Damp proof membrane

Mar 03, 2004 1 Replies

"The DPM must be continuous with the DPC in the surrounding walls." This is a retro-fit floor I'm putting in and using visqueen dpm. So my question is how do I achieve the above?



The existing damp proof course in the wall is plastic but there is no lip that the dpm can be attached to? Can I glue the dpm to the wall up to the hight of the damp proof course. If so what could I use ?



Or am I missing the 'proper' way of doing it .



Hope someone can help. Don't want the building officer having a good giggle at my expense.



Cheers
