Slate cladding is on the rise for new builds in Denmark. Seeing more and more of it. Not sure of the cost though.

goatface posted:How do they fare in a good storm? Haven’t heard of any problems. I live by the beach, and many people have this type of cladding. We get maybe 2-3 storms a year, so I believe it’s fine. It’s also popular in Norway, and they have rougher weather than us. Especially along the coast.

The old asbestos cement tile (eternitt etc) is stereotypically the house cladding of choice in the most weather-beaten little fishing villages on the North Sea coast, and those slate tiles seem to be very similar.

I was mostly wondering because the little clips used to hold them on look puny. But if it works, cool.

Increasing number of heatwaves, and somebody clads a house in a material that looks at the sun and shouts "WITNESS MEEEEE!!!!!" Makes sense.

Wifi Toilet posted:Wouldn't water just go in through the vertical seam, run down the inside, then pool on top of the next panel down which would be right up against the wood? Yes, some water could do that. There may be material like plastic or metal behind the seams to prevent this, but we don't see it installed in the photo. If not, the horizontal wood looks pressure treated so it's ok with some water. The vertical wood strips are a rain screen system, providing a drainage plane down the face of the wall along the water barrier. Any water that gets behind the slate has a way down and out that will prevent it pooling anywhere, and airflow to dry it. But if there was no rain screen, yes, in a wet climate something like that could be a problem.

The upper floor of our house is clad in clay hanging tiles, fairly common around these parts. The house is 50 years old, we've had to replace the tiles under the eaves but otherwise everything still in place and no leaks

A place just round the corner from us had slate cladding put on a few months ago, and there was definitely a water resistant layer that went underneath.

Lived in a maisonette of this construction for ten years. On one hand, it was a 1960s ex-council housing build to Parker Morris standards with masses of space. On the other hand, the concrete tiles I think are fixed back to a thin wooden frame with tar paper behind, then a suggestion of insulation, then the plasterboard. Those were the warm walls. The build quality was amusing. Not a single right angle in the place, and every single hinge, socket or light fitting had one of the screws missing like the builder was skimming off material to build a whole extra house. Asbestos tiles under the carpet, artex on the ceiling. The bricks are characterful too. They're either as tough as tank armour or explode into dust at the first hint of a drill. Fun times.

I've had this post in the barrel for a few days but have had all sorts of nonsense going on. Like driving north to only fall over in the mud, have a strop and drive all the way back again the same night. I feel like the claddings gone up too easy? i mean I know its all going to warp and fall back off again. but still. so up at the top the second to last board, or possibly the last board, has tobe cut around each of the rafter ends. Then the last board or the minus 1 board bits have to be stuck in seperately. I can't get the nail gun in there to engage the firing mechanism. But I've got some cheeky headless screws I can use. Then I've got to go all the way round, measure up and install that top (ish) long board with cutouts for each rafter end. I've made up some smaller holder spacers to rest the board on and mark up where to do cuts lol that board is sat on the chopsaw but thats just to balance it somewhere, I used my new cheap poo poo jigsaw to do the cutouts. did it fit first time? lets just say yes. which works on the backside. but like everywhere else theres windows and stuff that complicate things. looks pretty sweet WTF why are the windows like this? opened up all the bifoldage just because i can look how many cars I can park in my lounge roughly half the broken ones I have on site. certain places present certain challenges. like I've got to slink wiring for lights round to where I want them outside from where it made sense (lol) to exit them from the envelope. but also I've got window top reveals that need fixing up. a balancing act. I was going to make metal lids for these window tops but they are so tucked up under the eaves I dont see it being needed so havent. measuring poo poo cutting poo poo lol I havent got the photo of installing poo poo. But I guess it was fine. mess beginning to pile up i want to eat this Lights! hmmm. why isnt that one on the left on? so that light was the last one wired up, and I ran out of cable so switched to a slightly different one and its colour coded slightly different and my colour blindness may not have helped here. long story short, at the junction box above the light I'd wired live to earth. fix3ed it also i realise I've hosed up and havent done the wave sensors on either front or back door inside or outside. I can fix it but its annoying. So the doors are going to unlock automatically via housebrain in the case of certain datapoints being established but they won't actually physically disengage the locks until a final "handshake" which is going to be waving a hand either vertically or horizontally past a sensor. The alternative will alert the house to a danger state and whatever protocols will thusly be followed. So I need the handwave sensors. These. Its going to take a bit off loving about but I can drill back in from outside to sort those ones on the outside. This is largely to prevent baddies getting in just because I go to the front door with my phone in my pocket and it authenticates me. I want a physical unlock action still in the chain. got it hang that there for later cutting the final finishing boards. So doing the top two layers of board has taken longer than all the rest below what a muddy mess round the back again Anyway needed to finish off here for some wiring but thats basically all the cladding done lazer out to try and figure out the guttering. Which is going to need some refinement. all the cladding I have left. 3 boards and a big pile i guess

Impressive stuff love those huge opening doors/windows. Though I feel at some point your smart house is going to lock you out in an emergency and it will you pooping in the bushes. Full circle.

I'm genuinely surprised at seeing a brick frame house with a wooden facade. It's completely the opposite how it would be here, you'd have a wooden framed house and then a brick exterior. e: I figured with brick construction you'd just apply render or something to the outside. It looks good like this though, just an unfamiliar reversion to me. His Divine Shadow fucked around with this message at 07:47 on Nov 6, 2023 |

The Russians simply used a lock House is looking good, the cladding is going to need some treatment though right? Round these parts in the Alps pretty much all wood is stained dark brown which does last for ages but I think would make this house look a bit dingy.
