Renovations, heritage and volumes

For renovation planning in Riehen, RegBL figures reveal that 1031 out of 4255 buildings are under heritage protection. If your property is classified, you must contact the municipality early to navigate permit requirements. Regarding house volume, data coverage is partial; the standard SIA 416 volume measurement is not recorded for the 2885 houses listed, complicating the assessment of scale for insulation or heating projects. Additionally, the year of last renovation is not available in the registry. Homeowners should account for these missing metrics when estimating project costs and technical specifications for their specific building.

The importance of the existing base

The cost of changing a floor depends largely on the condition of the base. Before installation, you must verify the flatness of the screed or existing tiles. If the base requires leveling or special preparation, the final price will increase.

It is crucial to inspect the existing structure before selecting your final covering, as unforeseen repair work can impact the overall investment. RenoIndex helps you in this assessment to avoid financial surprises during your renovation project in Riehen.

Sound insulation and regulations

Before starting work in Riehen, ensure you consult your building regulations to understand specific technical requirements.

A wise choice of acoustic underlay allows you to combine domestic comfort with consideration for your neighbors, ensuring your renovations comply with building standards.

Compatibility with underfloor heating

Underfloor heating is common in modern homes. When selecting new flooring, it is imperative to check thermal compatibility. A covering that is too insulating, such as certain thick parquets, prevents efficient heat distribution.

Prefer materials with low thermal resistance that conduct heat well into the room. If in doubt, ask for specifications on the chosen product to maximize your energy efficiency.

Use the RenoIndex estimator to plan your project in a way that is consistent with your current installations in Riehen.

Does the base significantly impact the price?

Yes, the cost is often dictated by the necessary preparation. If the screed is not flat or requires repairs, this will increase the labor time required for your project.
