Curious about installing floor framing over a concrete slab? In this post, we walk you through laying out anticon beneath your framing for watertightness, ensuring the frame is square to match manufacturing drawings, and securely fixing everything in place according to engineering specifications. Whether you’re building a garden room or any other structure, these steps will help you achieve a solid and level floor frame on a slab-on-ground foundation.
1. Laying Out the Anticon
Placing anticon under the external floor framing is crucial for moisture protection and compliance with engineering details. Make sure you:
2. Ensuring the Floor Frame Is Square
Once the anticon is in place, lay out your floor framing so that:
3. Securing the Frame to the Concrete
The final step is to fix the floor framing to the slab using screw bolts as specified by your engineering drawings. Be sure to:
By following these steps and consulting your engineering documents, you’ll achieve a sturdy, level, and moisture-protected floor frame—ready for the next phase of construction.
