External doorway detail

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any photos or diagrams of the floor build up detail in external door openings please for a traditional block and stone construction? Just wondering whether the insulation and screed runs right to the cill on the external leaf (with a DPM in between) or whether the inner leaf is built up to floor level? The builder that constructed my shell has left one opening built up and two open to the external cill. He is no longer working on the project.

 

Thanks

Here's mine, door set 50mm low into outside skin to give level threshold. FFL is top of hardwood cill/ top of DPM under sole plate.

 

Inner skin stops at sub floor level and DPM into reveal.

 

Mine might not be normal (no cavity) and with benefit of hindsight I would have left the inner skin out and poured the floor into the reveal, just incase floor slab/footing move and create a stress point, but the insulation should accommodate it.
