Mulberry View Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago This is the high end of my Car Port, 10° Monopitch roof. The inside is facing brick, 65mm cavity, medium dense concrete blockwork outer leaf. The bevelled wall plate has a DPC under it and is resin-bolted down. I didn't have the foresight to utilise a wide DPC to allow me to use it to close the cavity. The outer leaf is to continue up to the underside of the deck. I'll then attach a circa 100mm deep OSB fascia to the ends of the Posi joists for the single-ply membrane to turn down onto and with ventilation behind it. Is it sufficient to attach a DPC to the inner vertical face of the DPC, then turn it over the cavity, landing on the outer leaf? I wouldn't want to lap it in by more than 20mm or so, because of course the final blocks needs to bond. Any words of advice from the invaluable Buildhub experts?
Mr Punter Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I doubt you need to close the cavity in any case, but I would look at a Rockwool sock compressed between the wall plate and the outer leaf, resting on the wall ties.
