Building Materials and Construction Technology
AG A: [citat] It would be if you used some really dense plastic paint, in that case. However, it is not recommended.
Alexander HB: Fork anchors have the advantage of also securing against lifting forces.
Aser: We are expanding with two floors, but the current one will keep its single-story. Can send our facade drawings if that might convince my partner? I wouldn't be comfortable challenging the already simplified construction of our summer cottage with another floor, but that's more of a gut feeling (the dimensions are quite weak, which is noticeable). We plan to renovate, add insulation, and achieve
Aser: [citat] Hello. Initially, we were in contact with two of the big players, but one didn't respond and kept making promises. The other sent a quote after we pushed for a couple of months, but it was for something entirely different than what we asked for (concrete slab) for crazy amounts. Got a tip from a carpenter who talked to another carpenter who also turned out to be a designer, so we got
13th Marine: The basement walls don't need to be cast but can be masonry.
luksi1: Today, we have a light blue concrete slab composed of cassettes with a span of about 3m and 50cm in width. I am considering replacing these. Are there concrete cassettes that can be ordered to measure? And that do not require a crane? Like 100kg each.
Sunesdotter: [citat] Ah, I see. Was considering the latter; puttying, putty strip, and renovation wallpaper on it. Thanks a lot for the quick feedback.
Stefan1972: I was mostly thinking about intended montage screw which is sometimes used instead of French screw. They have a slightly higher spiral on them so they dig well into the wood.
Steppen: Thank you! Good and simple explanation! Fixed 4 corners in a sleeping cabin (where every angle is unique 🤪) with this method, limited tools and very little time. I haven't tested any other method either, but this one worked great!
Farstatjej90: Nice with the update!👌☺️
ylven: If they have renovated the facade, there shouldn't be ongoing moisture damage from the old facade at least. Is there documentation on how they did the job? Another thing that strikes me with the first image is that it looks kind of dirty around the cornice and such. Either a lot of air pollution or mold due to humid indoor air as a result of potentially blocked air intake vents.
Garmen: I see that I missed responding, but it could be useful for future searches. It was asbestos
neo11: That one applies a layer of plaster after priming, often 5-8 mm. A bit depending on the wall, if something is crooked, you align the wall with the filling.
fredus: Hello! We are going to open up a part of a wall in our apartment to install a door. The wall is not load-bearing, is about 10 cm thick, and consists of slag blocks (apartment building built in 1939 in Bromma in Stockholm). The ceiling height is 2.7 m. There is a cable running to an outlet on the wall, and I will check if there is any other electrical in the wall before I start cutting. According
Gabbe1: I think it's 8x90 that I have used most often. It doesn't hurt to use longer ones, but my experience is that they fit so well that 90mm is enough if it's 45mm studs that need to be fastened.
Olaf3: I am expanding the house's basement floor which will now mostly be free. The foundation is below ground on both short sides, and about 1 meter high and 3 meters long section (out of a total of 4 meters) will be below ground level on the short sides. The rest is above ground, as is of course the residential floor above which I am also expanding. The extension of the basement floor will be
Johan Laurén: [citat] Hi Jakob. I've done exactly the same thing 😓 I see it's been a while - how did you eventually solve the problem? Best regards // Johan
Tomture61: [citat] You haven't replied so I have to guess at things. Or remove the cornice that's hanging and install support for the cornice (very short studs). Dangerous if the cornice doesn't have support underneath, if someone steps on it.
Ossian K Olsson: [citat] The easiest way is to walk by, think "I should take care of that" and then continue doing so for the next 50 years.
Fotografen: Well, that's an old Masonite board that may have been a little damp at some point. It's harmless.
Anonymiserad 405730: It might be Webers gullex B as it was 0-4mm in ballast at that time, now they have changed it to 0-3mm. But gullex is a simpler mortar and might not be the most suitable for plastering a basement. It was probably easier for the contractor to use the same for both masonry and plastering. Buy plaster mortar B and apply and brush it, first, you need to clean the damages from loose plaster...
J49l: [citat] Yes, this is definitely preferable. For my construction, however, this was unfortunately not an option, but I also concluded that I would have done it that way if I could.
Mjärn: I'm assembling an Ikea wardrobe. Then I will integrate the wardrobe into a wall. So I'll install studs, OSB, drywall. The studs will be set floating on the floor. Is there anything specific I should consider regarding screws in the floor and ceiling? All tips are welcome. I'm a relatively inexperienced DIYer :)
Mjärn: I'm going to assemble the IKEA wardrobes and then build a wall around them so they become integrated into the wall. What should I consider when framing? I'm going to set the studs on a floating floor. Are there any specific screws I should use? I'm open to all tips! Planning to set studs, OSB, gypsum.
cpalm: [citat] I must report a slightly different opinion here. Not that it's a directly bad material, but it's not 100% resistant and breaks down in a humid environment over the years into crumbs and "soil," a bit like in the picture. So in places where you can easily scrape off the träullit, you need to repair it before it can be plastered over. I have cleaned and filled with "homemade" träullit -
Anonymiserad 405730: [citat] Not regular filler but gypsum plaster or some other filler designed for rough filling.
surris: [citat] No, you need 120 so that you have studs to screw into everywhere.
