I've just had my BCO around for an inspection prior to my slab pour. All very friendly. I've foil taped the seams on my PIR so that I don't get any concrete seeping and cold-bridging. Previously I've laid a second layer of DPM to achieve the same.
He said you shouldn't really let concrete come in direct contact with the foil, but he was fine with it, inspection passed.
I don't like to unnecessarily elongate conversations with my BCO's, so I left it at that. Has anyone heard of this before? It he misinterpreting guidance based on people pouring a slab directly on top of PIR without taping the seams, and therefore creating cold bridging?
Thanks
