Simonharry Posted May 23 Posted May 23 (edited) Hi all, Hopefully you can guide me here… I’m trying to understand in which order I need to lap my dpm and dpc. We are pouring the slab after the walls have been built so the bricklayer has laid a 600mm dpc on the internal skin which laps down the internal block work. I am now prepping for the concrete slab and am keen to understand if the dpm laps under or over the 600mm dpm? Apologies for the hideous attempt to draw what I think is the order of dpm / dpc’s. Happy to be corrected. Thanks Edited May 23 by Simonharry Picture added 1

Mike Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago Either way is fine - there just needs to be a minimum 100mm overlap. And, in your sketch, it's the 'lower' DMP that's acting as the DPM; the polythene over the top of the insulation is a slip membrane to maintain separation between the insulation and the screed.
