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
