Screed height?

[lj329]

Hi All

Just had the shell of the extension built and I am thinking about the next phases.

I have no idea of screeding in terms of how much it costs or what is involved, but as you can see from the photo it looks like I have a lot of height to make up.

The concrete base of the extension was laid to the same level as the old garage floor, which now looks like it is far too low?

Any advice would be great?

Doesn't look too low to me.

By the time you get your 100 Kingspan down, you'll be lucky to get an 80mm screed.

You might have to do what I've just done and invested in 40 bags of Trueflow which can go down a =<50mm.

depends on whether the insulation is below the concrete...

Hi

Thanks

There is no insulation in old garage part (which will now be a room), but there is in the extension which joins onto the old garage.

The other thing I am not sure of is that the bottom of the external door openings in the room are only a brick high - which means I am limited to how much screed I can put down ??

If it's now going to be a room, insulation must now be considered!
