    Going pouring floor of a new build soon.

    using 150mm insulation with damp proof membrane underneath, also using vertical upstands 25mm insulation around the perimeter of the floor.

    if my damp proof membrane runs under my floor insulation and up over the blockwork, how will i secure the 150mm x 25mm upstands to keep them vertical and tight against the dpm and wall, before i pour my 150mm floor slab ?? :confused:

    Assuming your cutting the upstands from a full sheet of 8 x 4. Just position them around the Walls and use blocks where they join to keep them in place. Then as you pour the Cement against the up stands just remove the Blocks as you go. Back Filling with Cement. Job done.

    No i'll be getting the 150mm high x 25mm thick strips of perimeter imsulation think they are a meter long strips. Surely some kind of way to secure these and the dpm to the wall.
    Thats good idea alright put a block at the joints
