7. Hardcore is laid to a minimum 100mm deep and compacted to form the base of the slab.		8. A blinding screed of sand is laid over the hardcore to prevent any sharp stones puncturing the damp proof membrane.


9. A visquen damp proof membrane is laid over the sand blinding and lapped onto the inner leaf of brickwork.		10. Optional floor insulation may be installed at this stage.
