Is there a reason why there is a 1"..1.5" gap between the screeded floor and the start of the plaster on the wall?
Is this just a throwback to older building techniques or is there a logical explanation for it.
Two that I've heard of today when I asked a couple of guys at work are:
1. As a barrier to stop "rising damp".
2. To allow the skirting board to sit vertical and "flush" against the plastered wall.
Anyone heard of anything else as a reason for this.
Thanks.
