Floor screed, insulation issue
hi all,
I've potentially made a bit of a mistake.
I've screeded my floor throughout the downstairs of my house, and added underfloor etc.
I've put in edge insulation all the way around the building perimeter, in order to minimise thermal bridges.
So, here's the issue. I've put in 2" insulation around the edges, instead of one. As that is what I had going at the time. However, this is fine in the kitchen as I'm tiling the floor. But In the living room were having carpet. Thus potentially causing an issue with the gripper rods?
Should I:
A) slice down the edge of the insulation and pour in concrete. So the gripper rods have a good fixing?
B) leave it? (Is there a sensible gluing method the carpet fitters can do)

Having thought about it for a while, there must be a way in which the carpet fitters know how to deal with it? Because I've seen the same method done a few times, only with 1" insulation instead of 2"

TYIA
Regards,
Sam

Hi and welcome to Diy Not - I would think B) would be OK as they have spray glue that is almost instant, like the old Evo Stik contact adhesive. That and the grippers set back, or maybe 2 sets of them one behind the other will hold all down well. Just what I've observed when I've had work done. I think I'm Vinndicated in saying this ;)
 
Smashing that! Thankyou! Just piece of mind before I get a carpet fitter here and look like a wolly lol
