Building Materials and Construction Technology
alpha_raa: Thank you very much! Just tested it and it seems to work very well! 🙏
Mekstr: Elastic fire sealant. Is there one that the filler adheres to?
HZL: Hello! Yes, replace them. I would check for an overhang so that water doesn’t stay. I would choose a slightly convex one. Prime, paint twice with good paint. Be careful with end grain! Then everything, of course, make sure it’s completely dry, use the right screws, scrape/sand the old paint, don’t keep any rotten wood! Any gaps can be sealed with paintable outdoor acrylic sealant. Good
fredrik.johansson: [citat] Probably, this bag will mostly have a static load... I bought it second-hand for a pittance after one of the daughters mentioned it would be fun to try. But we'll see if it gets more frequent use; then maybe chemical anchors and a larger mounting will be needed.
MarkGubbe: I am planning to use a jigsaw to perform "snickarglädje" on a sheet. Can plywood be used for this and if so what type? How to proceed with painting, type of paint etc.? How long will the material last, considering it's on the west coast and affected by wind and water? Aesthetically, it looks like in the picture. [bild] I hope someone can help me with my questions. Best regards, Magnus
Spik_och_Skruv: I haven't tried cladding a wall with natural stone, but as you said, it will be heavy. Instead of having the wall support it, it's probably better to use the natural stone to build a faux wall in front of the one you want to clad, which will then support itself. This, of course, depends entirely on how thick it becomes, so if these natural stones are relatively thin, it won't be as heavy.
VidarH: I would guess that it was gängpaj that was behind it. That or the wings bent when you pulled way too hard.
Oldboy: [citat] There you go. The moisture may also come in from outside through the brick wall if it is exposed to wind and rain. Lightweight concrete, just like regular concrete/mortar/plaster, can absorb moisture and dry out, so yes, it "breathes." (It is regular concrete that has been allowed to ferment like a loaf of bread so that a lot of small air bubbles/pores are formed, allowing for better
Peter Israelsson: How do I build my own workbench for a miter saw and table saw?
Kardan79: [citat] We did the same thing in our kitchen. Used shelves in melamine that I cut into strips, which we screwed from inside the cabinet. Made sure to have the white side facing outwards, because it (on the margin) might be a bit visible closest to the cabinet frame.
Bo arnold: Can't possibly be that you have 120 between the studs, then the walls would be wavy. Do you perhaps have some thicker raw board or planks behind?
TutenStain: I ended up fitting a backer rod and then construction sealant. Turned out pretty good, I think!
Stuff: I have custom-ordered a wrought iron railing from here. Very satisfied https://karles-smide.se/produkt-kategori/racke/inomhusracke/
Oldboy: My goodness! A house from the early 1900s. Obviously, these beams are part of the load-bearing structure. The upper floor/joist is built to insulate the lower floor from the upper floor. Otherwise, it would have just been a plank floor in between, where both dust and sound would have traveled through. These beams also play a vital role, just like in any log house, in tying the outer walls
Oldboy: It is certainly possible to reinforce Leca concrete. Possibly depending a bit on how many Leca balls are in the mix, it might affect efficiency, but it should be compensable through how you reinforce. Aren't there reinforced Leca beams?
drömmenomlandet: Have seen a bit of that on Amazon when I've looked for other profiles Like this one?https://amzn.eu/d/8vhsdZh
useless: [citat] Isn't it never wrong to follow industry rules?
Rickard.: Okay, that doesn't quite align with my several years of experience with papptak, but it is definitely a risk construction.
joakim_j: [citat] I haven't really gotten to the painting yet unfortunately so I don't really know... You can see the tracks in the plastered wall, but it feels very smooth when you run your hand over it, so I'm not sure...
Oldboy: Is the post base sealed at the bottom creating a basin of water for the post to stand in? Even if it isn't completely sealed at the bottom, it will likely be very damp most of the time since the metal doesn't allow for significant ventilation/drying out after each time it rains and gets wet. I don't know what the black stuff is but would be surprised if it's not moisture-related.
Max Lindholm: [citat] Yes! That's what I'll do. Thanks for the input
Jansson69: [citat] Yes, I have nothing to sketch on so the visualization says it sounds right😉
Nygge72: Hello, how many wall braces are needed if erecting a frame with walls measuring 11.5*9.5 meters? That is, to help stabilize the frame before cladding them. Thanks in advance
Centano: It entirely depends on how you want it to look. You can skip the skirting board completely and bring the panel down towards the floor (with appropriate movement allowance).
Johan Gunverth: [citat] Four Molly considering the holes are located in the corners. You'll likely see when you have drilled the holes (since you already know where the mount should be) whether it's single or double. I believe it's primarily in newer multi-family houses where they want to reduce footstep noise better than with single gypsum, that they install double. In a private villa, it's probably not
Aqiee: Hej, har nyligen köpt ett hus med tillhörande garage, ritningen föreställer ovanvåningen. Som ni ser är befintlig invändig höjd på övervåningen 2050mm vilket är i lägsta laget för att kunna inreda och nyttja till vardagliga ändamål. Vilka möjligheter tror ni det finns att höja takhöjden (helst till 2400mm men även 2200mm är acceptabelt) genom att flytta upp hanbjälken? Är
Vector: [citat] Well, I think I used 35mm with 6mm renovation plasterboard
