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 continuously removes moisture, and there is no longer any risk of rising damp.

Thanks to the StaenisGrid, all stresses are removed from the screed, so the tiles no longer experience any stress.
