Base floor repair of a Single-family house

This is how the microbially damaged base floor was repaired with ElaProof products.

Als waterdichtings- en afdichtingsproduct heeft het product ElaProof verreweg de hoogste waterdampdoorlaatbaarheid. Daardoor kan het product worden gebruikt in situaties waarin de constructie tijdens het gebruik droog moet zijn. Dit maakt een langdurige werking van de constructie en snelle reparaties mogelijk.

Description

The base floor of the 1940s house was microbially damaged. The floor was taken down and the subfloor was repaired into a modern heat sink. An 8-16 mm capillary garland was installed against the ground. EPS insulation 200 mm was installed on top of it. The seams of the insulation were sealed with Elaproof. The tightness was confirmed by tightness measurement and thermal imaging. There is mechanical ventilation and room heating under the floor of the house. Insulation and Elaproof also acts as a radon barrier.
