Yes it’s curled behind the up stand In any case it’s all below dpc There will be an apron of dpc around the perimeter taped to the high load damp course Then two more membranes No chance of anything coming through 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceverge Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 @nod What's taking the weight of the door? Is it resting on the outer leaf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @nod was referring to the instance that we see before us, and in that scenario most prefer to go out as far as is practicable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most brick & block layers like to string the line through an block through, the same way TF co's and chippy's will leave footers of stud frames fly through the bottoms of each doorway, and then cut them out retrospectively. Pennies in the grand scheme, but pays dividends in getting stuff nice and straight / plumb etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Jones Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 this is how im doing ours to climate the massive cold bridging issue, albeit with permiter upstand as well. Using marmox as the outer skin as they wont be seen (level threshold). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
