Building Materials and Construction Technology
Jannet: Want to update that we finally got the building permit without much hassle. No changes needed to be made from the original drawing. What I initially added at my own decision was 2 layers of gypsum inside on one wall to achieve IE30.
hempularen: When it comes to the wind, it's more or less standard with some päväxt. So it can be a small problem, but also a bigger issue. Improving the ventilation of the house is generally a good idea. But one of the perks of an old house is avoiding the constant hum of fans (my personal opinion). And as mentioned, if you're considering living space in the basement, I would completely advise against
Liljeros: There are probably no major doubts that there are studs in the wall, at least one every 60cm. I would have tried to get at least one screw in it. If you remove the baseboard, you can easily see where the panel joints are since it is usually not fully plastered all the way down.
Haz6909: [citat] Ok, I just read in the installation instructions for GOLVSPÅN V313 TG4 which says the following. https://www.beijerbygg.se/privat/sv/produkter/byggmaterial/byggskivor/spanskivor/golvspan-v313-tg4 [bild]
Likan: I live in a house from -68 and had raw wood paneling with tretex on all the walls in the house. When we've renovated, I've removed all the tretex and put drywall directly on the raw panels. It's worked well in all rooms, no major work. I'd rather do that than remove wallpaper :)
fribygg: I find it hard to believe that a fully insulated pipe on a stove in use would cool down the room in any way, however, an uninsulated connecting pipe to a masonry chimney or fully insulated modular chimney can help heat the room it is in quite significantly.
jonaserik: I had the same in a house, and eagerly I placed porous boards underneath and nailed with side clips and nails that came with it. I thought they held well. Everything was fine, very pleased, but then six months later I woke up to a crash. Half the ceiling had fallen down, I investigated, the nails were too short, they had only reached the surface layer with the tip. So another round of getting it
Ormriauga: Buy some plaster and mix it in an ice cream container, that's all you need for that hole and it's easy to work with.
Johan Gunverth: [citat] Rather the opposite. Particle board on the wall is mounted edge to edge without expansion joint and sometimes edge-glued tongue. OSB often with an expansion joint. There's a reason that OSB 1200 is 1197mm. 😉 Keep the particle boards.
Rickard.: [citat] If you want exact figures, you'll probably have to conduct the tests yourself, but the collective experience on the subject is that moisture movements aren't a reasonable argument for choosing one over the other; both will work perfectly fine under the gypsum. Since both are chip (albeit of different sizes) and glue, it's reasonable to assume they are very similar.
yonna: [citat] Then it doesn't have to be beautiful boulders - large stenkross will suffice.
Liljeros: The more you can spare, the better of course. All types of free-standing walls will make a significant difference in everything except structural noise. But you'll probably have to sacrifice at least 8cm. Sure, you can apply the drywall layers directly onto the hollow block, but it won't provide the same soundproofing benefit. I'm talking about regular sounds like speech and music from simpler
z_bumbi: You can put a bits in a fixed key, lednyckel. ratchet with socket or wrench if you don't have a sufficiently short screwdriver. Or you switch to fransk skruv.
mbyrod: I have a sunroom that is built outside a former exterior door. The previous owners who did this left the exterior door (aluminum frame) as the door to the sunroom. The former facade has been removed (probably just the facing board) and instead, it is clad with an inner panel. I'm thinking of installing a pull-up bar in the sunroom where the former outer facade was. The problem is that I don't
niclas_e: Hello! We are in the process of quite substantial work in our hallway. Among other things, the existing staircase will be replaced with one that has tiles. I can start with a picture to show how the final result should look: [bild] Only the lower part is relevant right now, disregard the upper staircase. The staircase currently looks like this: [bild] To lay tiles, I have understood that it is
Thomas_Blekinge: One thing is the framework of the cabinet. It can be made of any building material (OSB, simple plywood, studs.) Then the surface coating. There are nice plywood, tongue and groove wood, and other materials for surface coating.
g.kraft: Just a sheet metal rule, if you are going to continue drilling and pulling a cable through, be mindful of the sharp edges. If possible, it is best to first run a VP pipe or hose through the hole to prevent the metal edges from cutting/damaging the cable. Otherwise, you will need to move up a bit to above the floor.
JohanLun: [citat] Yes, I believe there are such toilets. How well they work, I don't know. We had toilets that looked and sounded like the ones on an airplane at a workplace, and there were often problems with them... I suspect they were exactly those with a grinder...
banton: [citat] I don't know if I dare to trust that. Reading the product information here, it says "Removable without adhesive residue: No". But I think it should last for a while, though it’s hard to estimate how long. https://www.tesa.com/sv-se/konsument/tesa-mattejp-extra-stark.html
leifa.k: [citat] You can cast this way to make the garage door seal tightly against the slab. The strip under the garage door will shape itself against the "watery" concrete you've mixed. The plastic sheeting is to prevent "cement stains" on the strip under the door.
Lojsie85: Thanks for the tips! How do you check for moisture under the threshold? Just by unscrewing it and looking, or should you measure with some tool?
BosseHansson: If the walls are painted with silicate paint, I would scrape/knock off all loose material and fill all holes with Ardex F5 or a similar product, and then paint with silicate paint. If you can remove unevenness and the paint from the floor, you have a surface you can then do whatever you want with. The cheapest option is probably to apply a simple surface treatment, depending on what you're after.
Marcus Hennix: [citat] Since I didn't need to go so far underground (about 30 cm), I was able to dig around the pipe on the outside and then carefully make a hole with a knife. However, I also considered how one could puncture a couple of meters inside the pipe but didn't come up with a realistic solution. Mechanically cutting a hole feels almost impossible so far in and burning a hole with some kind of hot
Anonymiserad 405730: [citat] Yes, what do you want with that? The post at the beginning was not directed at you..
Genomklok: In this case, it's the soil map 1:25000 that you should look at, if you're not particularly interested in exactly which rock type it is. However, note the scale. Neither the soil map nor the bedrock map have such resolution that they can say anything at the property level (even less so for different parts of a building), often not even at the block level. The base data is of varying quality, and
Småbrukaren: There are different thicknesses of plywood and mdf boards that should fit.
offlarjon: [citat] Going to assemble the deck joists. But I prefer to use nails there instead of screws 🙂
Anonymiserad 170696: [citat] It is an old house that was built before today's regulations with spacing between studs and beams, so if you use boards or rolls, it would require a lot of cutting and create a lot of small pieces; so, properly installed loose-fill insulation at the bottom and boards or mats between the 45x70 studs that the floor is leveled with.
Anonymiserad 405730: [citat] But you can ask for someone who sells to consumers. Around Gothenburg, where I've worked all my life, we have both Beijer and Brukspecialisten, which both sell to private consumers. Now you own a house, and with that, you grow into becoming a man, and then you solve most practical matters without the internet😉😂
