Building Materials and Construction Technology
koho11: My 170 m2 cost approximately 400 SEK/m2 including oil and stainless steel nails. I have tongue-and-groove paneling. Shiplap paneling is somewhat cheaper.
Delprotes: [citat] Ok, yes this is entirely correct. Wet gypsum is hazardous to health as an unpleasant fungus (stachybotrys atra) tends to live on the gypsum paper. Best regards
Immobil: 8) It's usually called facade sheet metal. Mostly used for agricultural buildings, workshops, etc. Not completely maintenance-free either. :P
Immobil: The simplest version is perforated masonite that you attach to a framework (22 x 45). :D
janix: Hi, I've checked the forum, now I hope someone knows where we should turn to as we are interested in this floor plan + architecture. But Onsalavillan only builds in Gothenburg, we have been in contact with a company in Stockholm, but the budget needs to be thinned out a bit more to meet our budget. http://www.onsalavillan.se/villa.asp?id=20&typ=1_2 hope someone can help us. We are going to
NordiCs: Good question, it's probably hard to answer if you haven't seen the room. My father is currently building a bathroom with a sloped ceiling, and the room is also about 3x3m and the ceiling slopes from about 2.20 to 2.50. He's going to tile the whole bathroom, but I don't think it will look strange, rather I believe it will become a "fun" detail in the bathroom. But it might be different if there's
MrMagic: If you need to attach to hollow bricks, you will probably need those sleeves; otherwise, you'll go through a lot of anchor compound, and it's expensive as gold! Alternatively, you might be able to use a nut and washer on the inside of the threaded rod. You can recess it and then plaster over it if it's visible on the inside.... Otherwise, there are pretty good plastic plugs that can be used, the
PeterF: You screw with a special drywall screw that is meant for metal studs. Track and stud are connected with the drywall screw. Special tool? What do you mean then?
fremag: Hmm, that link didn't work so I'm pasting the content: Ordering a container When you need to order a container for bulky or electrical waste, contact one of the contractors that the Waste Management Department has procured and approved. Apelns Express AB, tel. 08 - 447 14 70 Hellstens Grovsopor AB, tel. 08 - 86 03 10 IL Recycling AB, tel. 08 - 514 201 60 Liselotte Lööf AB, tel. 08 - 728 32 80
MrMagic: If you need parts in Skåne, I might be able to help, I have some pallets lying around. I could consider exchanging with spirorör 100-125-160-200.
JanneH: Then we're both a little lost then ;-). But thanks for the information, it still gives a hint. Janne
MathiasS: Now it starts to sound like Eternit causes cancer just by looking at it. Why do these threads always end like this? An Eternit sheet that has been moved from its place on the wall to a car is completely harmless, regardless of whether it is in a bag or not. IT DOES NOT DUST and is therefore COMPLETELY HARMLESS. As long as you don't break the sheet, Eternit boards are no more dangerous than a bag
Hobbit: Hello, a friend is going to build with Ytong and is wondering where one can currently purchase these clever things in Gothenburg and the surrounding area. Any ideas anyone? Regards Hobbit
askur: a rather "loose" question: Does anyone know how good oil-impregnated plywood is, i.e., how well does it resist moisture? I'm asking because our house has this type of plywood almost everywhere, and I'm wondering what might happen to it in the long term?
MathiasS: Wet plaster should work, someone worked with plyfa I recall. In the bathroom, I'm planning to use a rigid foam construction board (LUX, KGC) and that should work outside the bathroom as well...... Trim can be cut in thicker plyfa. If you absolutely want a rift-sawn structure on the outside, you need to piece together several boards...
David: Hi Svartjobbaren, When you say "gum," most people understand that you mean waterproofing layer. At least Mapei does. I have some adhesive from Poland in the construction shed that I will check when there's daylight. I'll get back to you with it. Best regards, David
hempularen: If the wall is on the ground floor, it is primarily a matter of which direction the joists of the intermediate floor run. We live in a 2-story house with a "small" sloping wall. And we have a load-bearing wall on the ground floor that runs across the house. When you have a 1 1/2-story house (i.e., if the eaves are at the height of the intermediate floor), it is usually the case that the lower
lgf02001: Searched online and found an image that can identify what kind of white "growth" I have in the crawl space foundation. According to the image, it looks like salt efflorescence. What to do? Is it enough to adjust the plastic that covers the foundation? It has broken in some places and therefore is not functioning optimally as a condensation barrier. I also have sand on top, and from what I
isendahl: Am a satisfied owner of galvanized gutters that "tried to get an older look with galvanized gutters... and folded bends on the downspouts" for six years, no rust seen yet... Previously had installed downspouts from Lindab which I do not recommend. Lindab's silver-painted ones are also plastisol, right? Still waiting for the current downspouts to be painted with linseed oil paint, they will have
Fasting65: it is not a stupid question, but sure it is possible. Check out www.maxit.se, www.finja.se, www.sto.se. All three are suppliers of plaster mortar. They have illustrations and descriptions of how to plaster houses.
hempularen: Alun shale contains 2 substances that are/have been of interest to the energy industry. It contains oil that was previously extracted (I didn't know it was as early as 29), and it also contains high levels of Uranium. First, Oil was extracted, and then when the nuclear power initiative began, Uranium was also extracted. The by-product was partly used for (blue) lightweight concrete. Note that
gaia: [citat] Yes, it takes time to heat heavy stones. Our old masonry stove doesn't get really hot either, but you can feel that it's warmer than your hand at least, and you can feel some warmth the next day. Lightweight ovens and stoves heat up quickly but cool down just as fast. If you have a heavy piece, it's slower, but that's not a disadvantage, I think. And the surface that emits heat is large,
rar: What about heat-treated wood? http://www.tt.luth.se/staff/margot/varme/varme.htm and http://www.lunawood.fi/english/index2.html Check under "Applications", neat I think!
