The mezzanine floor is normally made for basements or basements used as technical rooms, garages, workshops or other activities that require a dry environment.
This ensures a good ventilation system that facilitates the dispersion of moisture and presence of radon gas in soil.
The basement has the protection of the soil as from a meter of water maintains a fairly constant temperature (3-8 ° C) throughout the year.
The local underground, in fact, remain fresh summer and relatively temperate winter and form a thermal buffer between the land and the building above.
The wooden beams are placed directly on the foundations or be separated from them by means of solid brick walls that create additional space.
You can allow air circulation practicing holes in the wall communicating with the outside perimeter.
The external vents shall be fitted with grilles closed to prevent infiltration of ground or input of other objects or small animals that may be blocked from the outside.
If proper ventilation, the attic floor allows good breathability and thus a good control of humidity in the structure and within the premises.
Through detachment from foundations and from the ground, the insulation is uniform, and airing helps protect your home from possible presence of radon gas.
The creation of the interspace lengthens the lifespan of the materials that make up the floor and is indispensable for the preservation of floors made of wood.
This floor is light and is capable of supporting weight. The current rules for buildings in earthquake zones does not allow the construction of the attic floor in areas at risk because in case of earthquake, the beams can create an effect of pounding against the wall with serious consequences on the entire structure. The wooden floor
be adopted for a small basement located in dry areas and in any event shall be provided with adequate protection from moisture to prevent damage to the structure.
The implementing rules of the attic floor are:
• AC curbs are made at intervals regular
• creating a hornet's nest in gravel draining non-calcareous equipped with ventilation holes;
• a waterproof membrane is laid on 'extrados reinforced concrete curb to prevent the capillary rise of moisture in the bricks;
• leaning wooden beams, seasoned and treated with a suitable primer on the shelves of the foundations or walls of brick positioned on the shelves and equipped with ventilation holes;
• the process of constructing the floor slab with wooden plank or brick TAVELLONE. If you choose the second solution, the distance of the supporting structure must be such as to accommodate the boards;
• spreads a sheet on the floor of the attic insulation;
• It creates a substrate with a mixture of lime mortar, concrete and cork granular
• completes the floor with the floor covering.
