Repair Kitchen Screed
- Thread starter astratwo
- Start date
On top of the block and beam should be Dpm of 1200 to 1400 guage,Then should be insulation of minimum 80mm of Kingspan or similar, then a vapour barrier topped off with 75mm screed [ reinforced or not ]dependant upon foot traffic , not quite sure what your describing but it don't sound right.
take up and repair like for like,you cant make 40mm 75mm
Thanks for the reply,didnt see any dpm just block and beam polystyrene and screed,i can send you a pic if you are interested to see it. it looks a mess thoigh where i tried to piece back the styrene,also this is the upstairs of the house not ground floor all rooms are upstairs i think it is known as a flying freehold,ie my house is over my garage and my neighbours either side of me.
Pics would be good Astratwo
40mm isnt enough screed mate
Could i Replace with wood instead of screed, this is the kitchen area so it has gas water and ch pipes laying across the block and beam floor.
