Post and beam Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 The wooden workshop/garage that i am having built might one day get used to put a car into, radical i know. Its primary use will be for tinkering about so i will probably insulate under the floor, just like the house. Does anyone know if a 50mm screed onto PIR would support a car? Or do i need more or something different. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Also what about point loads (jacking a car up etc) personally I would want 100mm (but I do tend to over engineer things). Steel or fibres would help I guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Very expensive to do twice. I’d put 100mm down, impregnated with steel fibres. Not a huge difference in cost, but a huge difference for the end result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 For my underground build with parking above this was tricky ( specifically the insulation ) . Think I did 150mm screed with rebar . This sat on vac insulation which in turn sat on 200mm concrete and rebar . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, it will be a very dull new world for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point load will be your issue when the slab becomes a beam and bending occurs. 50mm is very strong however I would go 100mm and then chuck fibres in (steel or fibreglass will do) and it won’t go anywhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
