Building Materials and Construction Technology
perf: The answer above said most of it, but I can add one thing. If you're a beginner, you should choose KC-bruk, not murcement (gullex). KC-bruk consists of lime and cement, while murcement consists of ordinary Portland cement with a little ground limestone to make it smoother. However, KC is much smoother and easier to work with.
milla: Is it possible to be frugal when purchasing a garage door? We were planning to buy a Hörmann for our newly built garage, but have now noticed that K-rauta has significantly cheaper ones (5000 instead of 11,000 SEK). Does anyone have experience with these cheaper doors, do they hold up in the long run????
Starfighter: If you have the neighbor's permission (in writing), you can build closer than 4.5 meters unless there is a special detailed plan where you are building. Check with the municipality's urban planning office to see what applies to your area. We have a plastered house and are going to build a detached plastered garage. We are not professionals at plastering, so we will build the garage and then let a
MrMagic: Why not make tracks ??? It's super easy... the lightweight concrete is great to work with. Additionally, you lose the point of a homogeneous wall if you start plastering... No, build a lightweight concrete house (preferably in elements) and rout tracks for the installations. There are routers for rent, cheap to buy at Jula and, in a pinch, it works excellently with a regular circular saw with a
LB: Double moisture barriers should be avoided when there is something that can rot or mold in between. If you only intend to paint on the plastic-coated sheet metal, I see no obstacles to that, as long as it's a paint that the manufacturer can recommend - otherwise, there is a risk of peeling.
ledighetskommiten: [citat] Just note that many types of "sea stones" require quite a bit of maintenance, and the joints often get "discolored" (change color) as moisture migrates through them.
marten70: If you want to replace your front door, you should expect to invest at least 15´ if you want a door that still works well after a few years and withstands daily wear and tear. Ideally, you want a door that lasts 15-20 years!
marten70: It is also allowed to use simple gypsum for closely spaced studs c/c 450 but it is not recommended. There are also Kågcem and cebonit which are approved and significantly more stable and stronger than gypsum. Wet room gypsum is used a lot in our neighboring country Denmark and has been for a long time. Per
sollentuna: http://www.byggahus.se/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=byggmatr;action=display;num=1083142668; A few more links, whether cheap or not I leave unsaid.
MathiasS: Depending on what type of façade you have, the planks won't look the same on both sides. For most types of vertical paneling, you use sawn timber with one planed side and three "sawn" sides. If you turn such timber around, it looks a bit odd. If the planks are in such bad shape, I would replace them entirely.
Jesca_j: Makrolon is shatterproof, more scratch-resistant, and more expensive.
BoByggarn: There are no problems with adding insulation to the outer wall with foam plastic - as long as there is no plastic foil on the inside. Otherwise, you will definitely have problems. The wall must be able to breathe.
sol: I'm a bit confused about the direction of shrinkage. I've read in the book "Slöjda i trä" by Jögge Sundquist that when the wood dries, the heartwood side will become convex and therefore should be placed upwards. Quite the opposite of what they said at the lumberyard. Hmm, could it be different for treated wood and other types? It shouldn't, I think. Is anyone absolutely sure about this?
norrlandshus_sthlm: test with natronlut not fun but it might work it will probably be patchy but you're going to oil or something afterward, right? use protective equipment ...nasty stuff like
mgb62: Hi In Västerås there is/was F:a Idé-rum. A great place to visit to get ideas and in some cases shop at reasonable prices. (If you could find a sales assistant, and if the items were in stock) Now they apparently have gone bankrupt. (again) Does anyone know if they are open and/or if there will be a clearance sale of the inventory? We had actually found some things we were thinking of buying,
CATengustav: Hello. At the recycling center in Eskilstuna, private individuals can leave sleepers free of charge, but if you are a business owner, you will probably have to pay around 5000 SEK/ton. Best regards, Gustav
charta77: Hmm, unit price 11.50 for nail clippers at byggmax?
Alfons_Helikopter: Carefully built frame type 35x70 on the plate. Half in half at the corners and a diagonal brace from the lower hinge to the upper corner. Four or six mm plywood on the inside, painted sauna panel on the outside, and a metal skirting 30-40 cm up at the bottom edge to handle rain splashes. A simple board is not very torsionally rigid. It will wobble and be difficult to make stable.
que: Maybe ABI trä has something like that? http://www.abi-tra.se/_start/index.htm
Johannabacken: 4000 including VAT for 3 pieces of 1355x675 laminated glass and fittings (12 pieces). ///Johannabacken
4integration: Oki, a French one with a plug in the joint it is. Thanks for the help.
cubix: No, that might not be so appropriate. But that thing with svärmor gives me some ideas.
Bob_the_builder: The limit is supposed to be at 18%. If it's more humid than that, it can mold during construction.
