Thermal insulation of the floor with expanded clay
The technology of floor insulation with expanded clay is as follows. The prepared concrete basement of the basement floor is covered with polyethylene film and metal profiles are erected. The received cells are filled with a heater. Then the concrete is poured into which reinforcing mesh is reinforced to reinforce it.
The resulting layer - expanded clay aggregate is left to dry completely. Having typed strength, a cement screed is produced on the concrete layer. It can be a self-leveling or self-leveling screed. Such a screed design can be considered an ideal variant of the basement basement and subsequent decorative finishing. As a decorative finish you can use a floor tile.
