Caroline Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Hello We are building a new single storey property with attached garage. The house is block and beam and so is the garage. The garage is having A142 mesh over B&B slurry then concrete poured for the garage floor. The rest of the house will have above the B&B slurrey, radon dpm, insulation, UFH and screed over. We can't seem to see that the engineer has requested a dpm to be laid below the mesh and the builder says if dpm is below the concrete being poured over the mesh it won't adhere. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you.
nod Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Several tones of concrete doesn’t need to adhere The weight alone will hold It down Pretty much like the screed in the house Id definitely put it down Chances are your garage will never see a car 🚘 2
Temp Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Normally the mesh is raised up on stand offs so it's in the middle of the concrete. Is that what was specified?
