We started to renovate our 200+ year old stone cottage nearly six years ago. Complete roof replaced so it's dry inside. Excavated the floor out inside down about 300mm to install a solid, insulated UFH system with ASHP. The project stalled due to Covid and the PIR boards have been in storage for 18 months. The intention is to construct a ground floor consisting of: base rock, about 20-50mm blinding, DPM, 100mm C20 concrete, vapour barrier, 100mm PIR, second vapour barrier, UFH pipes stapled through patches into PIR, 50mm pumped screed, quarry tlies.
We are currently putting the DPM down, concrete pour will be in about a month from now.
However, we uncovered the Celotex GA4100 and every sheet has bowed/curled up by 10-20mm, all in the same direction. Can we slice them into strips and foam gun together flat or do we scrap them and buy new, if so which ones won't curl up?
Has anyone had to deal with this before?
Has anyone had this happen after the floor was laid? The thought of the screed lifting up by 20mm is a bit scary.
Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks,
Stuart.
