Today we (Mr architect and myself) visited a cement plant. The vendor, to me one day raised the subject, was a good salesman. Because concrete is very much susceptible to cracks.
But that will not cause sleepless nights, because the "bad" side of the walls, thanks to a new plant at the now almost more beautiful than the "good" side. The many technical terms and the extravagant lunches have flattened me something We'll see if I can play all right.
The finished walls are "plotted" by a giant robot. A single wall can be finished up to 10 x 3.50 (?) m tall. Over a tray of these dimensions injected the robot, a type of crane and puts everything he was told by the technical office. This is called there, plotting. So once the external dimensions, then small magnet, he draws with some clear fluid. When it is finished, the tray moves into the next room. Where real people work. A carpenter made formwork for window and door openings. Other employees use cable boxes or rails (for curtains or sliding doors) to the robot by magnets predetermined positions. When and by whom the reinforcing parts are placed, is eluded me. Then moves the tray to down to the ground floor, where the exact amount of concrete has already been delivered. An employee goes to another big robot fills the tray and everything that should be filled.
The next step is a matter of taste. It is shaken. So much so that the earth quakes. I personally feel threatened something and always had the urge to put me on the floor. After all, the heaps and valleys on the tray with a flat now, finally, the result looks like a wall.
After shaking the walls were recently inspected by us in the house ready. Clear that since the two sides were different smooth. Now comes the new device, which I've forgotten the exact name, into play. A large round disk rotates about the concrete and smooth it. As it were a heavy, rotating iron. It still remain Luftlöcherleins. When concrete is piled in front of the smoothing quartz sand, which fills this Löcherleins.
front of the hall were a lot of houses, but not yet assembled. So a lot of walls. Since some (many) people in our region like no concrete will be colored red, then they like it. In addition to the red house we saw testing for black trays (this basement insulation), where the insulation was poured on the concrete.
walls that are insulated with thermal insulation composite systems are not smooth on the outside, but roughened so that the WVS better babbt it. Pardon, that was Swabian. That means: keep it.
cavity walls consist of two linked by iron thin walls, the cavity is then filled with concrete on site. Double walls with styrofoam or other Dämm-/Isolierungsmaterial. They are complicated and expensive. In addition, thick. Under 40 cm to make anything. And I have been suffering with my 36 cm. So it is nüscht.
Fortunately, the news that a concrete core is not complicated or terribly expensive. It sounds to me layman who does not like to sweat, extremely attractive. The floor is well known from the ceiling, that is calibrated for the normal people on the floor. Down in the ceiling, that is where it hangs over our heads we are happy to settle the spiders, you can also put tubes. Due to the high flows in summer, cool water. Because heat rises and cold down, we find this activation is simply cool.
The reader may forgive that these details are described in such detail. The wealth of information will be sorted and this diary will help the overburdened building (m) mistress, in two weeks to even remember it. Therefore, some short notes:
- structural engineer needs to be clarified
- contractors may have to work carefully. Unlike Duplo our system can not be taken apart again, if inadvertently the wrong wall was used. A large window front to the north to the road we can not sparkling.
- there was something wrong with storing the waste air chimney. Goes some way but up.
- What are convectors?
- Mr architect but actually right: a flat roof should be tight. No matter whether concrete or wood underneath. Or?
- on sheer wall places I have not understood whether the window when seat assignments can and must. We want it flush with the outer wall. Tomorrow we have appointment with energy consultants and maybe one idea.
- The soffits (1) A new theme for me, but I think I have understood it. A simple square wall is less prone to cracking than one with for example a door lintel. So was the idea of making ceiling-high sliding doors. This results in more work on the site - more pieces of the puzzle.
- The soffits (2) The wall is hollow when filling the spot on the front page never as beautiful as the solid wall. So there are to get there where the windows / doors etc. In the picture I have been exaggerated:
"touched" by me as the named version is given a protective cap to the concrete on site is not to verruckelt fails. The architects like Lord at all. He's just an angular man ;-)
Seriously, it is these details, the little things that cause discomfort afterwards. Or call out especially well-being. We are in the case of hollow walls probably have to make any disguise. That suits me not at first. As Mr offers concrete-and-field expert at all a solution: the Vals quartzite.
Yep, a few days ago our Lieblingspostbote was bent before the door would not go away and admit that I Wear package itself into the apartment. I naively thought that I was not as old as I look. The stuff is incredibly difficult! Why the Vals Therme have not crashed? And all Holzhüttchen there have roofs made of this material megatons. Almost overwhelming.
But more stunning was the contents of the package. There is the stone in three variations:
- light
- gray
- Eye quartzite
We like light, which has beautiful stripes. Mr. cast-field expert is a hobby, natural stone and says, any wall, we are still able to make it. The stone would be easy to ... Yes, I think so too. Now he proposes to trim to make the Ortbetonstreifen in Vals quartzite stripes.
Well, now we will all be finally sit down and eat something.
