When it comes to foundation, without exception, have at least a distant view of the construction site, pointedly are assessing that it will take a third of the construction budget, as well as a large number of material. However, times are changing, the place of the centuries-tested strip foundation come more modern solutions.
UWB - is a combined foundationWhich is a union of several ideas. It is based on reinforced concrete monolith, but not simple.
If not difficult, villageleave the unit Like and subscribe to the channel "bath | From A to Z"! Thanks for the support!
Before pouring the slab produced classical dumping sand bags, which before that waterproofing of the ground. Between the concrete layer and the cushion plate stacked insulation, usually of extruded polystyrene, whose hardness to withstand the large load.
Communications and floor heating are installed directly into the tie, and on top of them in the special holders highway runs underfloor heating.
The result is a lasting and not very thick base, which guaranteed protection from freezing. plate on top can be without fear to build the walls of almost any material, be it bar, frame, or aerated concrete.
Thanks to the combined structure is not necessary in the organization of the ground floor. If the standard foundations need separate construction roughing, then finishing and floor, the UWB is a ready foundation for flooring.
Bath is mostly made of light materials: timber, logs, covered the carcass. Large slab thickness is not necessary, but will save significant. Especially for such cases builders from Sweden at the time provided the option of a thin plate.
its thickness may be as little as 10 - 15 cm. Since such a parameter is not enough to route communications, they are transported down into the layer of sand cushion. Top withdrawn only nozzles and throat.
Unlike bath house is a monumental structure. weight of the structure requires a massive foundation. Here, the thickness of the cast concrete is 30 - 40 cm, and the reinforcement is to go at least two layers.
However, the technology of this did not suffer. Laying of water pipes and sewage systems in the thickness of the monolith to preserve the meaning of the Swedish design. In addition, due to the contour of a warm floor as early as the foundation of the home can significantly save on heating.
Thus, the Swedish stove with insulation suitable for most types of soil, including those with high levels of groundwater as a technological foundations under the bath and home.
