Slab Insulation, UFH and Mesh
Here's our floor construction. I'd appreciate any opinions on it and in particular on a couple of details currently in decision limbo:
1) I'd assumed the DPM would go as pictured in this diagram - under the insulation - as it seems to make sense to have it contained within the waterproof envelope. A couple of people have suggested that the membrane goes OVER the insulation though.
2) slab reinforcement & UFH... am I overkilling by adding reinforcement mesh mainly to g
Just to mention an alternative option for fixing UFH.
On mine UFH clip rails fitted to EPS, pipes into clip rails, mesh over the top.
I'm having a heart attack with every hole drilled into the slab (mostly to bolt down sole plates), so am grateful of having the pipe generally 75mm deep into the concrete.
Pipe was also protected by the mesh while being walked over during the pour.
