Starter track position on New build EWI

Ak84

I am building extension to my house att the minute. 9 inch block on flat with 200mm Eps external.

I see from Kores website to place starter track 150mm above DPC.

But I don't see why I can't have it at the same level as the DPC, which comes out at FFL.

Any advice?

As it's an extension, are you working off the new-build or retrofit design guide? Is the original house also being wrapped?

The original will be wrapped.

Working. Off new build design

I see from Kores website to place starter track 150mm above DPC.

The "starter track" being the galv steel base rail as identified as item 15 on page 4 of the below?

If so, then I only see this in regards to the DPC and plinth…

…that would imply that the galv steel rail starts at the DPC, no?

Oh, very good 10-10-20.

I don't know what I was looking at now. Must have been a retrofit guide perhaps.

Thank you very much.

Does anyone know where to buy this starter track and glues for the boards?

Am in North Longford.
