Ground floors are quite inexpensive, and yet they can only be used on dry soils. They are convenient to use in basements or utility rooms..
On the finished base, the columns of their bricks are mounted, at a distance of a meter from each other.
A floor with a soil base can even be insulated. To begin with, prepare a compacted base of sand up to thirty centimeters. Plates of dense insulating material are laid out on a sandy base. In the process, they are connected with tape. A concrete screed is poured over the slabs, on which, as a result, any floor covering is laid. By the way, now often steps for stairs can be bought on the Internet.
On several problematic subsidence soils, the most reliable foundation should be arranged from rigid monolithic reinforced concrete slabs, which are laid under the entire area of the house. First, you need to dig a pit, carefully tamp the bottom and make a pillow from a certain layer of gravel and sand.
A good waterproofing material is laid on top, then poured with a thin layer of concrete. Then reinforcement is laid on it and concrete is poured into the pit. On the finished slab, the monolithic strip foundation is matted. In the future, this foundation slab will become the basement floor..
Then the flooring is done with a cement screed, ceramic tiles, linoleum, as well as board or parquet flooring laid on logs.
