What do you do at the corners? Surely you would have to cut it in order to bend it down both sides of the corner so there would be no overlap at all.<br />I can't understand why architects show it this way. Even in the case where ground level is a problem I don't see why the dpc in the outer leaf can't be at a higher level than the dpc in the inner leaf. After all there's a cavity between them.paukelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05654809293109076064noreply@blogger.com
