June 10Jun 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?
June 11Jun 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.
June 11Jun 11 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 11Jun 11 by Alan Ambrose
June 11Jun 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.
