For homeowners who decided against a basement for various reasons when buying or building a house and now absolutely need it, there is a solution. Prefabricated cellars can easily be installed afterwards and are available in all sizes. Thus, with a partial basement, more living space can be created again by storing heating, ventilation or hot water preparation systems or winter tires, garden furniture and other items from the house out of the way in the newly installed prefabricated basement.
With modern insulation, the prefabricated basement can also be used as a hobby room or party basement, or for other purposes, such as a spa area or home theater, as desired. Similar to prefabricated houses, prefabricated basements are characterized by a short construction time, as the elements have already been prefabricated in advance on the factory floor. Due to the short construction time, construction costs can thus be reduced, and often prefabricated cellars are offered at a fixed price. When planning a prefabricated cellar, it is important that an expert examines the building ground in advance.
If you value quality, you should make sure that the precast basement has been awarded the RAL quality mark. The RAL quality mark awarded by the Gütegemeinschaft Fertigkeller e. V. (GÜF) certifies not only compliance with legal requirements but also quality assurance of the prefabricated cellar and regular inspections during the planning and construction phases.
