Building Materials and Construction Technology
KjellTimell: Ardex A+X, is it Kiilto A+X that is being referred to? Read a bit about built-in waterproofing from, for example, Icopal and Mataki, but they all seem to require full welding, and that doesn't sound like a job to do yourself. Also, those products aren't listed with building supplies at all, just regular roofing felt, etc. My balcony is a 2-layer where the balcony and the residence share the same
Anonymiserad 284245: If you don't have 400mm mineral wool on top, I don't think much will happen.
jonaserik: Mine are 30 mm and it's probably needed if you want to track the drip edge underneath. No clue what they cost, the receipt is buried far back in the binders.
Vross: I've just started building my deck, which will be about 75 square meters. Since my municipality requires it to be level with the floor inside the house and partially extend over a slope, there will be some height variations. I've already struggled with setting about ten prefabricated plinths in crushed stone and fill material for the first row supporting the main beam. The height between the
Sanaz: [citat] We decided to do that! Tear everything down and put in new ones. Realized it was the best and most practical thing to do. So typical that the previous owner had done it so poorly.
BirgitS: [citat] Please read post 2 again. Justus, who wrote it, is probably the closest to an expert on load-bearing walls that you can expect to respond in the forum.
useless: As long as they are not exposed to moisture, it is probably quite risk-free. Why have impregnated boards been used?
Krister42: I wish to mount pillars, 90x90, on dowels, fully threaded rod, for invisible mounting on a beam. Anyone have tips?
Christian Ek: I'm planning to do some renovations this summer and will be installing underfloor heating. We have received a material specification from LK, which includes LK's floor chipboards. But if I choose Byggelit's floor chipboards below, I save about 3000 SEK that could be used for other things. Do you think it's the same, or is it penny-wise and pound-foolish to choose cheaper boards? Anyone with
Jocke Best: If a hat rack has been put up in a 30s rental apartment, it has been drilled a few times before :rofl: Just an example
Tompafix: It works to mix by hand. But a whisk makes it a little easier.
Novisfixaren: I have a garage construction with a low-sloped roof extended from an existing building where I have installed roof beams and wall frame. The next step is roof decking and roofing felt. Is it best to nail on battens and windproof fabric now from a storm protection standpoint, or is it better to wait and leave the frame open while installing the roof decking and felt? Or what is smartest from a
OddPeter: Planning to build pantry doors out of beadboard but the tongue and groove is warped, can't get it right as it's just warping. Tips requested. -;)
Freddan122: Hello. Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to your question, but I'm very curious about the result and which color you chose. I'm thinking about installing flooring in the kitchen soon. Best regards, Fredrik
Stefan N: I have used both Lundberg and Step kit, both worked perfectly.
Blåbäret_numero_uno: It's time to sell an old ceramic item I got from my grandmother once. I seem to remember she said it should sit on top of a chimney?! Maybe it comes from southern Europe. But what is it?! What can I list it as on Blocket simply? She might have been completely wrong! Personally, I think it would look best as a decoration in a flower bed really. It's about 45 cm high and at the bottom it is
senap: [citat] Apparently had a brain freeze. Changed it now. Thanks, Violina!
Gukken: OSB I've heard that there are only two factories in the world producing the glue, and one of them has burned down. We can't even get OSB at work anymore.
MVJK: [citat] Thanks, I plan to put a strip over the joints and then skim coat everything when I spackle the wall. Then I'll paint everything and add the regular casing. I think it will work since the wall is 70mm and so is the frame.
Kolonistuga Rosa: Hello! I'm designing a 25 sqm allotment cottage that will function as a miniature summer house where we will spend a lot of time during the summer months, but probably very little during the winter months. So far, I have designed a vapor-tight solution where the wall from inside to outside looks as follows: 12 mm plywood 45 mm studs/insulation Vapor barrier 120 mm studs/insulation Windproofing
Mazen: [citat] I have done it the same way you are considering; NTR AB is no problem since it's above ground. More important is that the beam is C24 graded to handle the construction. https://www.beijerbygg.se/privat/sv/45x95-impr-hyvlat-c24-ab-4-2m-882204509542
En apelsin: [citat] That works fine, of course. Thanks for the help. Now I feel ready for the Easter project.
Bjoellander: 56 mm was one of the standard measurements for moldings/baseboards when I worked at a building supplies store about 15 years ago, so most likely your old moldings are of that dimension.
Fredriklinden: Hi, I'm renovating a living room and have a dull wallpaper with fabric on the wall. Right now there's some kind of board that looks like Masonite but is about 12mm thick. Is it worth tearing them down and installing new drywall? What would you do? I want a good result, also want to put OSB behind it. Previously, we've used renovation wallpaper but I don't think it turns out so well. Does anyone
Johan456: Not me anyway. I guess it's AMA HUS you're looking for then? There are more, e.g. AMA anläggning, AMA El etc.
C_jay: Is it at least 1mm thick when laying it down? Because I think it is deeper in some places..
