ply ready for a pro tiler

Just wondering how you would want the floor if you was going to do it. Thanks Again Tom
