Timber floor finish and timber fillets treatment

Timber floor finishes laid on concrete may incorporate a DPM. Timber fillets used as fixings in concrete must be treated with effective preservative unless located above the DPM.

A timber floor finish laid directly on concrete may be bedded in a material which may also serve as a DPM. Timber fillets laid in the concrete as a fixing for a floor finish should be treated with an effective preservative unless they are above the DPM. Some preservative treatments are described in BS 1282.
