Foundations

2. Foundations

At NorgesHus, every house is flexible when it comes to foundation type. It is very
important that customers inform us before building begins what type of foundation
they plan to use. This allows us to adapt the foundation drawings accordingly during
the planning phase.

✅ Types of Foundations

  • Solid Concrete Slab
    With or without underfloor heating. If heating will be added later, NorgesHus
    will raise all window and door openings during production to match the final floor
    height.
  • Strip Foundations / Point Foundations
     Other types like concrete strips or isolated footings are also possible depending
    on the soil and project design.

🛠️ Installation and Protection

  • On top of the foundation, NorgesHus installs ICOPAL Bitumen strips under all
    exterior and load-bearing walls. This layer protects the timber structure from
    rising moisture.
  • All bottom wall beams are fixed to the foundation using galvanized concrete
    anchors    , ensuring stability and structural safety.

🧭 Planning Notes

  • Inform us of your foundation type early in the planning process.
  • If your project includes pergolas or structural posts, we will supply exact post
    positions     for integration with your foundation work.
