Are you also thinking about how to realize the basement of the family house? Did you know that choosing the right basement design will increase the value of your home? We have decided to briefly introduce this possibility of realization, since you can wall the basement with concrete DT blocks or you can opt for a monolithic construction. It is more difficult to implement, mostly it is not possible on your own, but the strength and speed of implementation of<\/strong> such a construction says it all. Another advantage is the resistance of the construction to water pressure. It is the best solution to prevent damage to the waterproofing, as the waterproofing concrete will prevent water from entering the structure. What looks simple at first glance is not. When deciding to implement a basement with such a construction, it is necessary to know many contexts and also that for a monolith you need wall formwork, which you need to rent from a specialized company. It is therefore advisable to have the implementation of the walls carried out by a qualified company. <\/p>\n

Placing the bitumen sheet in the base plate<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A white bathtub starts with the baseboard. The term bathtub did not come about by accident and means that the base plate and walls are waterproof. The most challenging and important detail is the connection of the wall to the base plate, as the implementation is done in several stages. First the base slab is made and then the walls are formed on top of it. This joint needs to be treated and the implementation is done in several stages. First the base plate is made and then the walls are formworked on top of it. This joint needs to be treated with a bitumen sheet<\/a>, which is fastened against the reinforcement of the base plate with stirrups. This sheet<\/a> serves to resist the water column of the groundwater just at the joint between the base plate and the wall. It is a kind of mechanical barrier, without which, if the plate<\/a> were not there, groundwater would seep into this very joint. <\/p>\n
