Hi

Just a quick question, whats best to use around the perimeter of the slab?

I got 100mm kingspan under slab and ask Trvis perkins for some perimeter insulation and they delivered:
FILLCRETE EXPANSION JOINT FILLABOARD STRIP 12X100X2440

I thought fillaboard was only for expansion joints, is it OK as an insulation around the perimeter?

You need 25mm insulation like kingspan against the block work up to damp level
 
Are you trying to insulate external or internal (abutting) edges?

Thanks for that grahama, I knew fillaboard was wrong, would have been easy though.

pinenot. its internal to stop bridging between slab and inner leaf.

last time we used 25mm polystyrene, I was not sure what the latest requirement was.

25mm kingspan it is then.
