Hi guys
Start of next year i will be putting in my finished floor in our new extension, as it stand we got it water tight late last night with the glazing.
We have our sub concrete floor in, and there will be a 1200g dpm, then 100mm insulation, then another dpm and finally 65-70mm screed. Size is 4m x 4m
Couple questions i have is, i plan to screed myself with help, sand and cement based. How long at best do you think before it could be tiled? I have seen it can be months. I have a mixer already so no hire cost.
Other option is i get someone in to pump it in liquid as this goes off quicker, but i have been stung badly by traders so having trust issues that they will get it level.
Im thinking its my own house i do take more pride, but do i let this one go or not.
Also, the sub floor is damp because the skylight was only fitted this week, so do i need the concrete to dry out or will i be safe to asume dpm will hold up.
Thanks for the help!
