strip foundation or concrete slab?

Depending on several circumstances both might be advisable.

However, for a well insulated building you need to insulate the slab as well. Here we show how a concrete slab is done in one go in Germany.

Fill up the site completely with sand inside the whole perimeter


Compact it very well


Do not forget the trenches for your ducting and piping


Start laying out the shuttering boards along the perimeter


Best to use high density Insulation boards, the perimeter is now laid out clearly


Cover the remaining surface with plain boards


Fixig pipes for floor heating/cooling is easily made with brackets stuck into the boards


Do not forget to put the dashboard onto the right place


The concrete-mixer with an extension can easily cover the whole ground, so a pump is not needed.


If you use steel fibre concrete, a steel mesh is not needed


Make it plain and very smooth


The more even the surface is, the faster the Styro Stone walls are set afterwards
