Hello Dirk,


That initially depends on your budget and then on the later use of the basement. If it is to be a purely utility basement, you are sinking a lot of money into the ground; if there are difficult soil conditions, even more.

The basements we have built that do not currently house living spaces tend to become storage rooms for this and that over the months/years, items the homeowners cannot part with. If you plan to create a large utility garden – so digging over at Easter and the last harvest of leeks in the frost – you will need storage options for the various fruits of the garden. Early potatoes, celery, carrots & co. want to be stored ;)


I looked at the page and – honestly? The purpose of this floor slab is not really clear to me. Overall, it is thinner, the underfloor heating is laid directly into the slab; if I’m not mistaken, the subgrade also has to be done differently. All in all an expensive matter – for what?

I am not a fan of insulation below the floor slab because no one can say what the weight of the house does to the insulation; obviously – no one has ever dug it up yet either. Presumably it looks good on paper for calculation purposes.

For years we have been pouring at least 25 cm floor slabs on gravel and foil, then the "normal" build-up follows. It is also not clear to me why to install underfloor heating in the basement if these rooms are not to be used as living space; disregarding for a moment the necessary insulation of the heating circuit.

Thank you building expert.

What does a complete base slab plus 200mm insulation plus underfloor heating plus screed roughly cost? I could imagine that it wouldn’t be more expensive than building "normally". And it should only take 3 days... They mention approved insulation. Until it is approved in Germany, shouldn’t it work as well?

Hello YPG. Sorry, I thought it should be clear what I mean. I’m not allowed to send a link, but just google Futura Fundamente ;)

Thanks for your effort :)))

Regards
DirkB

Hello Dirk,


I have no idea what the Futura costs; for the reasons stated, I have never dealt with it.

Rhenish greetings
