Damp proof membrane - condensation?
Options

Posts: 1,040 Forumite
Hi I am raising the floor in my dining room and about 1/3 of the way through. I have put a damp proof membrane (DPM) ontop of the original concrete floor and am laying beams ontop of this.
I have noticed that alongside the edge beam there has appeared condensation on the DPM against the wood. Is this normal? The wood had been in the room about one week before I have started using it.
Thanks for any advice

If so no extra to the one installed in the brick work already"Those who try to make sense of the world are divided into four categories: scientists, theologians, philosophers, and fools.

If it's on the top I wouldn't worry, it maybe the wood just needs to dry out more. Was it pre treated with anything?0
