Eventually all the water that absorbed will be stayed underneath the cement screed. The waterproofing layer underneath the cement screed will prevent the water leak to the concrete slab.

However, if the waterproofing layer has failed, the water will penetrate thru the waterproofing layer and pond at the concrete slab. If the concrete slab is solid and in good condition, the property owner may not experience the water leakage issue.

installed your Aluminium frame yet? If yes please let me know the contact, my new unit will be ready end of this year, another big Reno project will be taking place. Have to start doing homework again.

This time round I may opt for Industrial concept, cement screed flooring, expose conduit pipes for wiring, pairing with rustic furnitures. Due to cost, I decided to go with Reliance Aluminium door instead. Around RM7++ per door + labour for dismantling old door frame.

Before installation,Cement screed: With underfloor heating 1.8 per cent CM; without underfloor heating 2 per cent CM.Anhydride screed: With underfloor heating 0.3 per cent; without underfloor heating 0.5 per cent CM.Before installing laminate over mineral substrate, you must first lay down an appropriate vapour barrier film trough-like (“floating”) to protect against moisture. The sheeting should overlap by at least 20cm and seams should be secured with masking tape.Lay rows in the same direction as the laminate panels.
