My render has lasted 20 years and usually needs a yearly power clean especially on the southern side of the house. Would I have render again.
There are some questions you have to ask yourself when choosing a building material: Cost of building and what you can afford. Cost of re-painting) What is your soil like? Is it highly reactive? This can be a pain in the neck when you render a house and cracks start to appear. Consider the climate when selecting building materials (lightweight or thermal mass? Better insulation on the western side of the house. Do you want to build sustainably?
It usually costs more to built sustainably however the running cost of the house will be cheaper in the long run. Check out below link, one of many building products. The bath will be supported by timber rails along two walls and I was planning to use ordinary bricks (which I have) to build the support wall under the other end of the bath. This will not be seen when the end section is filled in. I was then going to use Hebel to block in the front of the bath.
I was thinking of using 75mm hebel blocks where possible and 50mm for where space prohibits. What have you used? If I build the end end support wall first this will be free standing and only butt up to the bathroom wall with mortar. It will not be locked into the hebel front wall built later either - but I could leave room for some sort of tie from the hebel wall to be fixed to the brick wall with mortar. Once bath fitted in place I could then build front wall using bath lip as a drop line, allowing for tiles and adhesive - most accurate way.
Googling I did find some info but not for this type of project, however it seems that hebel can be screwed without using plugs - large thread. How have people found this - I would expect that you could easily strip the hole for bite. If fixing a small piece of villaboard to the top of the hebel wall for the shelf at the end, what is the best way to do this - just glue it, or screw it? CSR Hebel manufactures and markets a range of lightweight Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks, reinforced PowerPanels, cladding and lintels for use in the housing and commercial construction industry.
CSR Hebel also sells complementary mortars, tools and accessories. In 1989, CSR became involved with Hebel and established the Australian operation. Designed for Inner Comfort With Hebel PowerWall clients can enjoy a comfortable interior in their home, and be comfortable with their choice for the environment. Manufacture of Hebel materials uses a small fraction of the energy and natural resources used in manufacturing conventional masonry, producing almost no waste or by-products.
Designed for Inner Peace Hebel PowerWall helps you create a tranquil inner space. We have worked closely with acoustic experts and testing authorities to engineer inherently superior acoustics from our wall and floor systems. They create a sound barrier to external noise and from other rooms within the home. Hebel PowerPanel is reinforced with steel for extra strength. Hebel is also extremely fire-resistant and is not a food source for termites. They also minimise the need for supporting materials, saving budget resources and energy.
Hebel PowerPanel is faster to install than bricks, saving on building costs. Hebel products are lightweight, reducing the structural load on the frame and its design requirements for supporting building materials. Their low weight makes Hebel PowerPanels ideal for use in difficult applications such as sloping sites. An external wall of Hebel PowerPanels is steel-reinforced, solid and secure. Hebel PowerPanels have better thermal efficiency than brick veneer or even double brick walls, resulting in reduced heating and cooling costs.
Further thermal efficiency may be achieved by adding insulation to the frame cavity. Hebel is fire-resistant, with a fire rating of up to four hours. The system consists of 75mm thick. For quick, clean construction, Hebel PowerPanels can be ordered in the stock lengths of 2400mm. The 600mm wide PowerPanels are also available in the additional lengths of 1200mm. Panel reinforcement is a single layer of steel mesh with 4 longitudinal wires of 4mm diameter.
Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) and technical advice from CSR Hebel. Co-ordination and compliance with specifications by the project engineer, building designer and architect where required is also compulsory. These project consultants are also responsible for incorporating this system into the subject project. If you are not in receipt of any of these documents, please ask your CSR Hebel representative or project consultant to provide them prior to commencement of any Hebel PowerWall installation.
Adjust engineering drawings and advise concretor. Nominal total wall thickness 170mm (70mm stud) or 190mm (90mm stud). Adjust documentation to suit PowerPanel system: with openings dimensioned, distance between openings to 300mm module, distance from openings to corners to 300mm module and to suit PowerPanel orientation. Ensure structural design of frame allows for the additional weight of the suspended PowerPanels.
Bracing to be steel cross bracing where possible, otherwise ply the whole wall. Framer to be informed of system requirements. Windows to be ordered with correct reveal size. Windows to be ordered to suit 300mm module if possible. In either case, the width should be shown on the drawings. Design and document any special features on the drawing, such as quoins, corbels, sills, trims, etc. Select colour and texture prior to PowerPanel installation.
Select colour for special features, if necessary. Dwellings Constructed Side By-Side on a Single Allotment Where it is proposed to construct single dwellings side-by-side on a single allotment the internal wall between dwellings is a fire separating wall as defined in the BCA. The wall must go to the underside of a non-combustible roof covering and any gaps be filled with fireresisting material as described in Detail 3.
Contact your local authorities, as there may also be applicable legislation or discretionary powers available to vary these provisions. Dwellings Constructed SideBy-Side on twist a saw testbericht Single Allotment Where Subdivision May Subsequently Occur. Contact your local authorities, as there may also be applicable legislation or discretionary powers available to vary these provisions. Hebel PartyWall Solutions in tiered applications Where the internal fire separation wall extends beyond the roof line on one side only and becomes an external wall, contact CSR Hebel Engineering Services for advice on PowerWall external wall solutions.
