Amadeo II construction update: roof and interior walls
| 28 April 2010 - Comments (0) | Construction |
We started the work on the roof of Amadeo II. We first put up the concrete and wooden supportive structure before the work of the cover can start. In the meantime, electrical installation has been continuing and is now almost complete. We also work on the malter on the interior walls and we received a shipment of cork that will be used for sound insulation of the separative walls.
Progression on the roof
Work on the roof started by doing the horizontal concrete reinforcement on both sides of the roof. Roof rafters as well as the parapet and valley between roofs rest on this concrete.

Roof rafters are then installed and the gable wall can be raised to match the slop of the roof. The gable wall is finished and smoothed with concrete.

Structural work on the roof will continue into the next week and roof cover with Decra-Octava will start.
Progression on the inside mortar
In the meantime, as the electrical installation is finishing, we started the work on the inside walls and ceilings. We apply a layer of standard mortar on which plastering will be done.

On the walls separating apartments, we will install, on both sides, a layer of 2cm of industrial cork boards from Amorim. That will provides superior sound insulation and comfort in the apartment.
