A number of web sites suggest that kickers should not be used. What is recommended is that the floor should be cast first and then the walls cast next, with the junction being at floor level.

Any thoughts on what is current best practice?]]> Kickers or No Kickers https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=13084&Focus=218970#Comment_218970 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=13084&Focus=218970#Comment_218970 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 12:55:45 +0000 ringi
http://www.basementexpert.co.uk/basement%20assistance/index.htm gives a overview of one process.

A lot comes down to how much you are depending on the concrete to stop ALL damp, you can't cast a kicker at the same time as the floor AND compact the concrete VERY well.]]>
