Hello,
today the vapor barrier was installed on the concrete slab in the basement, followed by styrofoam and the staple board for underfloor heating.
The construction management description states the following:
A vapor barrier membrane against diffusion moisture is installed and welded or glued throughout the entire basement (Manufacturer: KNAUF type Katja or equivalent).
Since the craftsmen behaved completely inappropriately (large scratches in the fresh plaster, door handle torn off, bottles missing, took the pallet with them ...), I felt that I needed to check whether the foil had actually been laid under the styrofoam. So I lifted one board and looked under the styrofoam. The black foil was there, which is the good news. However, it overlaps by about 10 cm, but is not glued or welded, at least not at this spot. The longitudinal seam was glued. Now the question is what to do. Is it bad if the foil overlaps but is not glued? It is certainly not vapor tight this way. Is it worth having everything torn out again because of this? Or is it rather to be considered uncritical?
