Hello everyone,
I am curious about your experiences with the different types of basement construction here:
I will list what I know and what - unless I forget something important - should be the most common?
1) formwork basement walls (metal plates are used to build the formwork and then concrete (e.g. WU concrete) is poured in and cured there)
2) the prefabricated basement (prefabricated basement walls are delivered and placed in their respective positions with a crane)
3) what a friend recommended to me: a type of concrete wall formwork (no metal plates that are removed after the concrete hardens), the interiors of which are then filled with concrete.
Since my friend recommended option 3) (supposed to be one of the most cost-effective), I am primarily interested in 3). What is this type of concrete wall formwork called? Do you have any experience with it?
Is it generally sufficient, if you do not use WU concrete, to properly coat the exterior walls with bitumen (which is then called black tank, right) and then glue the EPS board for insulation onto it? Will this provide lifelong peace of mind and is the basement sufficiently sealed?
What is better for exterior insulation? EPS or XPS boards?
Thank you very much for your inspirations and suggestions.
Ann.
