concrete-construction-building-resources

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 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 get a final plan.
But I guess that’s familiar to those who have done these things before us

Besides many thing, one of our worries was finding expertise information on appropriate isolated 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 superior gypsum, and is applied in no time. 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 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 cool. It can furthermore be cleaned well once treated with a coating, and anhydrite is know to have a high isolation value.

I found 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 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 told that the people over there “have a brick in their stomac”

Wheather your are hunting for solutions for your wooden 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 should have a look at the babelfish translation of above hyperlink.
I wasn’t aware, 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 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 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…

Check out practical advice about suspended ceiling - read the web site. The times have come when proper info is truly only one click of your mouse, use this opportunity.
