Building Materials and Construction Technology
egge: Yesterday I bought boards measuring 1200x2400 for 60 bucks each at Silvan, which breaks down to 20 bucks per square meter. Other dimensions then gradually increased in price.
NGT: For Polish windows, you can contact www.city-country. se They probably only have plastic at the moment, but they look very good and have a better k (u)-value than wooden windows. In addition, they make them to order, and that's how most things with windows work in Poland, so if you don't want to travel back and forth with the outrageously expensive ferry, you'll "save" by shopping and ordering in
NGT: Check with www.city-country.se, they import building materials from Poland and also facilitate contacts for e.g., tiles and the best part is they also arrange the shipping to Sweden as well!
bygganders: Uffff...expensive...87:- m2 Considering masonite 12:-/m2 and 24:- /m2 for asfan... Makes over 6000 :- in difference... on 70 m2.... Will probably go with asfan... Thanks for the tip though...:) Anders
lob: Hi I went to the municipality's Environment and Health Protection Office and borrowed a Gamma radiation meter. If it reacts wildly, you're supposed to proceed with a proper radon measurement. The humor in the situation was that when I looked at my Lättbetong house, I brought the meter with me to the viewing. I lowered the sensitivity outdoors (different scales) so that it only "crackled" a
Mjölnaren: Certainly not worth it as it becomes bulky & thus extremely expensive shipping 8) Unless you buy so much that it fills up a full load on a truck ;)
Gutte: How is it easiest to fasten in aerated concrete? Nail or screw? I am going to put trim around my new exterior door. The problem is that there was an old frame with double doors before (one that opened out and one that opened in), so it will be a trim that is 130mm. The wall where the trim is to be attached is very uneven. Any good tips along the way???
arnel: I have used pallet spacers that I bought at Beijer. They are plastic blocks about 4x8 cm, available in different thicknesses of 1, 5, and 10 mm. I have also tried using steel studs, like a secondary profile. I will probably use that next time. And just to be clear, no wooden studs against concrete in a basement. -- ArneL
Vedklabben: We are considering extending the house with an expansion of approximately 10 square meters on a gable. The house is a typical wooden house with concrete tiles, etc., and is built on a crawl space foundation. The house was built in 1988. When the new room is extended, it will be like a box built against the existing external wall. We are thinking of recessing wardrobes into this external wall that
Magnus_Nordmark: [citat] No idea, but as I mentioned, it's real quality and design through and through, and that costs. But give them a call, the trio of women who own the company are nice! //Magnus
fooney: One understands they have probably experienced cable stops a few times... the hose tends to get flattened...
zankan: [citat] Door frames and sheet metal work with special screws if you don't use special door studs that are available; you can make these yourself as follows. To get it awesome.... 1) Attach your metal stud 22 mm from the place where the door should be. 2) One layer of gypsum now stretches across the door and the whole thing. You run continuously here. Sure, there will be waste, but it won't be a
dymlingen: I saw a panel at a construction site that looked like a plywood board with white gravel on it. Looks like a regular plastered wall from a little distance. Might be something for my garage in barn style. Anyone know the brand? How do you cut such a panel? I assume the saw will get dull?
Fasting65: The width can be anything depending on which saw you bought from. For us, the new smooth tongue and groove worked perfectly with our old subfloor from 1937. http://www.fasting65.se/byggdagbok/dagboken/04_juni/06-15/web/IMG_3350.jpg However, the tongue and groove differed a little bit. Note: Keep in mind that subfloors often consist of spruce (fewer knots, rounder knots, and fewer black knots).
Arlington_Cowgirl: I have been searching the internet for prices on garage doors, but there seem to be few that have them on their websites. Does anyone know where you can find rolling doors/folding doors at a good price? I'm also on the lookout for interior doors. They should be quite modern and sleek. Any tips?
sealc: Thanks for the answers! The reason I want to build preferably without load-bearing crossbeams, etc., is that the space under the bed will house the computer, which means a lot of cables, and then a beam can seem aggressive for those who don't watch out. Maybe a couple of horizontally lying thin (a few mm) metal rods could relieve the chipboard, even though they are not load-bearing themselves?
Langbein: Harsher weather is coming in the future even here. In the disaster, I thought I could see that what remains are "stone houses" and I'm reminded of our standard with standing planks, pitiful plastered wooden houses that burn easily and are unlikely to withstand harsh weather. Is the new standard better with panels or are more brick houses needed?
spacebot: Request a quote from various building supply stores. They deliver to your home. For example, Angereds Bygg etc.
fooney: Okay, you mean the part leading into the meter cabinet... I know that in the municipality where I live, the power supplier always handles that part... and today they run 4*10/10 which shouldn't be forgotten. Even if you are responsible for both the cable and the digging yourself, it will be the same connection fee... so it doesn't really matter :P
Magnus_Nordmark: [citat] Exactly, you should reason your way, it's almost always best that way! Now, I don't know what the house will look like and what taste the owners have, so my ideas are based on what I think could look nice. I've seen other constructions of cantilevered balconies where they used a UPE beam as a frame and then filled it with decking. Galvanized UPE can look very sleek on a "new
fooney: [citat] Hehe yeah that's the right spirit but it wasn't a big house only 6 meters long, right?
CaJa: 585 SEK for a board that is approximately 240x120 cm (K rauta price)
lassemajja: At Bauhaus they have modular stairs that you assemble yourself for about 25000 in wood and aluminum. Best regards Kristofer
Fasting65: I can then take the opportunity to try to explain how to upload an image. First, you need to place the image on a web server. Then you write a post and insert the image using the button [bild] in the button row. When you click the above button, you get two "tags" - a start tag and an end tag. Between these tags, you place the address of your image that you've placed on a web server. Then the code
LennartL: [citat] What I've learned is that the best way seems to be to buy entire wrapped lumber packages from a supplier. That way, I get everything either good or quite good, and a small amount of "bad" which I use where quality doesn't matter. The alternative is to watch when deliveries arrive at the lumber yard to pick out the good pieces - and leave the later buyers with the scraps ;) There seems to
settler: [citat] :)Aha! It's about Wolmanit and on the second floor. In what way might it affect things, I wonder?
Kalle_Kofot: You could become an anarchist for less. Then I don't think the wall is thaaaat load-bearing... But I install an HEA because it looks nice. Really nice... KK
marcus133: Thank you for that, let's go with that.
casado: I am going to build a house and I am currently reviewing the optional features for this. The standard price of the house includes just standard white doors (10 pcs) from Dooria/Kungsäter. They are quite dull, so I want oak doors instead. For this, oak door frames and handles are also needed. The standard exterior doors aren't anything to write home about either (the 2 pcs come from Bordörren).
