Frogslegs Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 In the u.k. I believe we use hogging to raise the floor level before concreting! What material do the french use? I have been told that grade 006 sable is used! Is this so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chippiepat Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Depends how much you have to raise it by? If you are just talking about a sub base 100mm--150mm then any good clean well broken & compacted hardcore will suffice,blinded with sand & laid over with d.p.m. before concreting.If you have a local quarry near you they do what is the equivalent of english type one,( sort of scalpings )ideal & only about 8-9e a ton.If you are talking about raising the floor 18" or more you may be better with a precast concrete beam & block construction or suspended timber floor.
