Arrangement Swedish insulated plate (foundation)

An increasing number of builders refuse to strip foundations in favor of warmed Swedish plates because of its energy efficiency.

In short, UWB - monolithic foundation with the substrate of the heat-proof polystyrene with embedded heating pipes in concrete.

This article will explain how to equip Swedish Insulated slab calculation of all necessary materials.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Remove 30-40 cm of topsoil on the site of the future home of + 1 meter on each side from the edge of the future foundation.

2. The recess 15 cm fall asleep clean sand, abundantly shed water and ramming. In the next two days, we repeat the procedure. Total sand layer can not be less than 40 cm.

3. Along the perimeter of the building dig a trench and lay it drain pipe, install a sewer pipe.

4. The ground is laid geotextile. Optimum overlaps strips of 15-20 cm.

5. We control the evenness of all elements of the laser level

6. Laying communications in accordance with the building plan and fasten them to the reinforcement column.

7. We expose the skirting of styrofoam around the perimeter of the building, and fasten them with wooden sticks and boards.

8. Laid on the sand layer 2 to 5 cm each heater (total: 10 cm).

9. The two layers laid fiberglass reinforcement (diameter 10-14 mm) and associate them with plastic clamps.

10. Above the belt reinforcing floor heating pipes are laid.

11. Prepared UWB poured concrete from a concrete pump, concrete layer attain to the level of the whole structure area.

12. The finished design should to stand for at least 10-12 hours.

13. So that the concrete has dried and cured properly, cover it with foil or banner.
