Technology

The advantages of the Schwedenplatte foundation at a glance:

Overview of our foundation: The heat insulation, the pipes for the floor heating and media are already laid.

heat-insulated base plate with integrated low-temperature underfloor heating,
waste waster and fresh water pipes are already integrated in the base plate,
no expansion joint (very important for tile floors),
Ztime saving with view to further construction work since stone floor is no longer necessary,
Hhighest precision through laser installation,
upper edge of plate ist already prepared for the floor covering (carpet, parquet, tiles etc.),
no dampness and mould problems,
U-value 0.17 W/m² K (passive house 0.10 W/m² K possible),
for massive house, prefabricated house, business or block house up to 2.5 storeys,
highly cost- and time saving with view to further construction work, building time of base plate 2–5 days depending on size and form,
statics, heating circuit distributor, control and regulating equipment, actuators and thermostats are already included in the basic price.

Different anchoring systems are possible. Ask us.

Comparison between conventional base plate and heat-insulated Schwedenplatte:

Conventional base plate	Schwedenplatte foundation
Low surface insulation	no cold bridges
No insulation under the inner and outer wall	high strength of insulation
No edge insulation	insulated edge area
High preliminary temperature	low preliminary temperatur
Very low capacity to store heat	concrete serves to store heat
High surface temperature	low surface temperature (ca. 30 ℃)
expansion joint in the stone floor	no expansion joint
extended building time (up to 6 weeks)	short building time (3–5 days)
high price	low price since all media are already included. Low follow-up cost due to high energy efficiency.

The plus in quality of life is incomparable with a Schwedenplatte foundation due to the integrated floor heating, the heat insulation as well as the pre-installed supply pipes.

If we have met your interest, please send us the following documents:

ground plan of ground floor and upper floor,
load calculation,
statics of your building project,
as well as a layout plan of your property,

or just give us a call.

After the polishing of the concrete, the foundation is ready. On this surface, carpeting, tiles or parquet can be laid directly without problems.

You will then be given friendly and competent information as a well a written offer for your building project.

Glossary

Low-temperature floor heating: runs with a temperature of max. 38 ℃, permanently comfortable temperatures

extension fugue: is needed when laying the floor pavement, especially in areas around the door and large patches of floor pavement.

Laser installation:: Laser technology is used in the building business in order to adjust heights, breadths and lengths exactly to the millimetre.

Passive house: Passive houses are houses that run mostly with their own warmth, increasingly also usable in Germany.

Anchoring system: this is the connection between the base plate and the house.

Surface insulation: this is the insulation used under the base plate, with a Schwedenplatte 20–30 cm thick, depending on the required u-value. It generally consists of perimeter insulation and EPS-material.

Cold bridges: these are areas where there is no insulation and where two materials adjoin that are not isolated.

Preliminary temperature: Temperature regulated in the heating system (with floor heating: 32–28 ℃).

Surface temperature: This is generally the temperature of the preliminary temperature.
