TYPICAL INSTALLATION Concrete Floors Above D.P.C. Level Cover concrete floorslab with a suitable damp proof membrane, ensuring adequate coverage at joints. Membrane should be taken up vertical surfaces to finished screed level. KIMMCO Building Slab is laid directly on top of the damp proof membrane with edges close butted and joints staggered. Edge insulation consisting of strips of insulation not more than 2.5 cm thick cut from standard slab with a width to suit the specified screed thickness should be placed vertifically against the walls, the bottom edge resting on top of the horizontal and...

Solid Wall Construction Insulation can be applied to the back up wall in one of the following manners: A. Batten out surface of wall to suit width of slabs ensuring that KIMMCO Building Slab can be fixed snugly between battens without gaps. Apply a vapour barrier over the KIMMCO Building Slab, fixing it to the battens with staples or flat head nails. Vapour barrier to be applied horizontally with each run overlapping previous by at least 15cm. Fix expanded metal, galvanized chicken mesh or plastic netting over the vapour barrier as a key for the rendering, fixing it into the vertical battens...
