Building Materials and Construction Technology
Oestergaard: Hello, I am in the process of building a conservatory from Willabgarden (Lean-to roof with glass roof 6030mm x 3825mm) on insulated floor beams where I have 145 mm insulation in the beams. But I would like to have it done correctly. I plan to enclose all sides and install ventilation so that the air can keep the humidity down. What I have read about building insulated beams is (from the ground
U&D: Thank you! Should you apply a red primer to the lecablocken where the concrete part is to be cast?
KJD: concrete, but it's going to be on the outside so it must be for outdoor use. it's a garage, so might as well dimension it for some load - it's very little but I would say some form of repair concrete. Don't forget to apply primer first, and leave 5mm to level with leveling compound - cure it and cover the concrete for four days. read the instructions on the bag. surely someone has more wise
Vardagsrum: Thanks to everyone who responded, the knowledge seems to be very high in certain areas of this eminent forum! :) Unfortunately, I cannot contribute with any follow-up, as for several different reasons, the purchase did not happen. However, I guess the answer to the question is contained within the responses in this thread!
Ollahs: I had slotted the studs at the bottom 45x45 on both sides and then glued and screwed a 45x45 which you then place the studs on. Maybe it’s overkill but it would have felt better :)
Snickarkirre: No, they shouldn't have them if it looks like you've drawn up. It would be different if they had gone all the way up to the ceiling and continued down past the window. Not surprising that you don't understand it, I was the one who thought wrong that the wall was open, but then it would have been easy to change the whole way. But maybe you can put the angles in the window opening instead, just as
Workingclasshero: I would have placed a disc that almost reaches the chimney stack. Then covered it with a metal angle or angle iron. Hello by the way, we are almost neighbors.
witten: Sour but nice that you discovered it now and not when half the panel was on. You have to replace it, anything else is madness and will be classified as a construction defect.
Haas84: We are soon going to enclose our patio. But as you can see from the picture, one side is lower than the other. We want the same height for the glass all around and will therefore need to build down one side somewhat so that it aligns with the other side. The fittings on the top of the glass will only be support/guide rails, so no one will be there. What needs to be built is 90x360mm, so my idea
Alexn72: [citat] The nearest hardware store has ladders, so you won't have to discuss with the person who is going to climb it. Or borrow one from the neighbor.
fribygg: [citat] If you are going to order custom, order more than you need, next time you or a future owner need to replace a couple of rotten boards, it's nice to have a few extras in stock.
ErikMg: I live in a three-story house and have just renovated our old worn pine staircase between the first and second floor. It was a whole weekend in the dust cloud while the paint stripper and sander removed the old surface. Now I'm considering what to do with the other staircase. Even with a really good ladder, it will likely take significantly more time because you can't choose your working position
Janus82: I have a basement under my bathroom so insulation is not necessary in my case. But just as you mentioned, there is insulation in EPS so it should solve your problems.
SvenAkeA: Planning to build a shed with an open area of 5 x 7 m. That is, without a center pillar. A sloping roof at 7-8 degrees. Tongue and groove boards and roofing sheet metal. I’m considering roof trusses corresponding to a right-angled triangle with the dimensions: 5, 0.8, and 5.064 m. The slope is then 9 degrees. The trusses are installed with 1.1 m center to center. I assume the horizontal part is
perlinde: Hello, I have inherited a house built in 1967 with basement walls made of "interlocked Ytong bars," blue, of course, due to the nice by-products. Unfortunately, when the house was built, the masons neglected to insert the lovely yellow locking plates, so besides having fun objects to place in bicycle spokes when I was little, the basement walls have quite a few cracks. I have therefore planned to
Kangarooster: Thank you so much :) I guess I'll try drilling carefully then. Just like you said, it's probably best to skip the lättbetongvägg!
torparavgrund: Here I want to insert a somewhat embarrassing confirmation that it was largely a matter of me having bad bits. Not worn out or anything, just bad. I bought a new pair (not the ones linked to above), a kind they had at Byggmax (where I was going anyway) that were about 1½ inches long, with slightly thicker walls in the cross itself and small "grooves" on the sides of these. HUGE difference. Then
putte22: Looks like an industrial panel for noise. Like echophon modus with distribution in white or natural. Such panels are usually mounted with these plastic plugs.
Nygge72: Hi, saw this video, and wondering where I can find these sealing profiles they are using? I've googled but can't find where to buy them. So now I'm turning to you if you know [MEDIA=youtube]bseQca3tLBA[/MEDIA]
prototypen: It probably carries along some wood as well.
ACLA: Hello! I am going to build a carport with 5 posts measuring 10x4 meters. Can I use 50mm Jackofoam xps 250 under the plinths? I am inexperienced and not very knowledgeable. Thank you in advance
Jonkerstånker: Hello everyone. Homeowner for a year and have received a lot of help from Byggahus. Now I can't find a clear answer to a question that's come up, so I have to ask myself. I've made some minor repairs to the exterior plaster on a concrete basement. Now I've discovered a hole in the concrete on the outside of the basement stairs. Likely water has run along the embedded railing post and over the
gretawester: Hello! We are going to build a porch for this villa - this year we plan to fix the "floor" and next year build the roof, columns, railing around, etc. We plan to build this in wood and have found good information about groundwork underneath (we plan to lay bearing gravel and then compress it with a plate compactor and then lay a layer of road gravel or setting gravel that is a few centimeters
egge80: If there is a thought of maybe wanting to tear down the wall, I would have also laid the tiles first and then used double-sided tape (it holds more than you think). If I then want additional fastening, I would have put screws in the grout and the day I want to tear down the wall, I only need to fill in a bit of grout...
3lviis: Considering buying Spaljéspjäla for indoor stair railings. They seem to be expensive.. Has anyone here used other wood that was cheap and is just as hardwood? Can regular lumber be used? I would like it to be as cheap as possible. Please send a picture and what it costs per wood.
Teletha: became 2 consoles with 2 molly plugs each works just fine
Snickarkirre: Why not just use regular wood glue for outdoor use if it's wood against wood. It becomes strong like brännvin. Otherwise, my money is on tec7.
