In a situation where a floor is made up as follows:
- 75mm screed with UFH
- 100mm PIR
- 100mm Concrete
- 50mm sand
- 100mm Hardcore
During construction you'd pour the slab at the start of the build, and then fit PIR and screed layers after the roof is on. I often see people questioning how they stop their concrete base turning into a swimming pool due to the position of the DPM lapping up the sides of the walls.
I'm happy to bilge/bail/syphon or whatever, but my question is: Is it advisable to let the slab dry out before covering with PIR, or is that irrelevant?
Thanks
