In the process of installing a vapor barrier on my extension. I have a horizontal 45*45 and it works on the lowest beam.
The vapor barrier should indeed be folded out onto the floor. And then you place the lowest beam on the plastic. Or should the lowest beam be attached one cm from the slab?

Do you mean the sill with "bottom rule"?Snälla.snickaren said:
In that case, the sill should be placed on a strip of sill insulation, to prevent moisture from being absorbed from the concrete.
The vapor barrier plastic should overlap with the plastic used under the inner floor.
It is folded inward, not out under the wall studs.
45x45 = the secondaries?
The plastic should then be folded out underneath it, and I would either raise it as you said 10 mm or if the sill insulation sticks out, you can place it against that. To be really precise, you should also seal between the plastic and the plate.

I'm expressing myself unclearly.
The frame is on sill insulation. These are the studs for 45 mm insulation that are on the other side of the plastic.
Thank you for the response.
