Wood Joists On Concrete Slab at Julian Eltham blog

Wood Joists On Concrete Slab. There's something inherently strange about laying wood floors over concrete. The question at hand is how to fasten the floor joists to the slab. Xps has enough compression strength to support the floor, which would be floating. The xps will be a barrier against moisture from the slab and would also stop thermal bridging to the slab. I would simply put down a 2 inch thick layer of xps on the concrete and use 2x4 sleepers on top of this. You want to have a grid of joists and wood that extends from every edge of the floor inward once you’re done. Building a framed wood floor over an existing concrete slab can provide the space needed for electric wiring, heat venting, plumbing drain lines and added insulation when remodeling a basement or garage space. Once you’ve laid out the framework, you are going to need to install. When it comes to building a raised floor over a concrete slab, one of the most critical steps is ensuring the concrete surface is clean and level. Then 2×4’s standing up at. When it comes to solid wood, both strip and plank flooring are acceptable as long as they are in good condition. After all, water and wood don't mix, and one of concrete's talents is absorbing and holding water. Start with 2×4’s laid flat, with a bead of pl, and ramset every 36″ to the slab.
