Cellar ceiling insulation

In unheated basement rooms, a significant amount of heating energy is lost through the basement ceiling. ISOTEC basement ceiling insulation provides noticeable energy savings and is also visually appealing. Thanks to its high insulating effect, thermal bridge-free installation and low installation height, it not only improves the indoor climate in living spaces, but also increases the energy efficiency of the entire building.

ISOTEC cellar floor renovation Cause Damp cellar floors

The cause: uninsulated basement ceiling

Heat from the ground floor escapes through the uninsulated basement ceiling into the unheated basement. This results in increased energy consumption and an uncomfortably cool floor on the ground floor.

Preparing ISOTEC cellar floor renovation step 1

01 Preparation

Firstly, we clean the floor of any residues or dirt. We close open joints and level out irregularities. Then, we carefully clean the surface.

02 Sealing

We apply a special sealant to the floor and spread it evenly. This first layer causes the floor to harden and seals it against capillary moisture.

03 Protecting layer

Once the sealant has dried completely, we apply a special adhesive layer. On top of this layer, we apply a levelling agent. Once dried, it acts as a protecting layer and is ready to use. At this point the floor can be painted with a special floor paint as required.

Thin construction - Great sealing effect

Basement floor renovation

The ISOTEC Basement Floor Renovation applies a coating system especifically developed to control the capillary moisture of basement floors. It acts as an effective moisture and steam barrier, of approximately 4 mm thickness or more. Therefore, the construction of a subsequent concrete slab is not necessary.

The advantages of basement floor renovation

Basement floor renovation is a step forward for owners who want to make high-quality use of their basement or prefer a hygienically clean floor in the laundry room. Until now, the only way to deal with a damp floor in the cellar was to install a retrofit reinforced concrete floor slab. This measure is very expensive and time-consuming, so that homeowners often shy away from it. Thanks to the special process of basement floor renovation, there is now a real alternative that permanently stops rising damp from a layer thickness of just four millimetres. The floor can be walked on again just four hours after the renovation has been completed. After 48 hours, the floor is completely usable again.
