Building Materials and Construction Technology
ravve007: I'm starting to clean the brick facade and plan to use a C-bruk. I see that Finja has both "Puts & Murbruk C" and "Putsbruk C". They seem to contain the same things but are sold as different products. Does anyone know the difference between them?
Juulis: A house with fire damage where the gable was attached to a now demolished/burned-down house. The house is built of brick and has a stick or shingle roof. Crawl space/basement (I think at least). What to do? I'm thinking that a carpenter could build a new gable frame, and then I could cover the whole house with board and batten siding. The plan is to re-side to board and batten anyway. The
fribygg: If you want to cut studs possibly already at the hardware store, isn't a decent hand saw the easiest to both buy and store?
richardtenggren: At Valbo Trä it's called Råspont klyvsida :)
BirgitS: Welcome to the forum! You should probably measure and calculate how thick the wall is to begin with. If it's a (hard) concrete wall, you should use a hammer drill to make holes.
Mackanlarsson: Hello, I have torn out the ceiling in two rooms in my apartment with the purpose of increasing the ceiling height. Previously, these two rooms and a small hallway outside, which connects them, were one room and now that I have taken down the ceiling, there is no wall material between the rooms. I'm attaching a picture so it may be understandable. The old ceiling in the two rooms is in good
EasyCash: [citat] Thank you, found a whole bag of such screws in the garage but none of those screws in the house's construction so I got a little puzzled.
KJD: [citat] Thanks, however, I checked the price. Will have to go with a stud :). Thanks for the input.
4you: [citat] sorry, was in the middle of construction. Awesome. Link. Exactly what I'm looking for. Probably you shouldn't take everything p.e.g. Since it can break.
bobobjorn: [citat] I have used https://www.byggmax.se/reparationsvax-pergo-p13077 on damages before and it turns out pretty well. The more effort you put in, the better it gets. There are quite good videos showing how to do it.
rivaner: Hello, I am replacing windows and adding insulation to a house with aerated concrete walls and concrete slabs. One window opening extends all the way up to the intermediate slab but with a partition cast together with the slab. Above the old window, there was a wooden box with an armored shutter. The new window will be mounted flush with the outside of the old wall below the partition, which is
BirgitS: Welcome to the forum! Isn't it possible to create a curtain hanging that allows the fabric to stick up above the curtain track? If you have pleat tape for pleat hooks, you can sew it a bit below the top edge, for example.
HEA260: [citat] Thank you very much, compare between S8000-N and S9000-N before I write it down.
Pe_Er: [citat] Heco sounds familiar.. I think I bought such screws at Karlsson before and they seemed ok..
Mullberf: Thank you for the response! What type of screw would you have used? There are a multitude of different variants and I want the one that works best.
Chrillthesill: Thanks a lot. I checked out that Selt veranda, and it's exactly the kind of system I'm looking for at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, I can't find a Swedish retailer, only websites from Poland and the USA. Do you know where they can be purchased?
Vadvadetjagsa: [citat] Interesting, what do you mean then? That the same mix used to cast the wall should also anchor the iron in the rock? So not first cast with expansion grout? Then you'd have to drill quite large holes or cast with quite a lot of flow to ensure it doesn't just form a big air bubble in the hole, right? I was thinking of drilling about 27mm and anchoring the iron with expansion grout, then
sepani: [citat] Thank you! I thought it shouldn't breathe at all? hence "thick" aging-resistant plastic?
Jonatan79: Never plastic in the walls or ceilings of houses that are not heated year-round either!
FemTummar: [citat] It's only one of the walls that will have OSB -- the other is already plastered and finished... End of factual arguments. But then there's that wonderful feeling when you install something that fits perfectly...
Giggik: [citat] I saw a film where after wrapping the wall in plastic, they put studs on the entire wall including at the bottom. The comment was that it was to seal it in. I know that if I seal the wall first, pull out the plastic over the floor, then cover the floor with plastic and pull the plastic up, I should tape. How do I do it when I do the opposite?
gone_fishing: [citat] Epoxy is a broad term, Plastic padding a brand. I would probably prime first, then use chemical wood (Plastic padding) then sand and prime again, then finish with two coats of paint. Alternatively, linseed oil putty and a few thin layers of linseed oil paint, but that takes a long calendar time.
hars: Uncertain, and fairly unreliable source. We sent it for analysis later.
findus42: Hello, Replying here as I don't want to be used as a free consultant if not everyone can read. The way stairs are made has changed somewhat. I'll try to explain what differs and why you have to choose a path. A little staircase mechanics. First, a direct answer to your question about how to skew nail. The nail/screw is driven in diagonally/upward deep in the corner. The purpose is not to lock the
wasseng: [citat] Yes, exactly, they should bear the load. If I interpret the drawing correctly, it's 3790mm between the two load-bearing pillars in the section, so I assume that = free span. If I check the wood guide, then perhaps a 90x180 laminated beam might be enough... but this is really not my expertise...
Stefan1972: However, is the channel used for anything else? If no flue gases pass through, there's no need to exaggerate.
Jontha: Do you think I can cut away from the 70-rule at every point where an old horizontal 35x35-rule intersects the new 70-rule when I set cc30? The alternative is to take them out and saw them so the 70-rule remains intact. Now that I ask, option 2 feels the least complicated anyway.
