Hannah82w Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 We've built a timber frame on block work foundation walls with block and beam floor. All our internal walls are either built on lower block work walls (it is single storey and some of the internal walls are load bearing/supporting) or directly onto the block and beam floor as we don't intend to change the layout. The section and foundation plan drawings show an insulation upstand around the external walls but do you normally also run this around the internal walls of each room as well? Or should we because of the internal walls being directly on block work or B&B floor? Does the upstand also double up as the expansion joint for the screed, or is that something else entirely?! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! We ran ours around the internal panels. I also filled in the voids. No the upstand doesn’t double up as the expansion joint as it’s too rigid. We fitted a foam strip around the perimeter and the around the panels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
