Hi All, I was hoping to run past you all our situation with our first floor 200mm concrete slabs. We are being recommended liquid poured TLA insulation on the floor from our builder mainly due to the slab being at some parts ever so slightly uneven, so the poured insulation will work to level out the floor before the screed goes in place. I have on my notes that the architect mentioned with the 200mm concrete slabs you don't need insulation, just lay the UFH pipes and screed over them - which I may have noted wrongly. What have you done on your upstairs, or from experience what would you recommend for depth of insulation and screed? Thanks and as always, I appreciated everyones feedback. This forum as helped me so much in the last few years from an non-subscriber to now a member. -
Morning everyone Our house build is progressing nicely and we have recently had the ufh installed both downstairs in the traditional way (stapled to insulation, screed on top) and also on the first floor, in 25mm in between batons etc. We then screwed and glued 6mm ply to the batons to protect the screed and provide a sound surface for tiling/flooring. Although the dry screed was swept and hoovered before the ply was laid The problem we are now finding is a 'crunching' noise when you walk around, between the ply and the screed. Has anyone who has used this system experienced similar problems? Does it go in time? I don't want to get to a position of getting carpets etc down and still hearing the annoying crunch. Any advice/experience gratefully received. Many thanks
