Regarding basement expansion and the floor slab, initial questions and uncertainties have arisen with our single-family house. Has anyone of you already had experience with a wooden basement ceiling (floor slab)? A little more precisely The basement envelope is made of concrete elements. The interior basement walls are to be made of wood system elements. The basement ceiling (floor slab) is also to be constructed from a wooden structure. Since we have never heard of such a combination and found nothing on the internet, we are quite unsure if this is good?!? Does anyone perhaps also have such a basement construction?:confused:

Hello. Wood is a very good building material, but not necessarily in the basement. In your place, I would rather construct the basement and floor slab out of concrete.

Hello everyone,

One must consider the dangers/attacks to which the wooden components of this cellar "configuration" are exposed: cellar interior walls? No water, no earth pressure - if everything is done correctly, i.e., if the cellar floor slab is sealed, nothing happens here that would oppose the use of wood.

With the cellar ceiling (not "floor slab," a floor slab lies on the ground), there are even fewer danger points. No direct contact with water from outside, certainly not from below.

If everything is done correctly, nothing stands in the way of this cellar construction method.
The uncertainty lies in assuming faulty sealing of the cellar floor slab; if water passes through here, dealing with wooden walls is more challenging in terms of the impact on the building material than with interior walls made of concrete or masonry. But that would then be a major construction defect of the building company; that has nothing to do with the building material wood. A damp cellar always causes difficulties and costs - and is always based on execution and/or planning defects, regardless of the building material.
