concrete-construction-building-news

We have recently constructed a new house, which was a story on it’s own. No need to tell that a decent study is one of the most important phases in the making off, and that my wife and myself have been discussing 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 those who have done these things before us

Among others, one of our concerns was finding expertise information on decent underfloors.

You might want to know that we have choosen for an anhydrite floor for supporting the woorden floor to come on top of it.
It is based on superior 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 have the money to invest in the wooden floor in the first place, you can top the anhydrite with a protective coat. It allows you to delay the wooden floor till an appropriate moment. Postponing severall years is not a problem.
The look of the anhydrite floor by the way, is very nice. It can furthermore be cleaned well once treated with a primer, and anhydrite is know to have a high lambda value.

I found the above referenced site to be very usefull since it contains lots of expertise on this.
Although the particular site is not in English, you can pass it to babelfish, which makes it readable.

Since I haven’t found any English site containing a similar amount of information, and to be honest, since I manage several languages 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 digging 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 info for making the best decisions, you might want to 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 URL. I like pretty much the knowledge on the enumeration of oneliners.

That’s as far as what I found out and decided. My 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 foreign word “chape”, sometimes incorrectly written as “chappe”, stands for underfloor…

Shortcut to pragmatic things to know about suspended ceiling - make sure to study the site. The times have come when proper information is really at your fingertips, use this chance.
