Sommario/riassunto

Die Oberflächen und der Aufbau von Fußböden tragen entscheidend zur wahrgenommenen Atmosphäre, Qualität und Beurteilung von Räumen bei. Gleichzeitig müssen Fußböden den enormen Anforderungen eines extrem belasteten Bauteils im Gebäude gerecht werden. Diese Publikation dient als Planungshilfe zur Konzipierung von Fußbodenkonstruktionen und -belägen. Sie liefert neben fundierten



theoretischen Grundlagen Entscheidungshilfen und Hintergrundinformationen zu verschiedenen Materialien, Konstruktionen und entsprechenden Anforderungen. Ein ausführlicher Projektteil zeigt gelungene realisierte Beispiele und liefert Inspirationen für die eigene Praxis.

The surfaces and composition of flooring make a decisive contribution to the perceived atmosphere, quality and appreciation of rooms. At the same time, flooring must be capable of bearing the enormous loads expected of it. Volume 1 of the publication should aid in the construction and the design of flooring and screeds. In addition to a fundamental theoretical basis, it offers decision-making tips and background information on various types of flooring and materials as well as how to plan proper structural connections and transitions.
