Ventilated floor + plastering basement walls
-------------------- ´
Hello
I previously had an elevated wooden structure in my basement that was really damp. I've removed it and insulated the outside + drainage.
Now to the exciting part
I want to plaster the walls inside to keep a tight check on potential moisture etc... Is there any good plaster, like a filler that you don't have to mix endlessly????
Also, ventilated flooring, does anyone have experience, possible places to buy and get tips? Prices would be fun too????
Continued on an earlier thread but not sure if it’s still active..

I have done something similar to what you are planning to do, but my basement is furnished. The floor is ventilated with a duct fan with adjustable speed connected to pipes lying on the slab in the space between the slab and suspended insulation (about 70 mm of space). I have supported the floor joists in two different ways: 1) using a "nivell" own system and 2) in another room with "blocks" of form plywood. I tensioned the insulation with perforated tape under the chipboard floor. The floor gets its supply air on the opposite side of the room from where the exhaust is placed, the supply air goes down between the baseboard and the wall. The baseboard is moved out ~10 mm. In the gap that forms between the wall and the baseboard, I inserted air filter fabric to prevent dust from coming down under the floor. My experience so far is that it works well, but in one place I have gotten some "creak" from a perforated tape that was probably carelessly screwed, so I suggest you find a better way to hang the insulation. It's worth noting that every centimeter in ceiling height I could get was valuable as I now only have 2 m to the ceiling in the basement.
