Hello!
Renovation of the basement floor is underway and currently, it's stripped down to the slab (non-insulated).
As seen in the picture, sand was previously used for leveling (with foam board, floor chipboard, etc. on top of this). It was also filled with sand under the sill (?) as well. This is against the exterior wall, for clarity.
In due time, a raised floor with plastic screws + steel joists + "suspended insulation" between the joists will be installed, like Nivell/Subfloor.
So to my question; what should I do with the space under the sill, where there was previously sand, if anything needs to be done? To avoid/minimize cold/drafts, etc.
I want to "imitate" the previous construction in a way since the slab is dry and we haven't had any moisture problems. The sill is bone dry, but I can't just put sand back in there (right?
)
Best regards
