NandM Posted February 29, 2024 Posted February 29, 2024 I would like to dig up the hallway floor to lay a new insulated concrete floor, with underfloor heating. The original floor is comprised 70mm screed and unknown depth 1950s concrete slab. Most of the screed has been removed, with the exception of under the stairs and I've chucked down 75mm of our, with osb and lino offcuts to finish off. The gas and electric mains also go under the stairs, with the meters in a under stair store room. If I was to only dig out the area I know has no mains pipes, and then build up a new subfloor: 1) would I get a cold bridge where the old concrete meets the new, probably around 1.5sqm max. 2) if so, how could I insulate between the two? Some sort of upstand and then screed over that?

Please correct me if I'm wrong but what I've read are the upstands for external facing walls OR can they be used for internal walls as well?
