flanagaj Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago I want to simplify the installation of the Radon membrane and if I can do the below, eg run the lower DPC under the inner leaf and across the cavity and then up the inner face of the outer leaf. If I can go with this approach, it completely negates me having to use pre formed door openings OR having to try and bodge it together. The only required detailing will be the 4 corners. The standard Visqueen detailing is shown below, but if you go with this approach, then you have to mess around at door openings. I just want to avoid as many taped joints as possible.
Mr Punter Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Why have you lapped it up the brickwork? Just leave it flat.
Russell griffiths Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago As @Mr Punter said lay it across the full width and build up from that. if you had of brought your concrete up higher you could have just laid it flat across that.

JohnMo Posted 26 minutes ago Posted 26 minutes ago Your white blocks make a nice cold bridge. Just replace with thermolite or similar and it's gone.
