concrete-construction-tips

We have last year constructed a new home, which was a story on it’s own. No need to tell that the preparation is one of the most important phases 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 get a final plan.
But I guess that’s familiar to many of you

Among others, one of our concerns was locating usefull information on state of the art supporting floors.

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 because 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 primer. 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 cool. It can further be cleaned well once treated with a coating, and anhydrite is know to have a high isolation value.

I discovered the above linked site to be very usefull since it contains lots of knowledge on this.
Although the particular site is in Dutch, you can run it through babelfish, which makes it understandable.

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 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 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 info on one and the same website. 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 passing this info serves well 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…

Obtain useful knowledge in the sphere of how to install suspended ceiling - make sure to go through the web site. The time has come when concise information is truly only one click away, use this opportunity.
