Building Materials and Construction Technology
zankan: Insulation can be adjusted to address internal resonances in the wall. And if you want to handle sound properly, build a double stud construction and use 3 layers of drywall, which will give you sound insulation of, say, 60 dB at best, probably around 55 dB, which is extremely good but might be needed to avoid disturbance. 55 dB is the standard between, for example, hotel rooms or apartments...
Skistar: Hmm, yes, I had brought in an "expert" who had worked with this for many years who helped me. He said that it can easily happen sometimes but that it is possible to float the entire slab afterwards to make it really flat. I thought it was the helicopter that had worn down these spots :-(
David: [citat] Yep. Costs about 11-12,000 including VAT. The only time there was trouble was when the driver took a wrong turn and we waited with a loader that cost X-hundred per hour + VAT. Regards David
zankan: Ordinary wall paint Gloss 7 or ceiling paint if one is painting the ceiling... It's important to tape and spackle properly as grazing light on gypsum walls is a problem
Magnus_Nordmark: The price for the material is approximately 12-13kr/kg plus VAT. Steel sheet that is 1mm thick weighs 8kg/square meter, so it's just a matter of calculation.. ;-) 4mm sheet thus weighs 32kg/square meter and the price will be about 384kr/square meter plus VAT. In addition, a bit of work with the metal shears is required. Search the yellow pages for metallego, mechanical workshops, sheet metal
Mjölnaren: We used regular standard ground insulation. Just sand around the edges. We haven't had any problems during the 5 swimming seasons. I also have acquaintances with the same installation solution as us, and as far as I know, it has worked well for them too. Now I don't know what you mean by "...something hard" but I would advise against it 8). The pool liner is the weakest link. A piece of advice:
4integration: Hi, In the basement, I have a ceiling made of fine-sawn boards with about 20 mm spacing between them. Between these and the joists, there is a paper that is plastic foil-coated to make it a bit tougher. Where can I find such a thing? What is it called?
zankan: Btg is great for soundproofing. With a 200 mm thick btg floor, it's really great. Then it depends on what you put on top. Lightweight btg is not the best in my opinion, yeah, maybe it's okay for patching holes or building walls with it. :-) And casting a 200 mm floor costs a lot if you are setting up the form yourself... it requires a number of props and things. Of course, you can rent beams and
andersbyggahus: Bought drainage for the garage at "the local hardware store". Unfortunately, they only had 26 gutter brackets, and I needed 32... Went to Byggmax and found the exact same gutter bracket for a third of the price... :-/

MrMagic: 12,750 SKr + VAT last time I bought (though almost a year ago) oak lumber, random width, two inches thick.

zankan: Yes, it should be cold in the freezer... Now we're being sarcastic... we'll stop that... right away... :-) but it was a bit fun anyway... and you'll get that back at some point...
Mats: And what does a concrete stairway become in winter? According to the scar on my forehead, it also becomes slippery. Consider intentionally tilting the steps slightly inward on an open stairway to make it a bit better.
pillan71: [citat] http://www.konsument.swedoor.se/index.asp?page=products&iID=26&rID=1&pID=0 These have a large panel in the middle. But you have already ordered anyway. Hope you are satisfied! :D
sville: Halotex is not exactly like regular paper, but more like a real fabric. In other words, it can withstand a hit from a staple hammer. http://www.epinions.com/Arrow_Staple_Hammer_Tacker_Shop_Tools is really stable and good. Available at most hardware stores.
David: It usually has to be custom ordered. We had 145 mm wide slätspont. Really nice! Check with your building supplier. We had Orminge Trä order ours. Regards David
fia_mstd: [citat] At an eternit factory, it is hardly about isolated exposures... ::)
almis: Hello I live in Höganäs where Mataki has its manufacturing, I can add that in the courtyard in front, there are pallets with both Mataki and Trebolit roofing felt. So the conclusion is that they are manufactured in the same place and probably also the same in the rolls, just different packaging! /Almis
daniellindholm: There shouldn't be any problems. We looked at it for a tower. Needed about a 5m baseboard, but I got really stingy as we stood there. No way I'm paying 150kr/m for a 75mm floor baseboard. There were some that were just veneered with oak, but these were not nice at all. They just looked 'cheap'.
styrman1: Plywood is laminated and cannot move. OSB, on the other hand, can move and therefore requires an expansion joint. It has an undersize of 3 mm for this reason. It is only 897 or 1197mm wide.
4integration: We had an ugly pine staircase that we had to do something about. We chose to paint the underside, stringers, and "spaljé" white and then glued 7 mm oak parquet on the steps. On the front/back edge, we screwed a 14 mm oak strip. We are pleased with the result. My brother-in-law has a new "similar" staircase with steps in solid oak, and sure, their staircase is nicer and quieter but cost well over
Bob_the_builder: If the external plasterboard is not joined at the stud, it's preferable to use H-profiles in plastic as joint support.
zoviey: What is the quality difference between Byggmax budget drywall and their "regular" one? Does anyone have any experience??? Going to add insulation and wondering if they are worth it? They are cheap, or is there something cheaper??
El_-micke: hi there are with different profile heights..........send over a sketch with some measurements and I'll check........I have a bunch..........in blekinge if that's south enough :P
Ulmian: I have a bit of "pul" ahead of me with two interior walls. I need to close off a doorway on one wall measuring 12.8 cm in width. Should I use 45x45 or 45x70 studs? Planning to attach drywall and chipboard afterwards. Possibly also OSB. How will the durability be if I want to attach kitchen cabinets on one side of the wall later? The other wall was previously an exterior wall. The width
