Hello all,
I'm currently building and am waiting to put floor screed in on the bottom floor. I have aproblem in that the front door is currently only 4.5 inches off the finished raft floor. The installers are able to left the door anothe half inch which will give me 5 inches in total. I have been led to believe that ideally I should have 2 inch insulation and 3 inch screed. I can't have that as I would have no space left for my finished floor. I am thinking about going with 30mm or 35mm kingspan with a 3 inch screed. It should leave me with enough space for a tile. What I would like to know is if 30mm insulation would be ok as I don't have enough space for the 2 inch insultion.
While I am at it - I may as well get another problem off my chest. I have a leak in a bedroom wall underneath a window. We thought the problem was sorted when we patched up the corner of the window on teh external wall. Plenty of rain since ans all was well. Had a look at the wall yesterday afet the heavy rain on Saturday and the wall and floor has a massive damp patch. Total heatbreaker. Any ideas anyone?? The internal wall is plastered and I'll be annoyed if I have to rip the plaster and dry ling down again.
Thanks in advance
