Building new solid floor against wall with suspended wooden floor and airbricks. The top of the airbricks are on a level with the top of the floor slab (which is due to have 70mm screed on top for levelling purposes). The floor slab will be 150mm thick, and is on top of 75mm celotex and hardcore. An air path will be vented through the new cavity wall using periscope ducting. So to join the air bricks via ducting in the new solid floor.
I plan to cast a 2 to 3 inch high duct into the top of the floor slab when it is layed to join the old and new airbricks, then cover this with, say, a paving slabs before the screed goes down. I'll put some metal into the concrete under the duct area since it will only be around 3" thick there. Slab not thick enough to use 4" soil pipe as is commonly done.
Do folks think this this will be OK ? Yes, I'll end up asking the BCO of course.
Only other option is to use a perisope on both ends and duct it much lower down (cut though insulation layer or hardcore layer), but this is a more convoluted air path and does not seem ideal to me.
Thanks, Simon.
