Building Materials and Construction Technology
Challe: They are ugly with their different price lists. I also don't believe they're dealing 60% below consumer price. The best thing is to have something to "threaten" with. I've started checking now and the contact I have at the local building supply store I thought was really good. Got a price on single-lap roof tiles from Vittinge. 10.67 SEK/piece + VAT. Called Beijer and got a lower price of 10.50
Bokholmen: Nail gun ;) then the nails are not visible and it's convenient!
sveag: I have also reconsidered and will lay the wood overlay and nail them together. But in any case, I need carriage bolts to attach the posts.
dave001: Currently building a deck that rests on three beams/joists 45x195. On top of and perpendicular to the beams will be floor joists 45x145 (cc60) and finally decking 28x120 on top of the floor joists. Two of the beams are in post shoes in footings, but the last beam will be attached to the house wall, which is made of aerated concrete. Does anyone have tips on a good fastening method for a 195x45
Christian84: At what relative humidity can you lay vinyl flooring on a concrete floor? And how long does it take before the relative humidity is reached? What are the different levels of "readiness" for concrete?
Challe: Create a drawing and send it to Italy. It's the cheapest but also the trickiest. At least half the price. If you know someone who speaks Italian, it's a piece of cake. Challe
styrman1: 60:- is pretty ok if it includes VAT. Recently there was a price increase from benders that not all retailers have noticed yet.
Fasting65: I bought a hundred-meter roll plus two tubes of silicone for five hundred from the glass master. They have top-notch stuff. The building supply stores just have junk lists.
MathiasS: you know that you don't need to go to the point of purchase? There are those who do nothing but trade with pallets.
Fasting65: Okay. I'm not too hajj on tunnputser. Thanks for the clarification.
JRG: Currently finishing the upstairs of our 1½ story house. Now started looking at moldings and have a question about whether there are any stylish moldings that you put on the wall against the support beams and where the ceiling starts. The roof has a 35-degree slope. Anyone have an idea, preferably with pictures.
furvilla: Check with a mechanical workshop or search online. I shop from Stena Metall, but they might not be near you. Rog
spisen: We will replace the facade metal on the upper floor (around 90 m2) with horizontal paneling. We will also need additional insulation. 1) What is a reasonable material cost per m2 for this? Approximate price for paneling + insulation. 2) What can be estimated for labor cost? We have received an offer (labor only) that includes dismantling the metal, additional insulation, and panel installation =
jojjeblom: Hi, I wasn't planning on needing to paint. Tryckimpat is what I was thinking of using, then it will be oil once a year./jojje
sater: That's great, I have a K-rauta nearby :)
opelhenke: I have torn up the floor and there is plenty of space to stand and spray, so it's probably a good way. It's just the sill logs left, should one spray the ground and the stones as well, and is a gas mask used for car painting sufficient against the substance? Opelhenke
Niq: I would think it is a porous fiberboard. It was used a lot in the past on log houses as insulation. This board breathes and releases moisture pretty much the same way wood does. Those boards are held together by the wood's own lignin. Nowadays, they are usually impregnated with asphalt and are then called asfaboard. But there are also ones that only have a surface of tar and are then just made of
Totte_S: We didn't bother to find out what was needed but asked for a price per m2 for labor and materials excluding tiles. Just specifying that it should be done in accordance with industry rules for tile installation in wet areas. Most of the craftsmen could provide a reasonable proposal with that basis. They also want to know the size of the tiles to estimate the time required.
zankan: [citat] You nail into the frame and the wall, as well as glue the miter, and if you want, you can also drive a nail from top to bottom into the stand. If the trims are pre-lacquered, 5 nails in the frame and 2-3 in the wall are sufficient. 30 mm nails in the frame and 50 in the wall.
moken: [citat] Hi, don't you want to share an approximate sum? Have emailed tjallden for a quote about 1½ weeks ago, but still haven't received a response :-(
Jesca_j: We didn't have any space left when we were down last time, so we didn't buy fix and fog, but we'll bring it in the next round! There were Swedoor interior doors, but we got doors with the house, so we didn't buy any. I didn't check roof tiles.
Tomaser: In Vällingby, you have Kakelslottet, they have a wide selection at good prices. www.kakelslottet.se
Tomaser: The easiest way is to glue it up.. works just fine, there are fasteners for that, goes faster than nailing.
blofeldt: Browse the forum, use the search function. Generally speaking, Poland is one of the cheapest countries in Europe, if not the cheapest, in terms of price index. Email or call some of the larger department stores and they'll provide you with price information. Stena Line, for example, has links to the largest department stores.
akinna: Hello! We're considering going to Poland to buy building materials. Check out www7.stenaline.se where you can click on "-Sveriges billigaste priser finns i Polen". There are maps of stores, and you can also get some price examples from the stores' campaign leaflets. Good luck!
