We will soon be having our sand cement screed laid and it will have UFH within.
We are trying to choose our flooring in advance so that we can get the screed laid to the correct depth, so i have posted some similar follow on questions in the flooring forum. However, I think the first 2 are best placed here....
1) I will be painting "BlackJack" onto the existing (garage) concrete floor and up the walls as far as the existing DPM. The existing DPM in the wall is at the height that we want our FFL so that there is no step between the two rooms. Is it a problem that the screed will not come as high as the old DPM? (Currently, I have a step down of 2 courses of brick.)
2) Should I put the insulation upstands to the height of the desired FFL or to the height of the screed?
