Floor Insulation - Creating an Energy Saving Home

Good news! There is an update about our project ~ building our family dream house.

Today the troop from the company A & D Estrichbau arrived at around 11:15 am. They delivered our floor insulation materials and installed it as well. They finished their job at around 7 pm. Here are some chosen pictures of during and after installation.

Basically at the ground floor and second floor, they first installed the insulation board Xtratherm Thin-R Underfloor. Then they used the Isoperl® - Dustex® (This is a grained, heat and sound insulating levelling bulk on a perlite-basis under screeds), to level all the parts where pipes were installed. After that, they place the second layer of the insulation board and lastly they put the Damp Proof Membrane.

At the basement, they do the same row of the job, except that they first installed a seal foil before putting the first layer of the insulation board. The seal foil works as an optimal protection against rising damp.
