Installing DPM Over Beam & Block Floor

[benben5555]

The timber framers installed a 300mm wide DPC on top of all of the blockwork before installing the timber frame. So we now have an exposed BB floor with strips of DPC hanging down, I assume this is standard practice (if not, too late!).

 

What is the best way to install the DPM. I'm thinking folding into the corners and up the wall and then taping to the DPC under the timber frame. Although I can feel this is going to be a complete pain in the backside! Any tips on how to do a good job and maintain airtightness.

 

Thanks

Good photos. What has been done here? Have you laid a strip of DPM under the DPC and onto the floor, taped that, and then cut flat 'room shaped' sheets of DPM and taped that down?

Yes we ran a 600 strip around the perimeter and taped it to the high load dpc and rapped and taped all the corners 

Then ran a membrane wall to wall taping down 150 insulation Then a slip membrane Then a 100x25 mil upstand around the perimeter 

Then simply clipped the UFH pipe down
