concrete-construction-building-tips

We have recently constructed a new house, which was a story on it’s own. No need to tell that the preparation is one of the most important stages in the making off, and that my wife and myself have been dealing all kinds of topics like never before.
We needed several months to agree on all compromises we sometimes had to make.
But I guess that’s familiar to many of you

Among others, one of our worries was locating usefull information on decent supporting floors.

You might want to know that we have retained the option for an anhydrite floor for supporting the woorden floor to come on top of it.
It is based on high-quality gypsum, and is applied very fast. Even no need to touch it further when applying since spirit level is obtained without anything more.

There is one really, really neat thing about that anhydrite floor: if you are like us, and don’t want to invest in the wooden floor in the first place, you can finish the anhydrite with a primer. It allows you to delay the wooden floor untill the time is right. Postponing severall years is not a problem.
The look of the anhydrite floor by the way, is cool. It can further be cleaned well once treated with a primer, and anhydrite is know to have a high isolation value.

I found the above referenced site to be very usefull since it contains lots of info on this.
Although the particular site is in Dutch, you can hand it over for translation to babelfish, which makes it comprehensible.

Since I haven’t found any English site containing a similar amount of information, and to be honest, since I speak besides English Spannish, French, German and Dutch as well, I feel free to also refer to the “ecobouwers” site, rich on similar *and* other topics. It is known to be said that the people over there “have a brick in their stomac”

Wheather your are searching for solutions for your ceramic floor or for solving thermic or acoustic isolation needs (in case of floor heating for instance), or if you are, just like me, in the need for appropriate knowledge for making the best decisions, you could take a look at the babelfish translation of above hyperlink.
I didn’t knew, untill I read all about it, what exists on the market. It was nice to have all interesting information on one and the same location. I like pretty much the knowledge on the summation of what could be responses on a FAQ.

That’s as far as what I found out and decided. Our choices might not be yours, but I hope my sharing with you helps in making your own choises.

Oh, and by the way - one last remark : the Dutch and French word “chape”, sometimes incorrectly written as “chappe”, stands for underfloor…
