Hello, I’ve just started digging out a concrete floor to replace a worn out slab and was hoping to get a few pointers regarding the install.
30m2 floor area and I’ve planned;
1, Compact the sub-soil 2. 100mm MOT compacted 3. Sand blind and lightly compact 4. 1200 DPM 5. 100mm Eco-Therm insulation and 19mm perimeter insulation
6. 100MM C25 concrete to around Finished floor level.
Access to property is restricted and wheel barrow can’t get through FRont or back door. I’ve spoken to a local concrete company who can supply, pump and level the slab for around £1500.
My main questions are
1. I’ve read that you won’t be able to place laminate flooring or carpet directly on the slab as it’ll be too rough, can anyone suggest the easiest way to get the slab smooth enough?
2. I am planning to support the stairs with some sort of brick or wood pad placed between the stringer ends and the insulation. Can I just leave this in situ and embed it in the slab once poured ?
Any help would be appreciated.
