Building Materials and Construction Technology
Anonymiserad 23608: If the house/corners aren't too shabbily built, sealant is enough. Sika's acrylic sealant has 15-20% elasticity.
Maria Sedell: We are going to insulate a roof with an inner ceiling of old shavings and an outer roof of metal. We will lift the metal and insulate from the outside. We want to use cellulose loose-fill or Hunton boards. Which is the best option, and is an air gap necessary for both methods before the metal roof is reinstalled? What materials should be placed closest to the shavings and nearest to the metal?
svanstrom: [citat] Thanks for the good info! I haven't really thought about whether I want trim or not, but you're right, 2mm isn't much really, so a 122mm should be best. I was considering building my own frame, but I'm a bit pressed for time so I'm leaning towards buying a ready-made one.
Pär S: Here are two questions about my deck flooring that will run along the entire west side of the house. I plan to dig out and fill with gravel and then lay cement slabs. On these, roofing felt and then joists. My plot slopes, so on the left side of the conservatory, there will probably be a bit more joist or adjustment with plastic feet. I prefer not to screw into the house and plan for the floor to
Rickard.: OSB is windproof, and if you install it reasonably, you get roughly the same effect without needing the plastic, which is at least questionable in these situations. Windows, doors, and under the sill are classic places where you can focus a little extra attention regardless.
Garp Hög: Went through the same ordeal with our patio. I can highly recommend linoljesåpa after it has been treated; it smells good, protects well, gives a nice matte sheen, and becomes insanely soft and pleasant to walk on.
mgranbom: We did it like this, with a support in the middle since the rod is about 2m long. The supports at the ends have a plywood board screwed on so the rod is held fast lengthwise. [bild]
Anonymiserad 405730: [citat] Yes and it has no significance...
Troberg: No electricity in the walls? In that case what maah says, plus: * Square * Carpenter's pencil * Sawhorses I would also have, even if it's not strictly necessary: * Angle grinder with flap disc. Sometimes you cut something a millimeter too large, and that's the easiest way to fix it. * Clamps. Not a huge need, but you always seem to need some.
Tage97: I am in the same situation as you but plan to apply leveling compound from Biltema and plaster the walls 😊
Titan123: We want to build a staircase instead of this slope (see attached image) and need tips & ideas on how we should build it and what material to use (preferably not a wooden staircase) so that it looks nice.
finnemang: A large sledgehammer and knock it down. It takes 5 minutes to knock down that wall. Protect the floor, seal openings, ventilation, and open the windows.
Zlatan Byggahusovic: [citat] [/QUOTE] Hello, I'm dealing with a similar problem. I'm having trouble picturing your solution. Do you have a quick sketch to show? Thanks in advance!
Elendil: The stiffness across the span direction. That means the floor structure cannot buckle under side loads. For example, storm winds on the gable. I believe the noggings shown in the picture are sufficient. But it depends on how large the gable will be and how heavy the house will be.
BirgitS: The walls that I have circled in red on the section drawing are most likely load-bearing. [bild] As I interpret the drawings, it is the wall you want to tear down.
Hasselhagen: [citat] Hello there! Saw this post and got really inspired! Would you like to share how it went?
LoftJonas: [citat] Answering myself, and thanks for the help! It is true that Skivspecialisten has long panels! However, you can't buy there as a private person. But if you go into a Beijer store, order and pay, you can then just pick up from Skivspecialisten yourself! For example, Beijer in Jordbro is just a few kilometers away from there.
useless: You can glue fiber cement boards with stone adhesive, making it the same as prefabricated foundation elements.
FemTummar: If someone else has the same question -- I think I've found it: It's apparently called Møllerstue and is available for purchase in Norway.
Oldboy: It should be fine to install at least a vapour brake. In principle, regular dense construction plastic should also work, but with older houses, there can sometimes be factors that overturn modern methodology. The decisive factor should be if the old solution has worked smoothly without moisture damage for 50 years, then the same solution should work smoothly for the next 50 years as well. It also
Josth: Looks like some kind of district heating plant. Contact the district heating company responsible for the area and make sure they know you are the new owner from now on so there won't be any issues with heating and hot water.
mariavl32: Hello! We are continuing with our renovation of a townhouse built in the 60s. Now we are tackling the living room walls (concrete) but behind the baseboard, there were some softer wall sections. It crumbles into a kind of black powder when touched and is mixed with brown "cork pieces" and around it is regular concrete. What could this be? The black stuff almost looks like "charcoal," slightly
Anonymiserad 405730: Common sand fillers for indoor use, such as Beckers medium, contain copolymers which make the wall quite impermeable when used extensively, preventing it from breathing optimally. Plaster does not have much in common with these fillers except for a little aggregate.
NoOne2k: It worked out just fine. Followed the drawing in the first post, became stable and good, the downside is that the day it needs to be replaced, you have to locate the screw heads and repaint the entire wall when taking down the motor. There are pros and cons to everything. Unfortunately, I have moved from the house, but I don't have to worry about how to solve potential issues the day they arise.
Ville_Vessla: [citat] Misinterpreted by me, apparently didn't read carefully, the only purpose seems to be to make the screws black, but mentioned that new ones were ordered and then someone wrote about painting and there I had bad luck and thought something about painting new screws.
Staffan-N: Build a sturdy, wide rack where you can hang them in a row, then you have a cart to move with.
Rosaregn: [citat] Wow, thanks for the quick reply!! ☺️ I have never plastered a wall, but I do frost cakes like crazy, so I think I might have some use for that 😅 yes then it looks like it's going to be YouTube all weekend now! 👌
