level surface to build upon.
6. The inner leaf of the cavity wall is

deep and compacted to form the base of the slab.
8. A blinding screed of sand is laid
over the hardcore to prevent any sharp stones puncturing the damp proof
membrane.
9. A visquen damp proof membrane is laid
over the sand blinding and lapped onto the inner leaf of
brickwork.
10. Optional floor insulation may be
installed at this stage.
11. Concrete 100mm thick is laid to
bring the slab up to the finished floor level.

level surface, suitable for tiling. Usually if you wish to lay a carpet
then a screeded floor finish or self levelling compound is added to the
floor after the conservatory is erected.
