Foundation Slab
Log House Foundation Slab
First of all, it is necessary to outline the foundation slab edges according to the layout plan included in the project documents. The resultant location of your future house is not chosen by chance. Prior to determining the exact location, measurements are carried out to detect possible pathogenic zones. It is highly recommended to position your house outside these zones as they have an unfavourable effect on the human body.
The actual construction work begins in this phase. The concrete used for the casting of the foundation slab should be at least B20 - B25, with emphasis on its compaction. Continuous footings under the future bearing walls are dug out, earthing is installed along with underground service mains, and grooves are subsequently filled with concrete. Macadam should be used as the underlying layer of the foundation slab (i.e. a compact even layer of 0/63 fraction gravel aggregate). The outline of the slab is partially filled with concrete and a flat layer is created. After drying out, the layer is covered with special insulation, i.e. with a ROOFTEK PRO ALU MINERAL anti radon layer and Glastek 40 Mineral hydro insulation on top. Then Styrodur hardened polystyrene insulation boards are placed on the flat surface. This layer serves as integrated thermal insulation increasing the comfort of the future house. The boards are placed in the area of the future rooms but not under the future bearing walls (Figure 2). After the insulation is covered with a reinforcement layer, the slab is cast with concrete up to its designated height. A technological interruption from 3 to 4 weeks is necessary to allow the concrete to harden to the required strength.
The construction of the foundation slab should be of high quality as it ensures the stability and support of the whole house.
