Hello all, I was hoping for some advice!
I have a house with concrete floors, but also have a conservatory, also with concrete floors. There is about 1 foot difference in height between the two floors, i.e. a step!
However, halfway up that step, there is the damp proof membrane for the house, thus the DPM of the conservatory is lower than that of the house. Hopefully the diagram explains it!
My question is that, as I wish to put tiles on the floor in the conservatory with underfloor heating (and some thick insulation...), should I add DPM between the house and the conservatory? The tiles will be touching the house wall (beneath the DPM of the house), thus is there a risk that damp could penetrate into the tiles?
Thanks!
