Building Materials and Construction Technology
MBZV: You might have to sala out from the door frame. There is also klackfoder for 13 mm plasterboard.
Hep: You gave the first answer in a one-year-old thread, so keep your fingers crossed tightly.
Pontus I: Ok! Thanks. May I ask what turned out to be the most stylish or was the easiest?
Peter Engkvist: [citat] May I ask which sawmill helped you?
Oldboy: Fiberboard was used because it insulates, which gypsum does not. With a slightly thicker insulation layer in the installation layer, it probably evens out roughly in terms of insulation capacity. Gypsum is about as vapor-permeable as wood panels, so the construction should work equally in terms of moisture as well. Fiberboards provide a nicer acoustics compared to the hard dense gypsum, but even
Totte_S: When mixing metals that are far apart in the galvanic series, a more noble metal should be used for fastenings and fittings. Otherwise, these act as a sacrificial anode, leading to galvanic corrosion/rust. Ideally, the same material should be used in the screw as in what is fastened, but aluminum screws have poor strength, so it is a better compromise to use stainless steel over hot-dip
dadid: Hello I am planning to carve a detail for the boat and need a piece of thin compact laminate around 600x150mm and about 4mm thick. Where on earth can I possibly get that for a reasonable cost?
jonaserik: Longer dowel and screw, preferably almost as thick as the wall and then it holds.
Cerb: [citat] What I think TS means is that blåbetong also emits gamma radiation. (though low radiation)
cotillion: Plinth panels, they are often made of fiber cement.
mrsnhp: Check if Repair Extreme works on polycarbonate. I glue all sorts of things with it and it's a bit flexible. Epoxy usually becomes hard, right?
nova383: PL400 sounds like an idea indeed! Foder is what it's called, yes :) No, there are no loads to speak of.
Carl Johansson: What material is the plaster base made of? I have incredibly absorbent brick walls that need to be pre-wet the day before work begins, otherwise the plaster will fall off.
z_bumbi: Truss fasteners might work? https://www.joma.se/byggbeslag/Takfasten/takstolsfaste
epw: Poor protection for the wood in it. You should have something to protect the glue that binds the Glulam beams together. There are, of course, paints that resemble Falu but possess significantly better properties in terms of protecting the wood.
kaffetorsk: [citat] Ah, thanks so much for the tip. It might be difficult to find, but now I know what to look for at least. It would undeniably be easiest if you can avoid making any damage to the wall.
Janus82: Use the 95-posts in that case. It's never wrong to make something too stable. :) Regular coarse concrete from a bag works excellently. If you have many footings, make sure to borrow/rent/buy a concrete mixer. For just a few footings, you can mix concrete in a wheelbarrow, but it quickly becomes tedious. It's possible to vibrate footings with a wooden stick, but again, it becomes boring quickly if
scopett: [citat] Old thread, but how did you solve it? I have the exact same shelf/issue at my daughter's place too :-) But we managed to catch it before it fell. When things started falling off, she got suspicious :-) Silly shelf, it leans downwards a bit since the holes are larger than the pins. It's bound to happen since the breaking force pushes outward.
docboy: Have been considering floor plasterboard but unfortunately the cost doubles with plasterboard.
Ozma88: I'm not sure if it will be standalone or against an existing wall (or if it will be different in different stores), so I need to come up with a good solution for both scenarios. But if it's against a wall, it becomes simple, it can be fastened there instead/also. In the worst case, it becomes a requirement. Once it's in place, it should not be moved. It will be loaded with 20-30 kg, but there's
MrJay: There is a new variant (it has been used for about 20 years mainly in France) called a stretch ceiling. It is a solution for ceilings and not walls.. Fairly unknown in Sweden but we will use it in our new build as we have high ceilings. Quick installation, cheaper than drywall, various material choices/surface finishes, and you get completely perfect surface that withstands great stress and
Belmlu: Thank you for the reassuring messages everyone :)
trojlee: I'm going to build a stick-built "attefallshus." I'll be using a nail gun for the panel and frame but need your advice on which screws to buy for my project. I'm thinking about picking up 5 boxes of Essve since an Essbox comes with it, so please write which types of screws + lengths you recommend.
Daniel 109: It depends on whether you want a decorative column or if it is intended to carry some type of load.
zarkov: We realized the other day that we need to tear down all or parts of the wood paneling in our uninsulated sunroom due to water intrusion and suspected mold, and then we started to think about what we should have there afterward. What can/should you use for wall material in an uninsulated sunroom? Moisture-resistant gypsum board? Spruce or pine paneling? Is there any advantage in choosing sauna
Matslax: Double-lock seam metal roofs or panel-covered roofs often last 70-80 years if they are maintained a little from time to time. Just look around at the houses and talk to people in the gardens if you live in a better and slightly older residential area. Many roofs from the 1950s are still good.
Byllen88: The post I was most worried about is where we will attach a gate, so I removed it and redid that spear. I filled in with samkross and stenmjöl, packed it as tightly as I could, and then covered it with soil. It turned out better at least, but considering that it won't be that high, I think it will hold up quite well 🙂
Tummenmitthand: [citat] How many hours did it take you to prepare the walls with e.g., murnät, set slats, masonry, etc., until everything was finished? How big was the area you had? I have a youngster who is pretty upset with his dad who tore down his room 😁🙈 I've never done masonry before, and the walls are about 50-55 sqm.
