Building Materials and Construction Technology
MathiasS: [citat] And in Swedish, it basically means that it's knot-free timber, or at least timber with small and few knots.
klint: Who will you sell the wood to, is there anyone who will accept it for payment?
Lotta och Roger: Hello! Not a salesperson ;), but Kungsäter doors have good quality. The mirror doesn't crack away like some other brands do. So I would check the price from different places and buy the Kungsäter door from the cheapest one.
Stefan: Hey hop! I think Ytong from Poland or Estonia might be an option to consider. I recall us discussing various alternatives to stone houses and their prices here on the forum, and Poland (and Estonia?) were mentioned. If you search for previous posts, you'll find a price comparison between the different materials. Best regards, Stefan :)
Fasting65: The Swedish National Institute for Working Life has conducted a small study on the träskivebranchen. It might be worth reading. http://www.arbetslivsinstitutet.se/publikationer/detaljerad.asp?ID=696 http://www.arbetslivsinstitutet.se/publikationer/pdf_arb/1998-19.pdf
Jynna: We are planning to use old brick as flooring in the hallway and kitchen. We've received a price from 8 - 12 SEK per cut. The brick is cut twice so the "slab" doesn't become too thick. Can anyone suggest where this can be done at a cheaper price? With the above mentioned price, the cost per square meter becomes too expensive. I live in Ystad, so if anyone knows where this can be done locally at a
Nybyggare: I believe that most manufacturers recommend sealing laminate flooring if it is to be installed in a kitchen or hallway. Primarily, this is to cover the seams but also to withstand any additional moisture they might be exposed to.
frasse: The advantage of råspont is that it provides a few extra mm for screwing, but it's also a bit more work to get it in place. However, it's easier to handle individual planks when it comes to shaping around boxes, slanted ceilings, and such.
JanW: GIRA is the name of a German company that makes a lot of cool electrical gadgets. Among other things, they have a touch dimmer that can also control electronic transformers (I haven't found any other like that on the market). They also make a series in brushed steel. Our house is now equipped with a 5-socket panel from GIRA with four dimmers and a vacuum socket, all in brushed steel. For this,
joakim: Thanks for the information. I will check how laminate conducts heat when I have underfloor heating. Otherwise, it will probably be vinyl flooring in the most exposed areas.
MathiasS: Yes, there are better materials than plyfa. A so-called OSB board does the job just as well but costs significantly less. Krauta sells these for 119SEK/board, while plyfa costs you 155-160 bucks.
Annika: We have just moved into our house and we have oak floors, white panel doors, white door trims, and high white baseboards. Additionally, there is a whitewashed staircase with oak steps, which we think looks nice. We have a vanilla yellow kitchen from Balingslöv with oak countertops. So, no other types of wood besides oak.
PA: From what I've seen, it looks like Byggmax doesn't have allmogestil. You're probably right about the price. But then it will be pärlspont.
yonna: I saved my neighbor's 80-year-old sliding door from going to the dump. I've stored it in the basement for ten years. A few months ago, I got a carpenter to install the door in my house. The old frame was in such bad shape that we discussed new joinery. A sliding door is naturally much more complicated than a regular door frame (installation of steel beams, rollers, etc.) but it was still much
Annika: We installed the floor on the upper level and laid floor foam from Tarkett over the floor chipboards.
Sweli: [citat] It was the separate toilet and not the shower/bathroom I'm talking about ;D ;D ;D
Lill: [citat] Objection! ;) You will have two colors on your pressure-treated floor. The outdoor part will turn gray... the part under the roof will retain the "treated color"... I have no solution, and it might be the same if you use other types of wood... what do I know... ???
Idalind: [citat] Exactly! I have done the exact same thing with the same results. It would be really fun to hear a statement from an INDEPENDENT expert!
Sweli: We were in Rostock and Lübeck. Bahr Rostock, here we found the most variety and it ranged between 100-150kr/sqm. Carrara marble 290kr/sqm Hagebau Rostock we didn't find much more than our kitchen floor, terracotta tiles with small decorations. Toom Baumarkt Rostock we found good lamps and such. Hussmann Lübeck, worth a visit. Specialized in tiles and ceramics. Delivers to Sweden. Prices vary a
General_Failure: [citat] It depends on the type of floor. If it's solid wood flooring, you lay plastic and paper on the concrete. For engineered and parquet flooring, I believe it should be floor foam (type of foam plastic).
hama170: We bought through the house builder, but kungälvsträ also had a good price.
IngvarW: OK, our intermediate floor and roof beams largely rest on a Leca wall that runs through the entire house. The standing beams in the middle are only for lateral stresses in the form of wind. Thank you anyway, regards Ingvar.
Sweli: They are made of concrete blocks and cast in a single piece at the factory. You can see how they look and how they are installed on our website under assembly. There you can see how they are lifted into place and inserted into the wall. It was quite easy. The hardest part is ensuring the distance to the nearest wall is exact on both sides, but they managed it ;D
yonna: I have very handy friends (father & son) who laid a 'real' parquet floor. It looked really nice when it was finished - but now, after almost ten years, they are bringing in a professional to redo the floor. They regretted struggling so insanely with the floor - it is much harder than you think - is their conclusion. It might be something to consider. There may be other things in the house you
Iza: Hello ::) I am interested in swelis prefab concrete wall how much can the price vary, we have received a price for a prefab wood wall with a plastered facade and the plaster is very expensive. I have also designed our house completely myself, just hoping we can build it soon, working on quotes!
Lill: There are furniture pads, so why aren't there dog pads for dog paws ;) ?? No, actually I had a question regarding the price of linoleum. Does anyone know? Surely linoleum is at least as durable as plastic in dry spaces. Old linoleum floors withstood everything anyway.
Leif: Marmoroc might not be the most common façade material in Sweden for single-family homes. I don't know how much you know about the Marmoroc façade system. Simply put, it's a stone made of, among other things, crushed marble, cement, and color pigments, which is mounted on special steel rails that are screwed into the façade in different ways depending on the substrate. In terms of building
