Building Materials and Construction Technology
Matti: Probably easier to go to a carpentry shop and ask, they have the expertise often lacking with "regular" wood sellers at places like Bauhaus edit: noticed a bit late that it was quite an old post so you've probably bought your wood already...
kalleanka70: Can get back soon with details. Got the price from the architect who designed the house. As I understood, it's finished externally with a roof. It looks great. The stone material I estimate at around 130k SEK for the rest. As mentioned. I'll get back.
arny: Does anyone have any experience with this building method (e.g., with foam block elements from Dorocell or Palikka)? I've seen that there's a little written about this in previous posts, but I haven't found any references from someone who has built with the method themselves or who lives in a house built this way. Are there any pitfalls to avoid? Are the houses really as energy-efficient as
Roger_B: See the following thread for more discussion about 8m span with a central support. http://www.byggahus.se/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=byggmatr;action=display;num=1073552269 In short: K24 45x195 is not recommended, even K24 45x220 is on the flimsiest side according to some tables, but works under certain conditions.

pag: The thing is that the pipes don't come up from the floor with standard spacing, so there still needs to be some fiddling with the pipes. But, apart from pipe parts, is it the above-mentioned three items that need to be purchased? Best regards, /Pag
hasse_f: Then there's melanin, veneered MDF, etc... All depending on how you want it to look.
Haagbard: A friend is planning to build a double garage in Leca (25 cm stones) with plenty of space in all directions. Initially, it was just a matter of walls with trusses on top, then it leaned towards making the walls 1-1.2 meters higher for storage space above the garage, which means a floor structure, so trusses wouldn't work well anymore... and so the thinking continued... 2/4-post lift will surely
Bob_the_builder: ...and for anyone thinking of buying Tenico's building descriptions, I can suggest that they can be purchased directly from the publisher, Liber www.liber.se significantly cheaper.
henke_penke: I also think it seems to be okay, but the carpenters I've asked have choked on their coffee when I've asked, and said that 45x145 should be more than enough... but they're probably still stuck in the time when there was "spån" in the walls!!!
Stratovarius: Thank you for all the help looking forward to the renovation =)
charlie7117: Hi, Does anyone know what Älvsbyhus charges for all the materials needed for the upper floor, and what is included in that price? Does anyone also know what it costs for a wood-burning stove through them? Lotta ???
Sweli: On the domes of our house, we have ordered from the supplier MASTERFACADE. It is a panel that can be plastered directly on or painted with plaster paint. It is made of a concrete mix, heavy and hard as concrete. We will plaster or paint it ourselves in the summer ;D You can see what they look like on our website.
dadid: Hello. Take a look at Kauna.com Best regards, Dadid
glader: The facade timber itself has a sample price here in Gothenburg: 102 SEK per square meter, including VAT. Those were primed boards from Smålandsvirke. Unfortunately, I don't have the price for the rest, but there were others who did =). I don't know where you live, but it's always fun to compare prices from different construction companies. Norrlandsvirke from Kalix, I also have a price for:
Stratovarius: ok I will need it for a construction job talked to the person he just said it's a light wood untreated! Any tips? 16-18 mm would be perfect /micke
Benno: Byggmax has been reasonably cheap on VP-rör and boxes around a tenner each for both, and it's the same brand that others charge 50% more for. Otherwise, I don't like to compromise on quality when it comes to electricity. The best is if you know someone with a discount at an electrical wholesaler. Then you don't have to worry about getting bad stuff, and there is much more to choose from compared
Bozz50: I used Clas Ohlson's (have you heard that one before? ;)) brackets when I mounted my super cool hallway chair on the wall. However, their brackets are ungalvanized, or at least shiny, which might not be suitable for the satellite dish...
einpajo: Ok, with all due respect for your choice General Failure, I will probably go with the age-resistant one. Thanks for your opinions.
gaia: If any formaldehyde is left after 15 years, it will stay where it is for the next 15 years as well…. I guess. gaia
joen1: A correction of the VAT only The VAT will increase to 22% upon entry into the EU. Many companies have already raised it. I was there last Christmas, so I know the situation! Regards, Jörgen
frasse: It's Gyproc and they're called GN9, I'll check with the house supplier if he has a little more info.
mammamys: We had a break-in at the start of our construction >:( >:( >:( They stole tools and machines from the craftsmen but "our" items hadn't arrived, it wasn't worthwhile for the builders to use their insurance because the deductible is so high, but if it had been our appliances, our insurance would have covered it!! Best regards, Maria
Torparkungen: I must check the shipping cost for my part. Not to be forgotten. But it's important to see the whole thing positively = it should be possible to get it below 21.25 :-X
Torparkungen: Hello! I listen and observe... I will have 45x95 in my walls myself. All on the ground floor, to get as solid a feel as possible without overdoing it. By the way, I've also heard that 45x95 studs at c-c 600 should be suitable for load-bearing interior walls in a 2-story house. I will also nail raw cladding inside the plasterboard on certain walls. I can hardly wait!
Benno: I suggested it to Pricerunner a couple of years ago, but they didn't seem interested. Probably too much work... It should be able to lower the price on certain standard goods, but much cannot be compared. Take, for example, timber at Byggmax, which can result in more waste and requires greater efforts in the form of knot varnishing and filling (speaking from experience). Different brands and
Fasting65: Lisa - you have received a message... We have scaffolding lying around...
BAS: It's probably quite irrelevant whether you have 95 or 120 in the walls. The major heat leak is called the garage door. I have installed one that is "heavily insulated" only 40 mm. It occupies 9.5 m[sup]2[/sup] and also leaks a little at the edges and at the bottom (overhead door) even though I have adjusted it according to all the rules. As for the roof, insulate more than in the walls.
tiggre: install self-adhesive foil ceiling panels in all rooms (currently there are old tretex-like tiles)... it's convenient to work with if you have a nail gun and air compressor... 120x60 chipboard panels that are foil-covered, various brands are available, but I think they are all more or less the same (except if it's supposed to be "limed oak" or such patterns)...
