When planning the construction of a terrace, it is worth choosing proven and best solutions that eliminate the risk of errors, high costs and possible repairs. Such a solution isventilated terrace , i.e. placed on special supports. It can be laid on the ground, concrete screed and, for example, on the ceiling.
Technologyventilated terraceallows you to easily create a durable surface with an aesthetic appearance, even without the need for employment this order by professionals. It is therefore not surprising that it is becoming more and more popular. Seehow to make a ventilated terrace !
A ventilated terrace is a simple structure consisting of brackets, fixed or adjustable in height, placed on a stable ground and slabs placed on them
Terrace on the foundation, screed or ceiling?
When planningmaking a terrace on the ground , we can choose one of two methods. The first method consists in properly compacting the substrate and making a limiting band. In this case, a professional team with the work should not have any problems. What's more - the terrace made in this wayon a compacted ground , in compliance with the technological regime, will serve us for many, many years.
It is not so obvious in the case of construction technologyterrace on a concrete screedthen covered with ceramic tiles. This method is not only time-consuming and requires extraordinary precision, but also carries a high risk of committing many manufacturing errors, including: the use of too small slab reinforcement, improper foundation or improperly made anti-moisture insulation.It may turn out that an apparently well-made terrace will require a complicated and costly repair after one winter.
In the case ofof the terrace on the ceiling , frost-resistant stoneware tiles are most often used. They are glued to the previously prepared concrete screed, which must be properly protected against the harmful effects of moisture. Unfortunately, when using this method of installation, we have a limited range of insulation measures, which may result in the water destroying our terrace without any obstacles.

Ventilated terrace - easy, fast and safe
The technology of the ventilated terrace is an unbeatable, easy-to-implement method that avoids any errors. A ventilated terraceis nothing more than a simple structure consisting of brackets, fixed or adjustable in height, placed on a stable ground and slabs placed on them. A terrace made in this way guarantees a durable surface with an aesthetic appearance.
"When building a terrace with the use of brackets, there is no need to use complicated tools, and the terrace is laid dry, without the use of construction chemicals. In this case, there are no problems with sealing, and the preparation of the substrate is also much easier. In addition, between the slabs and the ground, without complex construction works, we can easily arrange the electrical and water installations, and if necessary, the terrace can be quickly and easily dismantled. With a terrace arranged in such a way, there is also no phenomenon of detachment of boards due to frost - says Tomasz Kopyra, Market Development Coordinator at Libet.
"In the case ofventilated terrace on the ceilingthe use of a system with brackets allows not only more precise insulation to protect against the harmful effects of water, but also the use of virtually any materials, ranging from bituminous agents, foils and roofing membranes having finished.The only requirement in this case is the need to properly shape thespout slope , which will determine the rainwater drainage. Adjustable supports make it possible to maintain a wider space between the slabs and the ground, which gives greater possibilities of its development. It is a perfect solution when we want our terrace to be partially or completely located above a swimming pool or a pond.
