How thick or high should a terrace structure be?

The thickness or height of your terrace construction depends on several factors. Load-bearing capacity, moisture drainage, rising damp, stresses.

The concrete rubble prevents future subsidence and ensures the terrace structure is load-bearing.

The drainage mortar allows moisture to drain away. Actual drainage and the risk of rising damp depend on the complete floor structure and installation.

The Staenis grid divides the screed into sections. Shrinkage and thermal movement remain possible; stresses in the screed or tiles are therefore not ruled out for every floor structure.
