flanagaj Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Garage floor build up has XPS on top of Radon membrane and below concrete slab. Do I need to put a VCL on top of the XPS as well?
Mr Punter Posted June 10 Posted June 10 What is on top of the XPS? Is the garage heated / "conditioned"?
Russell griffiths Posted June 11 Posted June 11 The top layer does a few things a very important one is stopping runny concrete getting under the sheets and floating it up, which would be a bloody nightmare. for £20 install it. 3
Alan Ambrose Posted June 11 Posted June 11 (edited) We did above and below - XPS is much better than EPS but still absorbs water a bit and thus loses it’s value as thermal insulation. Edited June 11 by Alan Ambrose 1
JohnMo Posted June 11 Posted June 11 VCL goes at the bottom. Between the insulation and concrete you can put a thin polythene layer, as mentioned above to keep concrete out of the insulation, if it gets in your insulation will float up. 1
